Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author, and dynamic speaker, talks about how touch as an alternative to pain management can be enjoyed without a prescription.
ROCKVILLE, MD. September 28, 2022: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new blog on his website entitled “Pain Relief That Doesn’t Come In A Bottle: Part Two – Touch.” Dr. Rosa encourages those in pain to explore pain management alternatives with a sense of fun and adventure.
“Back in August,” Dr. Rosa states, “I wrote about forest bathing as a wonderful way to relieve pain without a prescription. This is the second piece in which I focus on another way of relieving pain without a pill. This time the topic is that of touch.”
Dr. Rosa states, “The information I’m offering here is from Alternative Pain Treatment Directory, which I highly recommend you subscribe to if you live with chronic pain and prefer to manage your pain without pills.” He continues adding, “We humans are sensitive to the healing power of touch. In fact, if newborn babies are never touched, they can fail to thrive, lose weight, and even die. It is also known that babies and young children who do not get touched have lower levels of growth hormone. A lack of touch can stunt a child’s growth.”
According to Dr. Rosa, “When it comes to treating chronic pain, the power of touch is often underestimated. Any kind of touch therapy can very pleasurable while also relieving pain.”
