NOVUS MEDICAL DETOX CENTERS, LLC
A REAL TREATMENT FOR PAIN?
By Steve Hayes
Director of Novus Medical Detox Center
PAIN
- Millions of people are suffering from pain.
- Sometimes it is from accidents.
- Sometimes it is a consequence of surgery.
- Sometimes it is caused by an illness.
PAIN TREATMENT
Unfortunately, what passes for "treatment" in many medical clinics is not to address the cause of the pain but to give drugs like OxyContin, the Fentanyl patch, methadone or Vicodin which act in the same manner as anesthesia--merely preventing the person from feeling the pain.
These drugs do not "treat" anything. The actual cause of the pain is not addressed and probably just worsens. The solution from many doctors is to just give more of these drugs to attempt to block the person from feeling the pain.
In fact, as we discussed in Opioids Increasing Pain, many times these opioid drugs just increase the pain and the person finds that the more drugs they take, the more their pain increases.
If the person is taking methadone for pain, they should read Methadone--A Killer, and understand the risks that these drugs are taking, particularly if the pain is increasing.
These drugs are central nervous system depressants, and if you take too much they can cause your heart and lungs to shut down.
THE DRUGS NO LONGER BLOCK THE PAIN
Many people given drugs like OxyContin, the Fentanyl patch, methadone or Vicodin come to Novus because they cannot continue to take the drug and function, but they still have their pain. They see no alternative but to come off the drug or they will have no quality of life.
- Novus is very successful at helping people withdraw from these dangerous and addictive drugs.
- However, if they still have terrible pain, are they going to be able to stay off the painkillers?
- At Novus, we believe that it is our responsibility to try to help our patients get real treatment for any pain they may still have.
A PAIN SOLUTION
At Novus, we actively seek practitioners to help our patients deal with pain. There are two requirements:
- They treat the actual cause of the pain.
- They have proven results.
A large number of our Novus patients who started on these drugs because of pain have experienced great relief when we took them to see Al Meilus.
MEILUS MUSCULAR THERAPY
Al has developed a type of muscular therapy that has achieved impressive results for our patients. On his website, there are testimonials from pro golfers, baseball players, hockey players and many others.
The following is taken from his website at www.meilus.com.
- Meilus Muscular Therapy Method is a revolutionary method of treating injuries, relieving aches and pains, and dramatically improving athletic performance.
- Unlike other therapy methods that usually focus more on relieving the discomfort associated with a muscular disorder, Meilus Muscular Therapy Method takes an engineering approach by fixing the problem.
- What does engineering have to do with pain and sports performance? Everything.
- Our musculoskeletal system is a series of cables (muscles) working to operate a variety of levers (bones).
- When one of the cables shortens, it affects the entire system and causes pain in the joint and in the muscles and tissue surrounding that joint.
The premise is very simple:
- If the muscle is hard, it is shortened.
- If you move against a shortened muscle, it hurts!
- If the muscle is shortened, you have moved the fulcrum of a lever system. Range of motion is lost. Power is lost.
- If the muscle is shortened, it has lactic acid in it. It will be tender to the touch.
- If you move quickly or are pushed quickly against a shortened muscle, you will tear the muscle or dislocate the joint.
How Does Muscular Therapy Work?
- When muscles are overworked or traumatized by injury, they produce waste products such as lactic acid.
- Healthy muscles rid themselves of these chemicals by passing them into the bloodstream.
- Muscles repeatedly overexerted or severely injured begin to lose their natural ability to cleanse themselves.
- The result is a harmful buildup of waste, a sort of slow poisoning of your muscles. This buildup restricts normal blood flow causing muscles to contract and become stiff and achy.
- If ignored long enough, the problem can develop into chronic pain as well as skeletal and neurological disorders.
Meilus Muscular Therapy Method helps unhealthy or exhausted muscles by:
- Ridding the tissue of waste
- Restoring normal blood flow
- Allowing the muscle to relax and lengthen to its normal state.
CONCLUSION
Taking drugs that treat nothing but simply mask the symptoms of pain is not a solution--it is guaranteed route to drug dependence and other complications.
Not only have our patients experienced relief from pain, many of our staff have also visited Meilus and all rave about how much his therapy helped them.
