Amite City Chiropractic Care Better Than Drugs for Back Pain
Chiropractic is centered on the approach of enabling your body to naturally heal through spinal adjustments and lifestyle changes that promote overall health. For The Culminating Experience Chiropractic Clinic, this means working to reestablish your body's healthy performance to avoid the need for drugs or surgical treatments. We find that many of our Amite City patients are relieved to find a natural approach for their health issues.
One benefit of chiropractic therapy is that it helps people decrease or even eliminate the use of drugs. Prescriptions are frequently issued to people who have back pain. This is such a serious crisis that the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) issued a report stating that opioid (painkiller) dangers outweigh the benefits when administered for back pain.
Some of the most common opiates, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, include hydrocodone (Vicodin), oxycodone (OxyContin and Percocet), morphine, and codeine. Figures supplied by the AAN mention the fact that roughly 50% of the patients taking these types of substances for a period of three months are still on them five years later. This can further complicate the difficulty of back pain and healing, especially if an opiate addiction occurs.
Compare that to chiropractic which features natural healing and the advantages are evident. While a pill might be helpful at briefly reducing the symptoms of a health condition, it's not a solution to the problem. Drugs can't mend your damaged spine; it will only conceal the pain.
How Can Chiropractic Treatment Help You?
The Culminating Experience Chiropractic Clinic will first examine you to get to the origin of your back pain and then work with you to address the spinal interference -- without the need for risky medications.
If you're ready to get out of pain, naturally, give our Amite City office a call at (985) 247-2898 to make an appointment with The Culminating Experience Chiropractic Clinic.
