Drugs Are Not the Answer to Resolving Chronic Pain

Chronic neck, hip, knee and back pain are a problem of pandemic proportions affecting more American than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined. Statistics reveal that people continue to spend billions on treatments to free themselves from their chronic pain with little to no relief.

Drugs are used by millions of chronic pain sufferers across the globe. They are spending billions just to manage their pain. In America alone, billions of dollars are spent each year for over-the-counter pain medication. In 2005, 20 billion dollars were spent on prescription medication for chronic back pain.

Opioid therapy has become a common method of treatment for severe chronic pain. Well-known side effects include dependence or addiction, aberrant drug behavior and respiratory depression (which can lead to death). Over one million Americans are currently addicted to opioids.

The American Pain Society has recently issued a new Guideline for Prescribing Opioid Pain Drugs. For patients at “higher risk for misuse of opioids, this guideline advises giving patients clear written rules,” such as:

Filling prescriptions at one pharmacy only
Taking random drug tests
Making regular physician visits
Locking their medications at home

Clearly, this tells us that the time has come to look for alternative and effective non-drug solutions to treat chronic pain. Unfortunately, the problem with many current treatments for chronic musculoskeletal pain is that they do not address the source of the pain. As with anything in life, without addressing the source of a problem, it is impossible to find a real and permanent solution. Without finding and addressing the source of the pain – one must continually manage it.

Fortunately, a previously unknown source of chronic muscle and joint pain now has been discovered. It is in your feet.

There exists a neural-mechanical pathway which connects the bottom of your feet to your brain. Signals are sent from the feet to the brain and they tell the brain the position of the body relative to its surroundings. The brain uses this information to adjust the body’s posture.

There are two inherited foot structures which cause the foot to twist when you stand or walk. This foot twist creates distorted signals being sent to the brain. The brain responds by creating a distortion in the posture. Bad posture then leads to increased stress and strain on the joints and muscles. The end result is inflammation and pain. If the source of the bad posture (the inherited foot structure) is not addressed and handled, the pain becomes chronic.

Hence, the key to returning to wellness is to correct the distorted signals generated from a twisting foot. This is accomplished by placing specific stimulation underneath the feet, which sends corrected signals to the brain. The brain responds by automatically adjusting the posture into a more correct alignment. When the posture is improved, the stress and strain on the muscles is considerable reduced. Though it may take time for the body to completely heal, the result of correcting the posture is an instantaneous relief of pain.

There are many current therapies that address bad posture, such as chiropractic or physiotherapy. But because these treatments only adjust the body’s position temporarily – at some point after, the body returns to its original bad posture and inevitably the pain returns.

If you have one of these two inherited foot structures that create bad posture and the resulting chronic musculoskeletal pain, permanent relief is accomplished naturally, without drugs, by addressing this common source of pain that originates in your feet.
