Are you delaying your decision to undergo therapy for your nerve issues?

Hidden Costs of Not Investing in therapy for NEUROPATHY:

Delaying or avoiding the start of a light therapy program due to the upfront cost may seem practical in the short term. But long term, it’s financially counterproductive. Here’s why:

Missed Work & Reduced Productivity: Chronic pain interferes with employment. Lost wages due to reduced hours or early retirement can dwarf the cost of any care program.

Doctor & Specialist Visits: Ongoing medication management requires frequent appointments to primary care physicians, neurologists, pain specialists, etc. These visits add up in terms of both time and money. They may also overwhelm in-demand practitioners.

Co-morbid Conditions: Poorly managed neuropathy can lead to mobility issues, falls, and even depression. These conditions carry additional medical costs and the potential for more prescriptions.

Quality of Life: While harder to quantify, the ability to sleep through the night, walk without fear, or enjoy pain-free moments with family is invaluable. And proper infrared therapy, by addressing the underlying issue, may offer these benefits when coupled with pharmaceuticals.

IT IS NOT JUST IN YOUR HEAD! STRESS INCREASES CHANCES OF CHRONIC PAIN.

According to a 2021 study Trusted Source, chronic stress eventually leads to cortisol dysfunction as well as problems with the body’s inflammatory response. Cortisol and inflammation problems lead to oxidative stress, free radical damage, cellular injury or aging, and tissue degeneration, all of which can lead to chronic pain.

Reducing stress on the spine and surrounding tissues can make a big difference in chronic pain issues. Let us know if you want to consult one of our clinics to find out how we may be able to reduce the stress on your body!

IT MIGHT NOT BE an arm issue or carpel tunnel!

Often times pain, tingling or numbness shooting in the arm or hand can be misdiagnosed as an arm issue or even carpel tunnel. What if I told you that it is possible that this can be coming from the nerves in your neck?

The nerves of the neck (cervical spine) control the entire arm in feeling and function. The nerve is like the power cord for the arm.

The nerves of the cervical spine, when irritated, inflamed or compressed, can produce radiating symptoms into the arm or hand or even the scapula! If it is coming from the neck then no amount of therapy on the arm, hand or mid back will fix the problem.

At Advanced Pain Centres we address the root cause of the pain and have equipment and protocols that have already helped thousands with this condition.

Don't suffer with this pain any longer!

Sciatic pain can be debilitating. Most commonly, this condition is a slow developing or degenerative condition that can "sneak" up on you. Other times it comes suddenly from a fall, injury or accident.

No matter how it manifests, it is important to address the root cause. Medications and injections often offer temporary relief but if the cause is not addressed, pain can return and, in some cases, come back worse.

Let us at Advanced Pain Centres look over your case and uncover the root of the problem. We have been helping people naturally with this condition for over 20 years here in Singapore. You can read all about our success stories on our Google reviews!

We want you to be our next success story and get you back to normal life again.

Thinking about spinal surgery?

When it comes to your spine, you should always think twice before opting for surgery.

Spine surgeries are serious procedures with various associated risks, making them a last resort when treating spine pain.

Although some surgeries cannot be prevented (it is important to have as an option in these cases), unnecessary spine surgeries can be costly and provide little to no benefit – in some cases resulting in even more pain and discomfort.

With the proper guidance from healthcare professionals, many spinal issues can be avoided through preventive measures like exercise and lifestyle changes – so make sure to explore all your options before jumping straight into surgery!

Inflammation and back pain:

When you have acute inflammation from an injury, it is a healthy response from the body. Often though, it can stay in an area when it has recurrent irritation or micro injuries (injuries that you don't even know are happening from simple movements). This can create a lasting issue that can erode the joint.

Inflammation can cause back pain by increasing friction in the joints of the spine. This can lead to pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints.

What can you do?

- Make sure things are in alignment. If the joints are out of alignment, it will potentially create more friction. Chiropractic adjustments to the spine are very beneficial for this.

- Ice the area on and off for 15 minutes at a time. Especially after activities. Ice is a powerful, natural anti-inflammatory.

- Rest. Giving the area of inflammation ample time to heal without continuing to re-injure is key to healthy tissue repair.

of life is vital to overall health. Here is a study on the effects.

According to the study, "Low back pain has a considerable psychological impact on patients and an increased prevalence of depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances compared with healthy people."

Background: In primary healthcare settings, chronic low back pain (cLBP) is a widespread health issue with a great global impact. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was performed on 918 adults attending primary healthcare settings in ...
