Today Alex and I discussed chronic pain with a few callers.. A few thoughts on pain:
1 in 5 Australians have chronic pain at some stage in their lives, so pain management is a huge challenge for many health professionals. Pain can come from so many sources, and is often linked to emotional pain and traumas in our lives: deaths of a loved one, an operation, a nasty viral infection, financial difficulties. Neck and shoulder pain, for example, is notoriously worse when someone is stressed. Eventually this can lead to chronic pain for which medical science has no answers for other than stronger and stronger drug therapies.
Natural pain management works to reduce irritation to the nerves; regenerate the areas which are degenerating and re-mineralise the body. This combination helps to reduce acidity, reduce pain and increase longevity. Drug pain management suppresses the symptoms allowing nerve damage, acidity and degeneration to continue.
New Leaf Natural Therapies has many treatments for pain management: naturopathic supplements; frequency specific microcurrent; remedial massage; infrared saunas; structural kinesiology and acupuncture. It’s time to get to the cause of health problems, not just suppress them!

One of the most common conditions we see in people over 40 is gut pain… reflux, heartburn and acid problems are huge. Unfortunately it means that many of them are taking drugs which settle down the reflux or heartburn, but also have many unfortunate ’side effects’. Not side effects in the usual sense of the word, but consequences of long-term health.
- Somac, nexium & losec (& other similar meds) stop the acid which causes reflux, heartburn & indigestion. It also stops the ‘good acid’ released from the parietal cells which help to digest proteins.
- This means that long term our body has a hard time building muscle mass. This leads to tiredness and lethargy since our thyroid hormones are converted in the muscle mass and our muscle cells give us the largest amount of energy of any cells in our body. If we have low muscle mass, we struggle getting plenty of energy.
- It takes some time to get the gut working well. There are three stages to the process of getting the gut working well:
- symptomatic relief: settle the acid reflux and indigestion with supplements that ‘quench’ the acid without shutting down the parietal cells long term.
- heal the gut lining: most of the time with acid reflux and indigestion there is a ‘leaky gut’ or tiny ulcerations even if the ‘endoscopy’ says everything is okay. This means that if we give supplements that help to digest proteins it increases ‘good acid’ which will cause pain, so we need to heal the gut lining BEFORE giving supplements to help the actual digestion; and
- get the digestion working properly. We use enzymes and supplements which help the digestion of the gut, getting the parietal cells working correctly and starting the process of having the food we eat broken down again.
By the time we have indigestion, reflux & heartburn our gut hasn’t been working for quite some time. It doesn’t happen overnight, and it takes some time to correct. Doctors don’t mention to us that there is ‘good acid’ and ‘bad acid’. Many practitioners don’t see the link, and therefore don’t get good results with gut issues.
Take time to get your gut right. It takes time, but it’s worth it! Gut issues cause chronic disease: cancer; diabetes; depression; food sensitivities; immune problems; allergies and chronic pain.

Frequency Specific Microcurrent, as used by therapists Madonna Guy ND & Jacqueline Dekoke ND, is a technology which utilises specific frequencies to target particular areas of the body. It can be used to break down calcification of joints, inflammation of scar tissue and also heal areas which are weakened: weak tendons & ligaments; discs in the spine; fractured bones etc.
You may have heard of TENS machines, as used by physios – these target muscles, making them relax & contract. The Frequency Specific Microcurrent equipment has the ability to to target a hundred different body parts… There are processes for new injuries, old injuries, removal of toxins and anesthetics, removal of chemotherapy and radiation toxins after cancer therapy (even years later these toxins lurk in the tissues of the body), they stay in the system and degenerate joints and bones, creating many health issues.
When New Leaf Natural Therapies runs an FSM treatment on a client, say for pain relief, our preference is to use 2 machines simultaneously. This way we can use an automated programme on one machine for a particular pain protocol, and target specific areas on the body on the 2nd machine, thereby doubling the benefits and fewer treatments are necessary to heal the area. It is said that an hour on the FSM equipment is equivalent to about 5 hours of massage therapy.
Getting the most out of an FSM treatment: the body should be hydrated. Clients should drink plenty of water before, during and after a treatment. Lots of acids are released from the body throughout a session of FSM. We also recommend natural anti-inflammatory supplements throughout the process so that the body heals faster and treatments are longer lasting.
This treatment can be used for any pain relief: fibromyalgia; chronic spinal pain, disc pain, muscular aches and pains; frozen shoulder; new injuries or old. Give us a call and see if we can help you!

Infrared Saunas: Our saunas detoxify instantly it is turned on, it doesn’t wait for you to heat up before working. We deliberately chose non-toxic saunas (many are lacquered which makes them toxic when heated); we use organic towels (so you’re not breathing in toxins in our clinic) and we give you a meditation CD or music to listen to. It’s amazing how fast 1/2 hour goes in one of these…

We’ve had such fantastic results with our Advanced Injury Repair programme, using frequency specific microcurrent, that we often feel like it makes no sense how well it works. But it does! The treatment has been developed in the U.S. over the past 100 years with improvements in technology that have allowed better and better results. More recently Dr Carolyn McMakin has published several medical research papers which proves the anti-inflammatory and repair effects on the body. As the FSM equipment is TGA approved in Australia, it has been through rigorous testing which have PROVEN the increase in cellular energy, the decrease in inflammatory hormones and the increase in the immune boosting capacity of the frequency specific microcurrent technology.
And…we use 2 machines simultaneously! We’ll be discussing this treatment at our free pain talks in November: 25th & 26th – ring to book on 07 3348 6098 (see our ‘News’ page).
For people with recent injuries who need the Advanced Injury Repair we recommend 1-2 treatments per week: it has been proven to:
- increase the hormones which stimulate healing and reduce inflammation (broken bones, wound healing, infections, pulled ligaments and tendons, nerve damage),
- strengthening weakened tissues
- for chronic pain issues more like fibromyalgia,
- parkinsons & multiple sclerosis (we’re recommending long term, twice per month with nutritional supplementation to support the nervous and muscular systems)
It has been shown that 1 hour (1 machine) with our Advanced Injury Repair programme is equivalent to about 5 hours of massage. The benefit of this is that people with some chronic health issues such as fibromyalgia cannot handle massage due to pain afterwards, whereas they do seem to handle frequency specific microcurrent quite well.
Call Gabby or Helen today on 3348 6098 to book… always ask if there’s a special on offer, as we sometimes have ‘get started packages!’
