No one wants to live in pain.
It makes life unbearable. It is no wonder that so many people get hooked on opioid pain killers. Not just because they are addictive but because without treating the cause of the pain once that band-aid wears off (the medication) you are right back to being in pain again and the cycle is doomed to continue.
Pain killer addiction has taken a huge toll on the lives of many Floridians. By the CDC’s latest statistics as many as 1 in 4 patients who are written a prescription for opioids for long term care will struggle with addiction. Thousands being treated in the ER for misusing their script.
Since just 1999 yearly deaths involving prescription opioid medications have quadrupled.
There are other issues besides addiction that go hand in hand with using these types of medications, especially long term. Numbing a pain may convince the patient that they are healing or that the problem is less severe in nature than it really is.
Chiropractic and other non-drug approaches to pain management can be the first line against pain and addiction caused by the saturation of the body by prescription opioid pain medications. Growing research validates the effectiveness of chiropractic, leading many respected health care organizations to recommend chiropractic for pain relief.
The American College of Physicians updated the guidelines for the treatment of acute and chronic low back pain to recommend chiropractic first before resorting to drug therapies.
Even the CDC Center for Disease Control has announced guidelines for prescribing opioids that also promote non-drug alternatives for the treatment of chronic pain.
The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) encourages patients to utilize non-drug related therapies first before resorting to the use of prescription drugs to help alleviate pain.
