Integrative Approaches to Pain Management | Product

Pain is one of the leading reasons why Americans turn to complementary and alternative therapies and practices, and the integrative healthcare community has been a tremendous player in ensuring non-pharmacologic approaches to pain management are readily available and included in national healthcare legislation and research initiatives. Through efforts by entities such as the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, a center within the National Institutes of Health, increasing evidence shows that integrative therapies such as nutrition, yoga, massage, acupuncture, and mindfulness-based stress reduction can decrease pain intensity, improve function, and promote better coping with chronic pain.
