Avoid Opioids: Pain Management through Chiropractic Care

When you’re experiencing chronic pain, whether from an on-the-job injury, car accident, or some other cause, your first thought may be that you need some type of prescription drug to relieve your symptoms. In recent years, doctors have been quite willing to prescribe these types of drugs, particularly opioids, to patients dealing with chronic pain.

However, there are alternatives to drugs that can provide longer-lasting and more positive results without any of the dangerous side effects associated with opioid use. Those are treatments that your Fremont chiropractor can provide.

Chiropractic Treatment vs Opioids in Nebraska

While opioids are often effective at reducing pain, they come with a host of side effects, and they’re also quite addictive. Treatment with opioids also fails to address the underlying cause of the pain, leaving you with little choice but to continue taking the drugs indefinitely. Chiropractic care, on the other hand, is aimed precisely at correcting the underlying problem that’s causing your pain, allowing you to find lasting pain relief.

Chiropractic care is also non-addictive, and it has no side effects. Rather than masking your pain as opioids do, treatments from your chiro in Nebraska will work to correct the misalignment or nerve impingement that is causing the pain to begin with. This is accomplished through a series of adjustments combined with other treatments depending on the actual nature of your condition.

Professional Care from Your Fremont Chiropractor

Your Fremont chiropractor will complete a thorough physical assessment during your first office visit to determine the nature and cause of your pain. We will also discuss your medical history with you, and we’ll then come up with a comprehensive treatment plan designed to relieve your symptoms quickly while simultaneously eliminating the underlying cause of those symptoms.

In addition to a range of in-office treatments, your chiropractor may teach you some stretches and exercises to do at home that will help you maintain the progress you’ve made and work on restoring your range of motion.
