Chronic Pain
Chronic pain may be caused by inflammation or dysfunctional nerves that typically persist for weeks or more. Health Traditions offers proven and highly effective natural treatment plans for chronic pains.
Can you answer yes to either of these two questions?
Are your aches-pains restricting your daily life and keeping you from enjoying the things that you love?
If you answered yes, We understand how you feel and we can help
We awaken your body’s natural healing system
We get to the root cause of your chronic pain
Despite what you have been lead to believe, you are not “broken.” It is possible to take control of and resolve your chronic pain permanently.
Your body never forgot how to heal itself, it just needs proper support. Your body makes its own internal medicines to fix chronic pains on its own, and our treatments help it do just that.
Our patients often see improvement in symptoms within weeks, not months or years.

Common Questions
Some of the most frequently asked questions we receive at Health Traditions regarding chronic pain treatments
How long does it take to see results?
People often feel a shift after the very first treatment and significant results often begin to show after just a few weeks. Acupuncture is a very powerful way to stimulate endorphin release, which is the most powerful pain-killing substance the body makes. The nutritional guidelines and herbal medicine accelerate this process.
What are my chances of success?
Results vary, of course. That being said, over 90% of our patients report a significant reduction in their chronic pain within a few weeks. However, your situation is unique and once we meet with you we will be able to give you our best estimate of time and prognosis of outcome.
Will I have to keep coming to appointments forever?
The vast majority of patients don’t need long- term maintenance. Once their condition is resolved, it stays that way.
Will I have to do some kind of horrible, super-restrictive detox or elimination diet?
Absolutely not. Our program is all about setting you up to succeed. We find the 2 or 3 “key leverage points” in your diet and work on those. No impossible to follow meal plans or detoxes here.
Will I be taking herbal medicine forever?
Not at all. The majority of our patients start with herbal medicine and are slowly tapered off of them to maximize and sustain real results.
