- Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is defined as pain that lasts longer than 12 weeks. It may arise from injuries, nerve damage, autoimmune diseases, or unknown causes. Unlike acute pain, it persists even after the underlying condition has healed.
- Arthritis
Arthritis is an umbrella term for joint inflammation, stiffness, and pain. The two most common types are:
- Osteoarthritis (OA): A degenerative condition caused by wear and tear of the joints.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): An autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks joint tissues.
Both forms can cause long-term pain, swelling, and reduced mobility—often leading patients to rely on painkillers or steroids for relief.
Why Choose Homeopathy for Pain and Arthritis?
Holistic & Personalized
Homeopathy addresses the root cause of chronic pain, considering the physical symptoms, emotional well-being, and personal history of the individual. This personalized approach leads to deeper, more lasting healing.
Safe & Natural
Homeopathic remedies are made from natural substances in ultra-diluted forms, making them non-toxic and free from side effects—even with long-term use.
Gentle Yet Effective
Rather than suppressing pain, homeopathy stimulates the body’s innate healing response. This makes it particularly effective for chronic conditions like arthritis that require ongoing management.
