Pain management is crucial, as chronic pain affects over 50 million adults in the U.S., costing up to $635 billion annually. Many rely on prescription opioids, which, though effective, can be addictive and cause side effects. Alternative pain relief methods offer holistic approaches: hypnotherapy to tap into the subconscious, chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, essential oils, and yoga for flexibility and relaxation. Massage therapy, sound healing, and grounding (walking barefoot) can also provide relief. Techniques like Kratom (a natural pain reliever), breathing exercises, energy therapies, and anti-inflammatory foods promote healing without relying solely on medication. This insightful class is presented by Dr. Leyla Ali, an expert in alternative and holistic pain management solutions.
