3. Natural Pain Relievers

Herbal remedies can be much more effective than you may initially think. Instead of chemical-based pain medication, reach for natural medicine.

Here are just a few natural ingredients to look for to achieve holistic relief:

• Essential Oils
  Essential oils are naturally derived from plants to capture their concentrated smell, flavor, and chemical properties. These oils can be ingested in supplements and applied topically through creams and sprays to stimulate various physical and nerve-related responses, such as pain relief, inflammation reduction, and calming sensations. For topical relief from muscle aches and pain, try the anti-inflammatory oils Frankincense, Bergamot, and Peppermint in their proper dilutions.
• HEMP 
  The industrial hemp plant is known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective characteristics. It is used to support the reduction of musculoskeletal pain and support anti-inflammatory response in the body through its interactions with the endocannabinoid system, help you to find natural relief.
• Lidocaine and Menthol
  Lidocaine and menthol can be used topically to relieve pain. Lidocaine is fast-acting and relieves sore muscles and nerve pain with ease. Menthol is known for providing a cooling sensation on the skin and it works on the pain receptors in the body to help relieve pain.
• PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide)
  PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide)is a natural pain reliever, natural anti-inflammatory, homeostasis regulator, and muscle recovery support. This substance occurs naturally in the body and is utilized in dietary supplements and creams for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties as it acts on the endocannabinoid system.

Introducing Well Theory by Meredith Warner, MD

At Well Theory, we are dedicated to providing you with a way to improve your overall health and reduce your pain – safely and naturally. We believe in helping you build a better lifestyle, holistically and with the guidance of an orthopedic surgeon’s expertise.

In her years of clinical practice, Dr. Warner has often found that in certain cases, natural alternatives to heavy pharmaceuticals and invasive procedures can be just as successful.

As an orthopedic surgeon, she has to consider the context of the condition she’s treating – how it affects other parts of the musculoskeletal system, and how the treatment will change her patient’s lifestyle. This is why she prefers gentle therapies whenever they can be utilized because while in many cases they are as effective as mainstream medicine, their impact on the body tends to be less jarring.

With this in mind, Dr. Warner founded Well Theory.

The Well Theory, also developed by Dr. Warner, is a line of natural supplements, creams, and sprays that are designed to fit easily into your day to relieve pain without the need for heavy chemicals; all from a source you can trust.

Dr. Meredith Warner has made the search for powerful natural medicine that incorporates these natural ingredients easy for you with The Well Theory.

While The Well Theory has a full line of products, foot pain relief is easy with a foot cream designed exclusively for use with The Healing Sole. Simply massage the cream into the area you are experiencing pain and then slip on The Healing Sole to alleviate pain at any time of day.

4. Physical Therapy

In her private practice, Warner Orthopedics & Wellness, Dr. Warner advocates for physical therapy as an effective means of natural pain relief when natural supplements are not enough. Dr. Warner has spoken many times about the dangers of opioids and how physical therapy is usually as effective, if not more effective, for relieving pain.

Physical therapy helps to alleviate pain from a number of conditions. Exercises can be customized to your individual needs in order to increase your health, wellness, and range of motion.

How To Best Use Natural Remedies

Natural remedies fit easily into your daily routine. Creams, supplements, supportive footwear, and at-home stretches go a long way in providing you with relief without the need for costly surgical or invasive methods of relief.

That being said, everyone’s case is different. If you do not find relief from these natural treatments for plantar fasciitis, consult with your physician to see what would be the best method of relief for you. If you believe that injections and surgery are the way to go, consult with your physician about that as well.
