Replace your painkillers with this!
Before you grab those painkillers, you should try this for back pain!
If you think you’re alone in suffering from back pain, you’re not! Low back pain conditions are the #2 disability in the world, costing the economy millions, and reducing productivity, as well as general quality of life.
If you suffer from chronic back pain, you may think that prescription painkillers or opioids are your only choice to manage your condition. This is no longer the protocol followed by healthcare practitioners due to the Opioid Crisis created by the medical profession who chose to medicate their patients with painkillers that were highly addictive. Unfortunately, all of us in society are now paying an expensive price for this decision to drug patients, rather than refer them to a multitude of conservative, evidence-based therapies proven to help patients manage, and correct their conditions.
Consider Chiropractic as your first line of defense against pain with the following treatment options:
- Adjustments to the spine
Chiropractors deliver precise adjustments to the vertebrae of the spine to get stiff joints moving again, while stimulating the muscles and ligaments to be more flexible.
- All hands on deck
Pain affects everyone differently. Working with multiple health care providers addresses the physical, psychological and social or occupational factors that may be contributing to your pain.
- Movement
Chiropractors prescribe exercises to help improve function of joints and muscles, and reduce pain. These exercises can also prevent flare-ups if they become a regular part of your daily exercise program!
- Pinpoint the cause
Acupuncture is an effective, well-researched technique that changes the nervous system and strengthens the mind-body connection. It can be effective in helping to change muscle patterns, as well as aid in reducing inflammation and pain.
- Change of focus
Mindfulness-based stress reduction happens when your brain changes how you process pain messages from your body. Meditation, breathing exercises, body awareness techniques, like Yoga, can help you change the way you experience pain.
