Methods for Decreasing Physical Pain

Pain is the necessary evil the body perpetuates against itself, not to torture it, but to warn the brain an injury has occurred. And, it’s a darn good warning signal too. Who’s going to walk on a broken leg, or allow an open wound to bleed and bleed? Without pain many people would do just that. Pain protects the body from further damage. But, the problem with pain is it is perpetual. There is no turn off switch once the signal has been received. Hence, the demand for pain relief is something 1 out of 5 adult Americans need on a daily basis.
