Living with persistent pain affects you in ways that people who lead pain-free lives often don’t fully understand. It can keep you from activities you love, make you tired faster, and force you into modifications that put excess strain on other parts of your body. Ultimately, you want relief — and a return to normalcy.
To help you achieve that without invasive procedures or unwelcome side effects, Patrick Connolly, DC, and our team at Paragon Integrated Medical develop alternative pain therapy plans for our patients in Lake Elsinore, California, and the surrounding areas. If you’re burdened by persistent pain, this option can help you find relief.
How alternative pain therapy works
Here at Paragon Integrated Medical, Dr. Connolly offers injection-based alternative pain therapy. With this treatment, he can deliver what your body needs to support your joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Alternative pain therapy can reduce inflammation, interrupt pain signals, and support your body’s healing processes. This makes it effective for a broad variety of pain types, including pain in your:
- Back
- Elbow
- Hip
- Knee
- Neck
- Shoulder
Alternative pain therapy isn’t just beneficial because it’s effective. It has some other notable perks, too.
Alternative pain therapy benefits
Let’s take a look at what you can expect with alternative treatment:
No medication
Far too many people living with chronic pain get prescribed medication as a long-term solution. The issue is that the medication often doesn’t do anything to address the root cause of your discomfort. Instead, it just masks the symptoms.
What’s more, medication can come with dependence issues and side effects. If you don’t want to find yourself reliant on a prescription or living with unwelcome side effects, alternative pain therapy may be a better choice for you.
No surgery
In some cases, persistent pain can be resolved with surgery. The issue, though, is that surgery is certainly not a risk-free undertaking. Plus, it generally comes with an extensive recovery period.
To avoid the possibility of complications from a procedure and the rehabilitation and downtime that often comes with it, you can consider alternative paint therapy.
Personalized care
Another significant benefit of alternative pain therapy centers around the way Dr. Connolly delivers it. With a variety of treatments to choose from in his alternative therapy protocol, he can tailor a treatment plan for your specific pain levels, mobility goals, and other parameters.
This makes alternative pain therapy an option that can work seamlessly into your life, potentially coming alongside other treatments like massage and chiropractic care to give you ideal results.
