Chiropractic Care: The Natural Approach to Back Pain

Prescott Natural Approaches to Back Pain with Chiropractic Therapy

Chiropractic is based on the approach of enabling your body to naturally heal through spinal adjustments and lifestyle changes that promote overall health. For Weary Chiropractic Clinic, this means working hard to reestablish your body's normal functioning to prevent the need for medications or surgical treatments. We see that most of our Prescott patients are pleased to find a natural answer for their health conditions.

One advantage of chiropractic care is that it helps people minimize or even eliminate the use of drug treatments. Prescription medications are commonly issued to patients who have back problems. This is such a serious concern that the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) issued a report stating that opioid (painkiller) dangers overshadow the advantages when administered for back pain.

Some of the most popular narcotics, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, include hydrocodone (Vicodin), oxycodone (OxyContin and Percocet), morphine, and codeine. Statistics offered by the AAN cite the fact that approximately half of the patients taking these types of substances for a period of three months are still taking them five years down the road. This can further complicate the problem of back pain and recovery, especially if an narcotic addiction arises.

Contrast that to chiropractic care which involves natural healing and the advantages are obvious. While a drug might be useful at briefly relieving the discomfort of a health condition, it's not a solution to the problem. A drug won't fix your injured back; it will only conceal the pain.
