There are two ways to get out of pain:

1) External Intervention: stretching, soft tissue work,
strengthening, etc. When used in the right amount and timing,
they will fix the root cause of the problem.

2) Internal Intervention: medicine, supplements... but also food.
The goal of an internal intervention is usually to reduce
inflammation.

But what is inflammation anyway?

I'll call Wikipedia for help: "Inflammation is a protective
attempt by the organism to remove the injurious stimuli and
to initiate the healing process. Without inflammation, wounds
and infections would never heal."

Thanks Wikipedia.

In plain English, when you're trying to get pain-free and
heal, you actually NEED inflammation to occur.

The problem is: most people experience what is called acute
or chronic inflammation.

The same way too little inflammation will slow down the
healing process, too much of it will keep you in pain longer.

That's when the doc comes in:

You: My neck/back/shoulders/soul hurts like crazy.

Doc: Take these pills! Magic!

(4 weeks later...)

You: My neck/back/shoulders/soul hurts even if I take the pills.

Doc: Take MORE pills! Magic!

Now that's a problem: 1) You can't rely on pills for the rest
of your life and 2) They will take a toll on your liver and
overall health in the long run.

Instead of relying solely on pills, I suggest you focus on
avoiding foods that keep your body in that chronic state
of inflammation.
