Prolo and Shiatsu – The Benefits over Medicine
Prolotherapy and Shiatsu are two very different types of therapy, but what they have in common, is that they both stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Increasingly, people suffering from chronic pain are turning to these alternative therapies for relief because conventional medicine has failed them. The prevailing model of pain management relies heavily on medication with anti-inflammatory, steroid, analgesic and muscle relaxant drugs being commonly prescribed. In most cases these drugs provide only temporary relief, simply covering up or masking the pain without doing anything to resolve the underlying problem.
There is ample evidence that the drugs used to manage pain are not only risky and/or potentially addictive, they actually inhibit the healing process and if used over the long-term can weaken body tissues and worsen the condition that they were prescribed to treat in the first place. Physiotherapy is frequently used in conjunction with drug therapy, but since the drugs inhibit healing, it is often ineffective.Categories: Alternative Medicine, Guest Posts Tags:
