Conservative care and the opioid crisis

 

It is not something new for people in pain to seek pain relief. It is not a new thing for people to use medications to relieve acute or chronic pain. And, sometimes, that may include powerful drugs called opioids. Opioids have a place in medicine especially after surgery or a serious injury. But, the use of these drugs can actually change the way we perceive pain and can predispose a person to addiction!
Numerous studies have shown that conservative care ( including Chiropractic) can be much more effective in relieving pain, stimulating healing, lowering the use of opioids and preventing opioid abuse and addiction. Controlling inflammation, gentle motion, rest, counseling/therapy, meditation, acupuncture and, of course, the restoration of motion and nerve function with Chiropractic can greatly reduce opioid use.
