Empowered with Meg Ryan Explores Alternative Pain Treatments on Public Television

LOS ANGELES, May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — “Empowered with Meg Ryan” is teaming up with the Alternative Pain Treatment Directory to present a special segment on innovative pain management strategies aimed at chronic pain sufferers. The episode, set to be filmed on June 5, will air on Public Television stations, offering viewers insights into various effective therapies.

This collaboration acknowledges that many individuals living with chronic pain do not receive the best care due to a lack of awareness about alternative therapies. According to Cindy Perlin, LCSW, and founder of the Alternative Pain Treatment Directory, “Too many people are suffering needlessly from chronic pain when safe, effective treatments exist. Our mission is to increase awareness and improve access to these life-altering therapies.”

The segment will cover a range of approaches including mind-body techniques like meditation and yoga, which can significantly alter pain perception, as well as nutritional support that tackles inflammation. Additionally, advanced physical therapies—such as chiropractic, massage, and acupuncture—will be discussed, each demonstrating unique methods to enhance balance and alleviate discomfort.

Another focus will include exploring innovative energy-based treatments, illustrating the evolving nature of pain management solutions. The aim is to provide an accessible overview of how these alternative modalities can lead to long-lasting relief, rather than temporary symptom management.

This topic is especially relevant for women over 45, who statistically experience higher rates of chronic pain. The program will emphasize that effective pain management is not one-size-fits-all; exploring various modalities rooted in ancient traditions or recent scientific advancements can uncover opportunities for recovery.

By presenting these alternatives, the segment hopes to empower viewers to take charge of their health and find more holistic approaches to their well-being. This educational initiative aligns with the mission of “Empowered with Meg Ryan” to inspire proactive actions for better health.
