Homeopathy & Alternative Treatment for Dealing with Chronic Pain

Chronic pain is said to be the most costly health problem in North America, with annual costs exceeding $100 billion including direct medical expenses, lost income, lost productivity, compensation payments and legal charges.

Chronic pain affects the ability of a person to put in a full day’s work or affects career advancement.
About 75 per cent of people with chronic pain have lived with it for more than three years, and nearly half of people with chronic pain delay talking with a health care provider, thinking the pain may go away or they can just live with the pain, according to a survey from the American Chronic Pain Association.

Chronic pain is also one of the most serious problems in modern medicine today because of the under utilized options out there for patients.
Millions of patients suffer from chronic pain, and many of them cannot relieve their pain without narcotics.


Many patients receive enough medicine to provide relief for four hours out of the day, and have to decide which 20 hours of the day they will spend in extreme pain.
There is something to be said for the benefits of modern pain medication if you suffer from an acute pain such as from an accident or surgery—it is almost miraculous.

But for people living with chronic pain, the painkillers that have been prescribed stop being effective or can be lethal with long-term use. In the past, many pain medications have been recalled due to safety issues.Chronic pain may be triggered by a disease or injury, or the cause may not be clear.

Among the more common pain conditions are migraine, back pain and fibro-myalgia, and while there are a number of pharmaceutical and over-the-counter pain medications, there seems to be a point where modern medicine has nothing more to offer a person to help with their ongoing suffering.
Increasingly, consumers are turning to complementary and alternative medicine such as homeopathy.
Homeopathy helps patients by making their systems less susceptible to pain.
