Chronic Pain Resources
The effective treatment and management of pain requires an Integrated/Integrative
and personal approach. (reasons outlined HERE).
Here you will find information on many aspects of chronic pain, for patients and health professionals.
Information about drug-free pain management and treatment ranges from treatment options, pain questionnaires, research, possible causes of pain, exercises, news, where to obtain practical support, government policies and much more.
There are also lists of general CAM research related to chronic pain for academic search.
As pain and other aspects of health are so interconnected, you will also find information about general health, nutrition, supplements, research and links to many other health resources.
All the information you find on this website is, of course, integrated and applied not only to my own work providing pain management and treatment, but also to geriatric, children, corporate and social/community support and training.
This website is continuously updated with more resources (about every week) so do come back frequently (this is the reason why there are some pages with ‘blank’ information - it is an indication that those subjects are going to be added soon). If you have any items you would like added on this website, please use any of the email or forms on the page.

QUICK NOTES
(click on title for more)
(click on title for more)
Therapies are not effective - therapists are.
No single pain treatment is completely effective. No two people are exactly the same.
Therapists are not all the same even if they have the same training. Pain affects different people in different ways. Different treatments affect different people in different ways.
There are over 400 known causes of back pain, for example, ranging from medical conditions affecting organs (such as kidneys and the liver), bones, emotions (eg stress, depression), muscles and so on. Some of those conditions require immediate and urgent attention. This is why it is important to work with your GP or a health professional qualified in making diagnoses. And this is part of the reason why the integrative model works so well.
My colleagues and I understand the burden chronic pain causes. Not only does it take over physically, but it has psychological and social effects too. This is why we target both the pain and your well being as a whole (employing what is called a biopsychosocial approach) - in an integrated way - preferably in partnership with your GP. This approach will help you reach ‘true’ health *.
* Good health is not just the absence of disease. We adopt the World Health Organisation’s definition of health (“health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing”) as adopted by the International Health Conference, New York, 19-22 June, 1946.
When you are unwell and in pain, and your GP diagnoses what is wrong with you, you are not expected to know which is the best treatment for that specific ailment.
Yet, when you decide to use alternative, drug-free treatments, this is precisely what you are expected to do. You might end up spending a lot of time and money trying different therapies you’ve heard about from friends, on the news, magazines or the Internet until you find something that works (if it works).

Food and pain – Choosing the right food to reduce pain and inflammation
Did you know that some of the things we eat or drink can make pain and inflammation better or worse? Some foods make blood pH more acid or alkaline (different parts of our bodies have different pH values) and this has a direct effect on inflammation and our immune system. | |

Intlife Pain
with Paulo Quadros
Don’t be an statistic - Become the evidence
SET YOURSELF ON THE PATH TO RECOVERYRegulation does not allow me to tell you how effective Dynamic Release™ is for the treatment and management of muscle, joint-related pain and some mental health conditions such as stress, anxiety and panic attacks but people I have treated can.
So, if you would like to know about their experiences have a look at the testimonials page. Some of them are willing to talk about their pain treatment experiences too.
“After one treatment with Paulo Quadros I was completely pain-free – I’ve never had to go back. It was like magic!”
Patricia Starrett 73
“Before Intlife I couldn’t play with my daughter or work in the job I loved because of my shoulder pain. But after only a few sessions I felt much better”
Stephen Quigley
Airing Pain is a series of Internet radio programmes produced for Pain Concern, the UK charity that provides information and support for the 7.8 million people living with chronic pain. Click HERE to listen.

While it is common for health service professionals to measure the temperature, blood pressure, respiratory and pulse rates of their patients on a regular basis and at the earliest opportunity, if pain were routinely assessed with the same priority as the other vital signs then a great deal of unnecessary suffering, stress and anxiety could be avoided.

Despite a number of government reports, recommendations and positive research published throughout a period of many years, very little has been done that has directly and positively affected people with chronic pain. People in pain need action NOW.
Pain management and treatment IS A HUMAN RIGHT and so is equal rights to access drug-free treatments
