Pain is the top reason people see a physician. Besides using over-the-counter products, prescription medications, or seeking surgical correction there are a few alternatives. Acupuncture is gaining respect in the field of pain management. Stretching, strengthening, and relaxation techniques can provide relief to some forms of pain related conditions such as yoga, meditation, and massage therapies. Experienced chiropractic adjustments can also aid some individuals if the situation involves joint misalignment.
