Can Chiropractic Care Help With Chronic Pain Management?

Yes. Chiropractors can absolutely help you with pain management — and without drugs.

With the rise of the opioid crisis in the US, there has been a good deal of worry and concern over possible solutions. In reality, this is a problem of our own making. In the early 2000s, pain medicine like Oxycontin were over-prescribed for treating chronic pain.

The problem with this was that people became addicted and stayed on these medications far beyond when they should have been taken off of them. Furthermore, many of these patients didn’t receive any sort of treatment that would actually help to fix the underlying problem that caused the pain.

How a Doctor of Chiropractic Can Help With Pain Relief

There are many different types of pain, so it’s important to go over what we’re talking about with the term chronic pain. Chiropractors take this aspect of their health care profession very seriously.

Chronic pain is basically any pain that you are feeling in an affected area long after it should have been alleviated with normal treatments. Pain medications are not meant to be taken long term. In addition to addiction, there are many other side effects that can creep in, as well.

There are a number of options to treat pain. This could be some sort of neuropathic pain that a regular chiropractic adjustment regimen could help, spinal manipulation, spinal cord stimulation, and more.

This is because pain travels through the nervous system, which is the highway through your body for signals going to and from the brain.

Often, chronic neck pain and headaches can be addressed by very basic chiropractic treatment.
