How does Naturopathy work in managing pain?
The practice of Naturopathy is designed to enhance current treatment models by incorporating a range of nonpharmacological modalities, from acupuncture and massage to mindfulness and yoga, into the routine care of pain patients with the goal of lessening pain and improving function and quality of life.
What does the program include?
The 5 effective methods of pain management we use are:
- Anti-inflammatory diet – Along with removing toxic foods from diet, following an anti-inflammatory diet high in antioxidants and healthy fats can help decrease inflammation and make your body resilient to pain.
- Acupuncture – It works through the release of muscle trigger points as well as the discharge of endorphins, which are natural pain-killers that decrease pain signals to the brain and increase blood circulation to stimulate the body’s ability to heal itself.
- Natural therapies – Swedish massage, potli massage, steam bath, mustard pack, vichy shower, osteopathy, heat and ice compress, vibro massage, infrared light therapy, etc.
- Yoga – Aims to help reduce muscle stiffness, improve flexibility, improve blood circulation and strengthen the muscles/joints with the practice of Asanas (postures).

physical manipulations of the muscles, tissues, and bones.
