The type of pain being treated determines the mechanism of action I will take specifically for you.

The two basic types of pain are musculoskeletal pain and neurological pain.

​

Musculoskeletal Pain Treatment

Musculoskeletal pain is the most common and usually the result of poor posture, poor circulation, repeated motions, aging and/ or the result of an injury from sports, work accidents. auto accidents or surgery. Musculo pain is usually associated with damage to soft tissue such as muscles, tendons and cartilage and can happen in any part of the body with the neck, back, hips and joints being the most commonly affected areas. Skeletal pain is usually associated with one of the above joints and involves the break down of structural bone matter. This usually affects the surrounding soft tissue and can therefore cause associated musculo pain.

​

Neurological Pain Treatment

Neurological pain is commonly caused by poorly nourished nerves which most commonly lead to migraines, arthritis, and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Stress due to emotional excesses from family, relationships and careers may also be contributing factors. Damaged soft tissue and skeletal structures can also lead to neurological pain
