TYPES OF TREATMENTS
MEDICAL
Oral Prescription Drugs:
In 2015–2018, 10.7% of U.S. adults used one or more prescription pain medications in the past 30 days (Figure 1). Use increased with age, from 5.4% among adults aged 20–39 to 12.7% for those aged 40–59 to 15.1% for those aged 60 and over. More than 131 million people — 66 percent of all adults in the United States — use prescription drugs. Utilization is particularly high for older people and those with chronic conditions.
Injection of Prescription Drugs or “Treatments”:
Steroid injections, also called corticosteroid injections, are anti-inflammatory medicines used to treat a range of conditions.
These injections deliver an anesthetic close to particular nerves, in an effort to interrupt nerve signals before they can get to the brain, where they would register as pain.
Surgery:
However, ineffective postoperative pain relief still remains a common problem in health care, and it is estimated that approximately 50%-75% of patients have insufficient pain relief postoperatively.
Pain is probably the most common complaint that surgery patients have in the days and sometimes weeks following surgery. Pain is to be expected and can be managed with medication, but an expectation of no pain after a procedure is likely not realistic.
HOLISTIC
Why is it popular? Western holistic therapy practices took off in the 1960s in response to anxiety about medicine’s focus on drug-related treatment and its failure to view patients as people, rather than bits of bodies to be prodded and examined.
According to a new nationwide government survey, 36 percent of U.S. adults aged 18 years and over use some form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).
Alternative therapies have become increasingly popular. Half the global population use some form of alternative medicine annually and, as they typically exist outside of Government-backed healthcare systems, pay directly for such services.

Treat the Origin Naturally with Herbs
Approximately 35% (9194) of respondents reported their current use of herbal medicine. Respondents born before 1946 reported higher use of herbal medicine than other age groups although this finding was not statistically significant when adjusted for other factors.

Chronic pain can interfere with your daily activities, such as working, having a social life and taking care of yourself or others. It can lead to depression, anxiety and trouble sleeping, which can make your pain worse. This response creates a cycle that’s difficult to break.
Western herbalism originated in Ancient Greece and Rome, then spread to Europe, then North and South America. Hippocrates was known as the father of medicine in 4th century B.C. and was the first one to encourage self-healing of the body.
