100+ Ways To Reduce Pain Naturally

Chronic pain patients often lose hope. Their physicians often have little to offer beyond prescription drugs and invasive procedures, and often these don’t help, don’t help enough or have unacceptable risks or side effects. 

There’s a world of options out there that most pain patients never consider. These include the ridiculously simple (cherries, tennis ball massage) to the most advanced technologies (stem cell therapy) and much in between.

I’ve compiled a list of more than 100 ways to heal pain naturally. Some are brand name products (indicated with an asterisk*), others are more general categories of products and services. How many of these have you heard of? How many have you tried? Do you have some to add to the list?
