Whether you suffer from debilitating headaches or chronic neck or back pain, you might feel your options for relief are limited. However, working with a chiropractor can ease your discomfort and provide multiple health benefits. When you’re under chiropractic care, you can minimize your dependence on medications for pain relief.

Though medications can play a valuable role in pain management, patients might worry about becoming too reliant on drugs. Presently, the United States is in the middle of an opioid epidemic; this prevalent issue also includes prescription pain relievers. However, their pain might be too intense to function without relief of some kind.

Chiropractic care provides a natural alternative to medications. Instead of only treating your symptoms, a chiropractor goes to the source—restricted joints. Using clinically proven methods of adjusting the spine and joints, your chiropractor can help restore normal motion to your body. When you attend regular chiropractic treatments, the adjustments help decrease muscle tightness and inflammation, restore normal nerve function and improve joint motion. 

Sessions with your chiropractor provide instant relief and relaxation because it triggers endorphins, which are produced by the body as a natural pain reliever. Additionally, chiropractic care does not carry the adverse side effects that medications do. Patients are not incapacitated, nauseated, or drowsy to the point of incoherence, and they don’t become addicted. Most patients simply state that they feel relaxed after the treatment.
