3 Key Targets of Treatment of Difficult Pain

The Pain Relief Clinic uses a comprehensive biomedical approach to help patients with their conditions.

We take into account each patient's specific underlying medical condition and select the most appropriate combination of available medical technologies.

1) Healing Damaged Tissue

As pain is often the result of soft tissue damage, it is often necessary to boost the body's ability to heal for long term results. Possible ways to achieve this include:

• Collagen Hydrolysate is produced through the enzymatic hydrolysis of collagenous tissue and contains amino acids such as glycine and proline. When taken as an oral supplement, collagen hydrolysate has been shown to be absorbed, accumulate in joint cartilage, and stimulates the activity of chondrocytes. [Evidence]

• Shockwave Therapy is an internationally established method of treating pain and inflammation through stimulating tissue repair. Employing high energy acoustic waves, shockwave induces new blood vessel growth and tissue regeneration, thereby treating many pain conditions.[Evidence]

2) Reducing Inflammation

Inflammatory damage is one of the main mechanisms of pain and reducing inflammation is a good way to help patients quickly reduce pain and discomfort. Possible ways to achieve this include:

• Nutritional Supplementation with herbal anti-oxidants have been shown to improve joint health naturally and safely. [Evidence]

• Radiofrequency is an externally applied, non-invasive treatment. It uses patented long wave radio frequencies to create intense tissue stimulation. [Evidence]

• Nanotechnology Gels are made up of millions of phospholipids, which travel through the skin and tissue upon application, the gel then coats the joint with a layer of protective lubricant, reducing frictional damage. [Evidence]

3) Relieving Mechanical and Nerve Pressure

Ongoing physical injury and mechanical pressure on the nerves is a very significant cause of persistent pain, numbness and weakness. Possible treatment options include:

• Spinal Decompression Therapy is an FDA cleared, non-surgical treatment that has an amazingly high success rate for neck and back pain. It is designed to unload the spinal disc to provide very effective relief of pain and numbness in the back, neck, legs, and arms. [Evidence]
• Joint Mobilization involves careful use of skilled graded forces to move a joint in a desired direction. This form of physical therapy is usually used to improve joint motion and normalize function by improving joint nutrient supply. It also help to control pain and relieve muscle tension. [Evidence]
