Holistic Help for Chronic Pain

Perhaps nothing in all of human experience disrupts life more than chronic pain. When you hurt, you want effective and consistent relief—without dampening your ability to think, act and move well.

Fortunately, holistic and integrative therapies offer a wealth of traditional and evidence-based, non-invasive options for dealing with chronic pain. At Sutter’s Institute for Health & Healing and some other locations, physicians use thorough integrative consultations, nutritional assessments, and personalized lab tests to create a holistic picture of your condition, habits and ongoing needs.

We work with you to develop a personalized plan to reduce or eliminate your pain, employing such therapies as acupuncture, chiropractic and therapeutic massage, guided imagery, and more, so you can get back to work and enjoying the things you love.

We treat chronic pain related to:

  • Arthritis
  • Back and neck injuries or conditions
  • Cancer
  • Fatigue 
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Headaches and migraines
