Hydrotherapy


Hydrotherapy is a modality in alternative medicine, oc- cupational therapy and physiotherapy that involves the use of water internally and externally for treatment of various diseases and conditions including pain. Common types of hydrotherapy include warm water baths, steam baths, sitz baths, sauna, com- presses, wraps, contrast hydrotherapy and pool hydrotherapy. Water therapy has been used for centuries in rehabilitation and holistic medicine and has the ability to ease infl ammation and stimulate circulation.


Manipulation


Manipulation is the application of pressure to a person's spine or other parts of their body by a qualifi ed healthcare pro- vider. Manipulation is commonly used to alleviate spinal nerve pressure and reduce muscle spasms. The goals of manipulation are to increase range of motion, reduce nerve irritability and improve overall function.


Lifestyle Modifi cations


Experts say a diet overhaul can have a dramatic effect on those suffering from chronic pain and a comprehensive diet plan should be part of such patients’ treatment plans. The ideal diet for chronic pain sufferers would be an anti-infl ammatory diet due to the effect of infl ammation levels on pain. The main compo- nents of an anti-infl ammatory diet are consume a minimum of 8 servings of fresh vegetables/fruit daily, restrict dairy/grains, and avoid red meat. Also, daily exercise, such as walking, swimming or cycling, can optimize the effects of an anti-infl ammatory diet. The combination of an anti-infl ammatory diet and an exercise regimen may also encourage weight loss, which is crucial as obesity is highly infl ammatory.
