Buffalo Chiropractic Therapy Better Than Drugs for Back Pain
Chiropractic is centered on the approach of allowing your body to heal naturally through spinal adjustments and lifestyle changes that promote overall health. For Buffalo Family Chiropractic Wellness, P. C., this means working hard to reestablish your body's normal functioning to avoid the need for drugs or surgical treatments. We see that most of our Buffalo patients are relieved to find a natural answer for their health conditions.
One advantage of chiropractic treatment is that it helps people decrease or eliminate the use of drugs. Medications are frequently supplied to patients who have back soreness. This is such a significant crisis that the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) issued a news release stating that opioid (painkiller) dangers overshadow the advantages when administered for back pain.
Some of the most common narcotics, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, include hydrocodone (Vicodin), oxycodone (OxyContin and Percocet), morphine, and codeine. Data presented by the AAN mention the fact that approximately half of the people 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 recovery, particularly if an narcotic addiction occurs.
Contrast that to chiropractic care which engages natural healing and the advantages are crystal clear. While a drug might be helpful at briefly suppressing the symptoms of a health condition, it's not a real solution to the problem. A drug won't mend your injured spine; it will only mask the pain.
