Are you searching for a safe, effective alternative to medication for managing your pain? Nearly every American will suffer from chronic back pain or neck pain at some point in their lives. Unfortunately, without effective care, many of these individuals will continue to struggle with pain for months or even years – or risk invasive surgery that may even make the pain worse!
Chiropractic Care Relieves Pain Without Drugs or Surgery
Chiropractic care is an effective, drug-free and non-invasive pain management technique that treats your pain at the source. Could chiropractic care be right for your pain management needs? Below, our chiropractor shares three things you need to know about chiropractic care and pain relief:
#1: Treats pain at the source. Prescription painkillers are effective for temporarily relieving pain symptoms, but they are not a permanent solution. Once this medication wears off, pain will return. Chiropractic care is different. Chiropractic adjustments target pain at the source. Many cases of pain are due to untreated spinal misalignments that place pressure on nearby nerves. Chiropractic adjustments relieve this compression for long-term pain relief.
#2: Helps the body heal faster. If you are struggling with chronic pain following an accident injury, it’s natural to feel frustrated with a limited range of mobility. By bringing alignment back to the spine, chiropractic adjustments make everyday movements less painful. Together with physiotherapy exercises, chiropractic adjustments can help restore coordination, flexibility and balance back to the body.
#3: Reduce the risk for future pain. As long your spine remains out of alignment, you are at continued risk for injury, pain and illness. Chiropractic adjustments help to decrease the risk for future pain and injury by restoring correct alignment to the spine. When the spine is properly aligned, the entire body functions in a state of “ease” as the central nervous system is able to freely send and receive messages between the brain and the body, enhancing all aspects of your health.
