Millions of Americans are dealing with chronic pain. According to the NIH, “80% of adults experience low back pain at some point in their lives.” Other people may experience headaches or neck pain, or shoulder pain, or hip pain- the list goes on and on. All of the aforementioned symptoms are commonly treated by chiropractors. Chiropractic treatment should be the first line of defense in treating back pain, headaches, and whiplash injuries. ​
There are healthy alternative options for dealing with pain before turning to pain medication. Pain medication and surgery should be a very last resort. With opioid addiction on the rise, side effects, and more and more people dissatisfied with the outcomes of taking pain medication, it is time to start looking for alternative treatments. Chiropractic treatment, massage, and acupuncture are the top three alternative options for treating chronic pain.

Chiropractic treatment is designed to treat low back pain, neck pain, headaches, and more by manually and naturally manipulating the spine. When muscles are tight, bones shift out of alignment. As the bone shift it may put pressure on the nerves, blood vessels, and surrounding tissue. Pressure on these structures leads to pain and inflammation. If the bone is not removed off of the tissue the problem will always exist. Pain medication acts as a band-aid. You have pain, pain medication takes the pain away, but when you stop taking the medication the pain will always come back unless you fix the underlying problem. Chiropractors are spinal specialists and are trained to detect, diagnose, and treat bones that have slipped out and are pinching a nerve. If you have any sort of back pain chiropractic may be able to help you deal with the pain.

Chiropractors are holistic doctors. They treat the source of the pain; pain does not always come from structural misalignments. Learning to deal with stress, and obtaining proper nutrition are also at the top of the list when it comes to dealing with chronic pain. Chiropractors can help guide you through diets, detoxes, and picking proper supplements. They can also teach you stress reduction techniques designed to lower stress hormones, and boost the immune system.

A note from your local spinal specialist Dr. Ally Bergh:
I have many patients that come to me who have had daily headaches, or chronic low back pain for years. I have helped them deal with their pain naturally. These patients were taking Tylenol and Advil daily just to get though their days. Many of them were not happy with the side effects or out comes of taking pain medication. They were looking for a more natural way, and chiropractic is the answer! I have many patients who complete their treatment plans, and no longer need to take medication because they no longer have pain! Through spinal check-ups, modifying their diet, and making sure they were getting the proper nutrients to heal, they were able to heal. I recommend chiropractic to anyone that is dealing with any sort of chronic or acute pain. Finding and correcting the source of the pain goes a lot further than putting a pill form band-aid over the problem for years!
