The Alternative Pain Treatment Directory is the “go-to” website for chronic pain patients to find relief. This website includes information on alternative pain management, natural remedies for pain, inspirational healing stories, provider listings and innovative products for safe and effective pain relief.
Don't let your doctor talk you into unnecessary surgery, invasive medical procedures or dangerous drugs to treat your pain. There are many options for chronic pain treatment and opioid substitutes that are safer and more effective that can provide more enduring relief. Find acute and chronic pain relief today!
Many of our listed providers have experienced chronic pain themselves and their own healing experience has motivated them to help others, including our founder and CEO, Cindy Perlin. Whether or not they’ve experienced chronic pain themselves, you will find that our providers are dedicated to getting to the root of your problem and will be more empathic and caring than is generally true of conventional healthcare providers.
Some options for alternative pain treatment may seem very familiar to you, such as chiropractic treatment, physical therapy, acupuncture or massage, but you may not have all the information you need to decide whether it’s worth trying those therapies or which providers to select. There are other natural remedies for pain you may not have heard of such as biofeedback, neurofeedback, low-level laser therapy, kratom, or PEMF that may be of significant benefit. This website provides the information you need to find the right therapy for you!
An under utilized and powerful alternative pain treatment is mind/body medicine. You may be dismissive of mind/body interventions because the pain isn’t all in your head, but do you know the real deal on why relaxation training or psychotherapy can help your pain? Trauma and chronic stress can be the root cause of many physical illnesses, including chronic pain, because they cause chronic overarousal that affects every body system. Chronic pain also causes significant emotional distress that in and of itself can increase and prolong pain. Either way, psychological interventions can make a huge difference in your pain levels. This is the place to learn more.
Alternative pain management can also include many self-help tools that you can find in our products section. Self-massage tools, electrical stimulation therapies, homeopathic remedies, herbs and other supplements, opioid alternatives, and much more. Recommended books on alternative pain therapy are also in our products section.
Above all, do not give up on your ability to get pain relief or even recover from your pain completely. It often takes patients many years to find treatments that provide effective pain relief. This website can speed up the process of finding effective help by providing information on all the safe and effective chronic pain therapy options in one place, as well as resources such as providers, opioid substitutes, and other products.
