Chronic Pain Management
| Resources |

Pain just won't let up?

Dr. Flegal provides effective Non-Drug Management of Chronic Pain for many of his clients. Dr. Flegal utilizes a number of therapies, including:

bulletTrigger Point Therapy
bulletMyofascial Release
bulletBreath Work
bulletRelaxation Response Training
bulletCognitive Restructuring
bulletHealing Touch

 

The goal of these natural therapies is to compliment and enhance the effectiveness of traditional therapies. Application of these therapies has been effective in helping to reduce or eliminate clients' dependence on drug and medical therapies.

These therapies have proven helpful for:

bulletChronic Pain
bulletHeadaches
bulletFibromyalgia
bulletChronic Fatigue Syndrome
bulletDiscomfort and pain associated with Chemotherapy

It is wise to be cautious about practices that are new to you, but it is not necessary for most people to remain in pain.*

Upon leaving her first visit with Dr. Flegal, a woman who had suffered chronic pain both from inoperable disk problems in her upper back and Fibromyalgia commented, "Thank you. This is the first time in seven years I have been without pain." This is not too good to be true.

If you have questions, please contact Dr. Flegal through this website or by calling (615) 812-7280 to discuss the potential for using these techniques for your better health. If you are curious about these procedures, it will only take one session to know if they will work for you, a friend, or a loved-one.

 

* As with any procedure, including drug therapies and surgery, there is no guarantee that these therapies will be successful for any individual. Only the high rate of success from working with current and former clients is offered as evidence that these therapies are useful in helping to manage both chronic and acute pain. Consider, however, that dependence upon drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter varieties, merely masks the sensation of pain, allowing the individual's pain threshold to increase and almost guaranteeing that the problem will be back. Why not go directly to the source of the problem and deal with it!
