Alternative Medicine and It’s Use in Natural Pain Management

Edit Article |

Posted: May 23, 2009 |Comments: 0

]]>

Chronic Pain conditions are a growing problem in the United States. And while the debate still rages about whether or not chronic pain should be managed as a separate condition or just a symptom of another problem it is clear that pain management has become a booming segment of the healthcare industry.

 

Consequently, the use of pharmaceutical drugs for pain control has also reached an all time high. Drugs like Oxicontin, Vicodin and methadone, are front page news in causing America’s latest drug crisis, as a result, the use of cocaine and heroin have also reached levels not seen in this country in 30 years.

 

Due to the economic and scientific phenomena of the pharmaceutical revolution of the 20th century, thousands of years of knowledge were suddenly abandoned. Herbal medicine has safely and effectively treated pain for millennia, and is for safer than the synthesized, processed medications that today’s doctors seem to be all too willing to hand out like so much candy.

 

In the realm of alternative medicine, there are many forms of natural pain management that are in fact, the basis of where many of our oh-so-well loved pharmaceutical drugs come from.  

 

Codeine and morphine are opium derivatives that may be effective but are also highly addictive, and even aspirin is a derivative of willow bark. Many other plants have been used in natural pain management since antiquity, such as lavender and chamomile for minor pain issues and these plants have the added benefit of also assisting with the emotional component of pain such as anxiety and difficulty sleeping. Plants like henbane and mandrake are so effective that they are even used very effectively during labor to ease the pain of childbirth.

 

Some wonderful and powerful herbal medicine can also be found in the spice cabinet. Spices like turmeric, and ginger are two of the most powerful anti- inflammatories on the planet. These plants are natural COX-2 inhibitors; they are the alternative medicine answer to the well loved pharmaceutical drugs Celebrex and Vioxx. In the middle east, India and all over Asia where the diets are rich in spices like turmeric, and ginger and cayenne, where life is also far less convenient then our own, people have a far less occurrence of arthritis and chronic back pain, and continue to work very labor intensive jobs such as farming and agriculture work even into their 90’s.

 

There has always been an accepted school of thought in allopathic medicine that it is acceptable to injure one part of the body to heal another, thus even common over the counter NSAID pain relievers such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen, can cause long term hurt, acetaminophen to the liver and ibuprofen to the kidneys, in natural pain management many plants, roots, barks, and other herbs not only antistetic in nature but they are also anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic as well, and herbal medicine is gentler on the system and is more synergistic with the body allowing for greater absorption of the necessary constitutes.

 

So you see that alternative medicine goes beyond the typically accepted ideal of treating just the symptoms and goes farther to treat many of the underlying causes as well as some of the other components involved in chronic pain conditions.

Holistic Methods of Pain Management

“The first night after I learned how to do Brain Wave Vibration, I practiced it to rid myself from pain. I was asleep in bed, and had a severe muscle cramp in my right quadricep. The cramp would not go away, so I thought about taking one of my leg cramp pills. Then I thought that if I continued to rely on the pills, I would essentially be a slave to the pills because I would be dependent on them. I chose to try Brain Wave Vibration to see if it would help make the pain go away. I sat on the edge of my bed and shook my head from side to side. At the same time I imagined the pain from my legs coming up through my body and then leaving my body as I exhaled. After about five minutes, my pain in both legs was gone, and I was able to go back to sleep. I felt elated that I was able to stop pain with such a simple procedure.”
–Patrick Ruz, 53, Albuquerque, NM

Like Patrick, millions of people around the world suffer from pain, both occasional and chronic. His experience offers an example of how some pain can be dealt with on one’s own without medication and its side effects. Some holistic healing methods of pain relief include herbal treatments, exercise, deep breathing techniques, self-hypnosis, acupuncture, music therapy, yoga, biofeedback, magnet therapy, massage, meditation, and relaxation therapy.

Research by Robert Kerns, Professor of Psychiatry at Yale University, and the National Program Director for Pain Management at the Veterans Health Administration, has indicated that “a person’s thinking could really affect their pain experience. Therapy that helps people feel they are in some control over their thoughts and emotions–keeping a journal, practicing relaxation techniques, or biofeedback–that help them manage their negative feelings and alleviate their suffering, was shown to reduce stress and pain. Our chronic pain isn’t beyond our control.”

A recent method of pain management developed by Dahn Yoga and Brain Education founder Ilchi Lee gives practitioners this sense of control. It expands on the “shaking medicine” of shamans and the healing powers of meditation and music. Called Brain Wave Vibration, its simplest form involves shaking the head while focusing on the center of the head cavity. As tension in the head and neck relaxes, the vibrations made by the shaking travel down to the shoulders and then to the rest of the body. While moving their body, it’s vital for practitioners to follow their own internal, natural rhythm in order to make a stronger connection between mind and body.

It’s often thought by many holistic healthcare providers that a strong mind-body connection helps natural healing to take place more readily in body and mind. In the case of Brain Wave Vibration, the vibrations made help reduce or eliminate mind chatter and increase focus—like a moving meditation. With extraneous thoughts out of the way, the brain can better pay attention to the body.

Anecdotal evidence about Brain Wave Vibration has indicated that keeping a goal in one’s mind while doing the technique helps with that goal’s achievement. As Patrick Ruz demonstrated, focusing on the pain while keeping thoughts of healing in the mind and moving the body instinctively helps relieve or eliminate pain.

Besides eliminating pain, Brain Wave Vibration has the added benefit of lightening your mood, relaxing your body, and bringing you inner peace. Using that or other simple methods of pain management you can do on your own will enable you to take control of your pain and your health without as much reliance on medication.

Attend conferences and do away with your pain management denial woes

Edit Article |

Posted: Sep 25, 2009 |Comments: 0

]]>

A chronic Patient A comes to a pain management specialist, but during the visit, the physician fails to uncover a definitive diagnosis. Although changing or doing guesswork of the diagnosis is not right, there are codes that can help you handle the situation.

It always pays to stay away from assumptions as much as possible. To cite an example, Patient A is complaining of severe, chronic pain in the right side of his back; the problem started about 10 months back. The pain management specialist performs an examination and then provides two trigger point injections in the right lumbar multifidus muscle for pain relief. But his chart notes show “the patient has back pain”.

You get this chart and note your physician performed trigger point injections on other patients in the past, using one unit of 20552. Let’s say the most recent injections carried out on the other patients’ backs were for myofascial pain.

As there’s no specific diagnosis, will you assume the patient also has myofascial pain and report 20552 with a diagnosis of 729.1?

The answer is no because assumptions are not sufficient for coding compliance. If your physician did not specifically note myofascial pain or myalgia and you use one of these codes, you could land yourself in distress in the wake of a payer audit.

Remember back pain (724.5) is not the same as myalgia (729.1). You can’t choose myalgia just because it’s close and is on the approved list.

If you want to be on top of your pain management coding, there are coding conferences to help you get there. When you attend one, you’ll get pain management coding updates and learn to be more specific in your coding so that denials don’t come anywhere near you.

Attend pain management coding conferences to give more specificity to your coding

]]>

The situation: A pain management specialist treats a chronic pain patient. During a visit your physician isn’t able to uncover a definitive diagnosis. Here you shouldn’t do a guess work. Doing so may land you in a spot. Assumption is something which you should certainly stay away from in such situations.

Specificity in diagnosis coding is very vital. More so because third-party payers are establishing more stringent coverage criteria for therapies and procedures and are using automated edits to deny claims based on the lack of a covered diagnosis.

Using non-specific diagnosis code, which may be close but not exact, may mean you will not be paid for a service due to Medicare Local Coverage Choice (LCD) or a third-party medical policy. Or it may mean you are paid in error for a service for which there would be no coverage if you had used the right diagnosis.

Both of these scenarios are problematic. To learn how to use the most specific diagnosis appropriate for the patient and ensure it is well-documented in the medical record, you can attend pain management coding seminars and conferences.

When you attend one, you’ll learn to be more specific in your pain management coding, helping you maximize your skill-set, reduce claim denials and receive the reimbursement you deserve.

In fact, come December and Orlando, FL will play host to a pain management 2010 coding update and reimbursement conference. So place off all your things for a later date and be right there for all the coding action. You stand to take home a lot of pain management coding know how from this conference.

Watch out for prior conditions while coding for pain management

Edit Article |

Posted: Nov 25, 2009 |Comments: 0
|

]]>

Your physician needs to document (and you should code) prior conditions contributing to current complaints if they affect the management of the current condition.

For instance, “Prior trauma, such as a previously broken bone, can cause patients to experience back or neck pain. If a patient’s pain stems from a previous condition, that diagnoses can also be coded to justify pain management procedures.

Depending on the situation, there may be V codes or late-effect codes that you may use in addition to the current complaint that show a late effect or a personal history of trauma. For instance, in a scenario where chronic neck pain was present due to a prior traumatic vertebral break at C6, for instance, you could code this using all that mentioned below.

338.21 – Chronic pain due to trauma; 723.1 – Cervicalgia; 905.1 – late effect of break of spine and trunk without mention of spinal cord lesion.

You could even code this as 338.21, 723.1, and V15.51 (personal history of injury-healed traumatic break).

But if the break was a pathological break, the coding might be different. For example, you might use 338.29 (other chronic pain) and V13.51 (personal history of pathological break) in addition to 723.1 code 338.29 is appropriate (instead of 338.21) because a pathological break is not considered “due to trauma”.

The key to right coding of these contributory conditions is ensuring they are appropriately documented in the medical record. It’s vital that your provider is aware of how vital this information is to justify medical necessity.

For more on pain management coding, you can go for a pain management conference this December.

There are also those who are really not capable of performing any kind of strenuous physical activity because they are injured or something. And there are also those who really do not want to tire their bodies out because they are not in the mood or just bone idle.
