Stuck at home and stuck in pain? Social distancing has created a gap in treatment options when it comes to chronic pain. Many of us are sufferingas a result. Approximately 1.5 billion people worldwide suffer from chronic and debilitating pain; imagine how many appointments for pain management have been canceled – we’d be willing to guess it’s in the millions!
But just because you can’t make it to your doctor’s office, you don’t have to live with the inflammation, aches, and discomfort of chronic pain. There are viable at-home treatment options that require no appointment, no traveling, and no waiting.
Treat What Ails You
The biggest barrier to pain management at home is knowing what to treat. We want to stress that at-home pain management is not and never will be a replacement for consulting with a qualified health provider. We always encourage you to confer with experts when seeking a diagnosis.
However, once you have a diagnosis, you’ve won half the battle. If you’re aware of the root of your chronic pain, treating it at home is always appropriate as long as you are using safe and natural treatment methods.
Don’t get #Docblocked
We discussed some of the roadblocks patients come across when seeking treatment for chronic pain in our blog, Are Your Pain Management Doctors Giving You “Doc Block”? Traditionally Doc Block is when patients run into issues with health care providers not taking their pain seriously and refusing to look deeper into the root of said pain. It can be so frustrating and defeating when you feel like no one is taking you seriously when you reach out for help, and unfortunately, we hear these types of stories time and time again.
But these days, we are seeing a whole new iteration of #docblock going on. In this current global pandemic environment, patients have little to no control over what is causing this interruption in treatment.
How social distancing and COVID-19 are affecting patients’ access to health care:
- Doctor’s office closures.
- Lack of access to telehealth.
- Fear of exposure to the virus preventing elderly and immunocompromised patients from seeking help, even when offices are operational.
- Difficulty in scheduling appointments, even in situations where offices are operational.
To overcome the challenges facing you today, it’s essential to understand that you can take treatment into your own hands.

Heat
Applying heat will work to relax muscles and decrease the sensation of pain. Heat is known to produce an analgesic effect, altering how your brain processes the pain you are sensing. Moist heat in the form of baths, showers, and hot packstends to work more effectively. Who doesn’t love a nice relaxing bath at the end of the day?
Cold
Cold therapy, or cryotherapy, works by restricting blood flow to an affected area while reducing nerve activity. The restriction of blood flow will decrease pain-causing inflammation. You can use an ice pack or jump into a cold shower or bath to feel the anti-inflammatory effects of cryotherapy. Feel the invigoration and relief of cold therapy!

Microcurrent-The Last Word in at Home Pain Relief
Microcurrent therapy is currently the most powerful and effective natural pain treatment option we advocate for – and the “secret sauce” of The Hache Protocol™. When we call this treatment powerful, we are talking about results. This gentle treatment is pain-free, has no recovery period, and no side effects.
Can you imagine removing the limitations that chronic pain is putting on your life? Looking to get back to who you were before inflammation and pain took the reins? Microcurrent is the answer!
Patients love microcurrent therapy because of its ability to treat the root of the problem, stopping pain in its tracks.
The problem with conventional pain treatments is that they are designed to mask your pain, not eliminate it. With the help of a microcurrent device like the Avazzia Pro Sport III or the Avazzia Life Evolution, you can harness the power of body-friendly frequencies to gently correct intercellular communication and promote profound healing.
