Pain, Patient and Nurse

We know that acute pain is short lived and resolves with time. We know chronic pain is long term and as result has life changing impact on a person.

Last week I asked if complementary therapies help: Methods found to have positive effect on pain include acupuncture, chiropractic medicine, meditation, massage, yoga, exercise to name a few.
Have we found one therapy to be more effective than other? Like pain with its uniqueness, therapies are unique as well. Some people find great results with one form of therapy while others find little results. Here is a video on meditation. Try it and see how you feel!!!   http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/meditation/MM00623

This week I want you to tell me, do you believe one complementary therapy is more effective than another?
