You wake up and are immediately confronted with the pain that has become your constant companion. You’ve tried everything – pain pills, injections, maybe even surgery. Yet the pain lingers, a relentless reminder that something isn’t right. No clear answers, no lasting relief. You’re starting to wonder: Is it all in my head?
This is the life of living with chronic pain.
Are you tired of being told by Western doctors that there’s nothing more they can do?
Are you frustrated with the side effects of medications that only seem to be masking your symptoms?
Are you longing for a life where pain doesn’t dictate your every move?
I get it. I’ve been there. I struggled for years with chronic health issues and having no answers. It’s why I became a naturopathic doctor.
Early in my career, I had a patient who came to me with debilitating chronic pain. He’d seen countless doctors and tried every treatment imaginable, but nothing provided lasting relief. He was at his wit’s end, convinced he was destined to live this way forever.
We started digging deeper, looking beyond the surface symptoms. The results of our functional testing were surprising: food sensitivities. Simple dietary changes made a world of difference. His pain started to subside, his energy levels improved, and he finally felt like he was reclaiming his life.
Chronic pain is often a complex puzzle, and the solution isn’t always what you expect. That’s where a functional approach to health care comes in.
At Colorado Natural Medicine & Acupuncture, we understand pain isn’t only a physical sensation. It’s an intricate interplay of physical, emotional, and environmental factors. We don’t just treat the pain; we address the root causes and are here to support you every step of the way.
Want to know one of the tools we use to transform a life lived with chronic pain? Massage therapy. It isn’t just a luxury; it’s a therapeutic modality that can significantly reduce pain, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. It can help release muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and improve mood.
Kim Masia, our Licensed Massage Therapist, Stretch Coach, and Reiki Master Teacher, offers a comprehensive approach to healing through a diverse range of modalities, including Swedish, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, and Sports Massage, alongside specialized techniques like Hot Bamboo, Cupping, Assisted Stretching, and Reiki.
Her restorative, holistic bodywork focuses on reconnecting clients with their body’s innate wisdom, releasing tension, and restoring physical and emotional balance.
By integrating mindful touch, breathing techniques, and stretching practices, Kim empowers clients to tap into their self-healing abilities and achieve greater well-being. Her approach is designed to make you feel more centered, revitalized, and in control of managing your chronic pain.
Here’s how massage can help:
- Pain Relief: Massage can reduce muscle tension, alleviate trigger points, and decrease pain signals.
- Improved Circulation: Massage promotes blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing waste products.
- Stress Reduction: Massage can reduce cortisol levels, promote relaxation, and reduce the perception of pain.
- Enhanced Mobility: Massage can improve flexibility and range of motion, allowing you to move more freely.
