At her naturopathic medicine practice in Fort Lee and Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, empathetic naturopathic doctor and certified nutrition consultant Humaira Quraishi, ND, MS, understands that chronic pain can be exhausting and frustrating.
It’s particularly challenging when conventional approaches to managing your pain fall short. In our practice, we tackle the problem of chronic pain from a unique perspective. We provide drug-free solutions that target the underlying cause of your pain.
For this month’s blog, we’re discussing three ways we can help you manage pain and optimize your health without the use of medications.
Hydrotherapy is a cornerstone of naturopathic medicine. It uses the restorative properties of water to ease pain and promote healing. People with many types of chronic pain respond well to hydrotherapy because it can diminish inflammation, boost circulation, and relieve muscle tension.
We offer several types of hydrotherapy, including:
Hydrotherapy is an ancient healing practice with a large body of evidence behind it. It’s long been used for many types of pain, including back and joint pain.
As a certified nutrition consultant, Dr. Quraishi has a unique ability to help our patients optimize their diet. Although eating healthy certainly has plenty of benefits for whole-person health — including preventing chronic disease and even helping you live longer — its advantages in the battle against chronic pain aren’t as well known.
Dr. Quraishi helps you understand how certain eating patterns can contribute to inflammation and, in turn, chronic pain. We can help you correct nutritional deficiencies, eliminate food sensitivities, and calibrate your diet to maximize its benefits for pain relief and bodywide health.
Herbal medicine offers a gentle yet powerful approach to pain management. While pharmaceuticals often have a long list of side effects, herbs can provide natural relief with fewer risks.
With her training in Eastern and Western herbal traditions, Dr. Quraishi tailors treatment for every patient.
There are endless ways to use and combine herbs based on individual needs. Every herb works uniquely within your body, with some herbs most effective for pain including those with natural analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and healing properties.
If avoiding conventional pain medicine and taking a natural approach sounds good to you, we’re here to help you discover a holistic approach that focuses on long-term pain relief and overall wellness. You don’t have to depend on medication or live with the side effects any longer.
