Natural Solutions for Pain and Inflammation
Amy Rawls, MS, RD, LD, CGN, FMNS
According to the Department of Health and Human Services, the US is in the midst of an unprecedented opioid epidemic. Since 1999, the rate of overdose deaths that involved opioids has quadrupled, with over 165,000 people dying from prescription opioid overdoses alone. And that is just the hard stuff, not taking into account the many complications associated with over the counter options. While pharmaceuticals (OxyContin, Vicodin) and NSAIDs (Aspirin, Aleve, Motrin, Advil) certainly have a place in treatment protocols, they should not be the first choice.
Fortunately, there are natural ways to decrease pain and improve day to day living in your patients without exposing them to harmful side effects and complications. In this webinar Transformation’s own Functional Registered Dietitian will be sharing how you can use diet and other natural approaches to reduce pain and inflammation in your patients.
