Chiropractic a Natural Remedy for Back Pain

Oakleigh chiropractic back pain treatmentPersistent back pain may result from a number of conditions and can immensely affect daily activities. It not only impacts the physical health but can also lead to emotional stress. To add to the strain, figuring out the right pain relief treatment is often a difficult task.

Are you looking for a safe and natural method to get rid of back pain?

We bring to you an effective remedy that is based on the concept of natural healing. Chiropractic care involves the process of treating backaches through manual therapies. Chiropractic emphasizes the idea of promoting healing through spinal adjustments and lifestyle changes. It involves a non-invasive treatment that allows your body to function normally without the use of surgery or medications. Indeed, quite a number of people have found relief in this natural method.

The foremost benefit of chiropractic is that it enables people to reduce or completely eliminate the use of medications. This is significant given the fact the high use of drugs for back pain relief has emerged as a cause for concern. In fact, The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) has stated in a press release that the harms of Opioid (painkiller) overshadow its benefits.

Moreover, there is an increasing concern that the pain-killers can lead to a dependency. The commonly prescribed opiates include oxycodone (OxyContin and Percocet), hydrocodone (Vicodin), morphine, and codeine. Data clearly indicates that about 50% of the people who relied on these pain-killers for more than three months end up taking them even after five years.

In comparison, chiropractic care offers natural healing and does not rely on any medication. Moreover, it is essential to find a long-term solution to a chronic issue like back pain. Medication can only offer a temporary relief. However, with chiropractic care, you get to identify the cause and work on it. It offers a natural remedy to ensure that the body is able to function properly.

At North Road Chiropractic, we offer effective chiropractic treatment solutions for your back pain. We begin by getting to the source of the issue and ensuring proper alignment of the musculoskeletal structure. This allows the body to heal naturally.
