Whether it is a persistent backache, a stiff neck, aching joints, or recurring headaches, pain can interfere with work, family life, and everyday activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While pain-relieving medications may provide temporary comfort, many people also seek complementary therapies that focus on supporting the body&#8217;s natural healing processes.
