Trusted Pain Specialists Providing Lasting Relief in Michigan in Bingham Farms
Pain is one of the most important ways our body signals that something is wrong. While many see it as a symptom of injury or illness, lasting relief comes from understanding the root cause. At Cutler Integrative Medicine we offer natural personalized solutions for effective pain management and long-term healing.
“A patient in Michigan had been living with daily joint pain for years. She didn’t want to rely on pills forever. We worked to reduce inflammation naturally, improve mobility, and rebuild strength. Today, she moves freely — and pain no longer defines her days.”
- Dr. Doug Cutler, Founder at Cutler Integrative Medicine
The Three Categories of Diabetes
1
Understanding Type I Diabetes:
In Type I Diabetes, the production and secretion of insulin by the pancreas are absent or dramatically low. The disease usually develops during childhood or adolescence and is also referred to as Juvenile or Insulin-Dependent Diabetes. The cause is thought to involve genetic and environmental factors that trigger an autoimmune reaction where the body attacks its own pancreatic cells. Management of Type I Diabetes includes manually injecting insulin and monitoring blood glucose levels daily.
2
Type II Diabetes:
In Type II Diabetes, insulin is still being produced but glucose and the insulin to transport it cannot enter the cell efficiently. About 90% of all diabetic patients are Type II diabetics. The disease is often referred to as Adult-Onset or Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes. Previously, it was far more common to diagnose obese adults and elderly with the disease. However, with the obesity rate becoming increasingly prevalent in children, so is Type II Diabetes. Most of the factors that contribute to Type II Diabetes are controllable. These factors include a poor diet high in refined carbohydrates and low in fiber, lack of exercise, nutritional deficiencies, and being overweight.
3
Gestational Diabetes:
Gestational Diabetes occurs in women who experience high blood glucose levels during pregnancy. This type of diabetes may be controlled with lifestyle changes such as a healthier diet and exercise. Maintaining a proper weight and remaining physically active throughout pregnancy will help prevent the development of Gestational Diabetes.

What is Pain and What Types are There?
Pain can be classified into acute and chronic pain levels, depending on the symptoms and how frequently they occur.
Recognizing which category your pain falls into is important for choosing the right treatment path. This classification helps healthcare providers better understand the nature of your discomfort, allowing for more accurate diagnosis, personalized care, and long-term relief strategies tailored to your needs.
Understand the Difference Between Acute and Chronic Pain
Acute Pain
Acute pain often has an unexpected onset and a shorter duration. With time and treatment, the pain will go away. It generally is caused by damage to organs, tissue, or bone.
Chronic Pain
Chronic pain can be classified as pain that has lasted for over three to six months. The cause of chronic pain is complex and still not fully understood. Various neuromuscular, reproductive, gastrointestinal, and urologic disorders may cause or contribute to chronic pain.
