Check Out Our New July 2010 News and Research Posts on Addiction-Free.com
Below are the titles and brief intros for our July Addiction-Free Pain Management® Website News and Research Page. Each month we post three new topics and archive the existing ones by the year it was posted. If you want to read the entire three posts please go to our News and Research Page.
Chronic Pain Management Using Mindfulness Meditation
What does meditation have to do with chronic pain management? I often get this question when my patients see this on a list I give them of potential non-medication based intervention suggestions. I begin answering by first sharing a definition of meditation with them.
Laser Therapy for Chronic Pain Management
One common request we get is about what can be done for Fibromyalgia. Many people have been taking opiates for this condition and they either don’t like the side effects or are afraid of becoming dependent or even addicted. A fairly new option for Fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions may be of interest—Infrared Laser Therapy.
Neuropathic Chronic Pain Management
If you are living with neuropathic pain like I am you know that the treatment can be frustrating and often ineffective. While acute short-term pain is usually easy to manage and many chronic pain conditions can be treated effectively, neuropathic pain is often a major treatment challenge for both patients and their health care providers.
If you’d like to receive training for helping people with chronic pain and coexisting disorders, including addiction, I’m very excited to announce we are presenting my Addiction-Free Pain Management® Certification Training in Sacramento on August 5-7, 2010.
