Some causes of chronic pain are obvious. Other causes can be less obvious to an untrained eye.

The obvious causes of chronic pain may come from an old injury. This common condition can result in arthritis many years later.

A less obvious cause of chronic pain, but quite common, is chronic inflammation.

Pain is a healthy message from your body that you need to take heed, that something is wrong. For example, if it is from an injury, that you need to limit your use of the affected part while it heals.

A chronic pain may be a message that you need to radically change something important in your life. For example, your diet, your lifestyle, your job, your living arrangements.

Period pain for a woman could indicate she is not doing well on the synthetic hormones she is taking.

One size definitely doesn’t fit all.

An injury or a bite may seem accidental, but the truth is that you may be prone to them. This indicates, to a good homeopath, a weakness that needs addressing. Perhaps you are stressed by too much to do and rush around, not heeding what is around. Perhaps it is in your nature.

Chronic pain can be a result form a poor diet, which is so common today. A poor diet can never nourish your body. And without good nourishment, it is impossible to function well. It leads to chronic inflammation. In time, THAT leads to chronic pain and illnesses.

Menstrual cramps, headaches, menopausal hot flushes/flashes can be a result of the synthetic hormones that women so commonly take. Their impact is vast and harmful, often without an immediate effect. They can be insidious.

Acute conditions and fevers, especially in childhood, are a healthy way the immune system gets in some practice, to ensure its vitality later in life. Independent research shows that chronic disease, including cancer, is much more common in adults who received suppressive medical drugs when they had childhood fevers.

This means children should be allowed to experience the common and mild childhood diseases without intervention, but with careful observation.

Rarely can a finger be pointed to a single cause. The body always tries so hard to remain healthy within the framework it has at its disposal. The more you try to balance the important areas of life, the better your health will be, the less pain you will experience.

Probably most holistic practitioners agree that the important areas include:

• the right diet (normal western diets can cause chronic inflammation)
• exercise - walking is good, as is yoga, tai chi, qigong
• avoid stress, wherever that is - isolate it and take proactive measures
• take time to “smell the roses” - connect with Nature, learn to meditate
• learn what harms you and avoid that - chemicals in your food, cleaning and personal health products, garden, EMF and radiation
• get enough sleep - avoid screens and mobile/cell phones in the bedroom
• use holistic health care, such as homeopathy

Make informed choices that suit you. Spend time doing your own research.

Homeopathic treatment is a natural modality of health care. It supports your body's best efforts to heal itself. Good treatment  targets the cause of pain, not only leading to fast resolution, but also reducing your tendency to the problem, as well as helping restore your immune system to how it should be.

Homeopathy can help with fever, without suppressing the immune system; in fact quite the opposite as homeopathy works by strengthening a struggling immunity.

All these different scenarios, as well as a plethora of other conditions, can be helped with good homeopathic treatment. They are all different, just as each patient is different. They all need careful consideration.

Good homeopathic treatment takes into consideration when the pain started and the cause. It also considers the unique and personal symptoms you are expressing. It is different for everyone.

Because there are various causes of chronic pain, each needs to be examined so you experience the best outcome. Some you can do yourself, such as the diet. Some you may need help with, such as with homeopathic treatment.
