The management of chronic pain is one ofSera Labs CBD Oil Reviews the most widespread and difficult challenges facing health care professionals. Most sufferers believe there is a physical cause for their problem even though sometimes the cause isn't found. They tend to regard any psychological or spiritual approach with scepticism. Actually, it is probably true that such practices cannot get rid of pain.
However there is evidence that some non-physical interventions can lower the subjective distress associated with the hurting body. When medicine or surgery fail, what then can alleviate the suffering? Why should we believe that psychological or spiritual procedures might help with chronic pain?
Distraction from chronic pain The potential value of distraction from pain is not difficult to accept. This may be part of the reason why relaxation training has been widely used. The relaxation procedure may distract attention away from very unpleasant sensations as well as induce less tension in the body. One theory is that, where possible, once the sufferer is engaged in normal daily activities, attention to the pain sensations will be reduced and hence pain intensity will diminish.
Two arrows of chronic pain Distraction however can be taken too far. This is so according to another helpful approach, that of mindfulness. The Buddha said that suffering is part of life. It is inevitable because we are living in a physical world in a body prone to death and disease. However, when someone has pain they can get upset, they worry and feel distraught. They resent the physical pain and constantly want to get away from it. They thus have a mental pain in addition to the physical one. It's as if they are hurt by an arrow and then immediately afterwards by a second arrow and they experience the pain of two arrows. Craving for relief and distraction from the pain starts to fill their mind. So they do unnecessary shopping or house cleaning, restlessly surf the internet, or make endless cups of tea. But as has been pointed out:
"Continually trying to block out pain can be kept up for a while but it is very tiring and eventually you feel exhausted. Now you swing to the other extreme and collapse feeling overwhelmed. As the pain dominates your experience you'll probably lose perspective and forget there's anything in life apart from pain."
