What is causing my chronic back pain?
The cause of your back pain is best determined by the exact symptoms in particular what makes it better or worse what time of day is it worse, do activities make it worse, is it worse with movement ?etc. Long term use of NSAIDS like ibuprofen can lead to a decrease in kidney and liver function. Best to live an anti-inflammatory diet and take herbal anti inflammatory medication as needed,e.g.; boswellia, tumaric, Traumeel or try 3grams of high quality fish oil daily. READ MORE

Dealing with pain anxiety depression
Given the current climate politically. It is very difficult for a Dr to be comfortable prescribing anxiolytics with narcotics. So it is time to try getting off one or the other. Narcotics are actually easier to taper off of. Most long term users are able to get off and have no more pain than they did on their stable dose. Anxiolytics require a slower tapering schedule READ MORE

Write ReviewPatient Experience with Dr. Bethel
- Arlene
I went to Dr. Bethel several years ago, but I don't think I ever wrote a review about my experience with him. I had been having neck pain for several months. I had tried several medical treatments, but nothing worked. Then I read about PROLOTHERAPY. I had heard that Dr. Bethel was a proponent of that treatment. So I made an appointment with him. As I said this was several years ago. I went to him for a treatment. I had, probably, at least two treatments. After his treatment my pain was completely gone and has never returned. From my experience I highly recommend both Dr. Bethel and the treatment. There are no side effects, and Dr. Bethel is an incredibly kind and efficient doctor.
