Five Reasons to Consider Chiropractic Care for Your Injury

When you’re injured, the first thing you want is relief. The second thing you want is for that relief to be long lasting — preferably without any negative side effects.

That’s where chiropractic care comes in.

Here are five reasons to consider this drug-free, surgery-free form of treatment for your next injury.

1. Non-Invasive Treatment: In many cases, all you need is a chiropractor’s skillful hands or tools — no surgery or other intensive corrective measures required. This is good news for anyone who wants to avoid going under the knife, or who have been told that surgery isn’t an option.
   • Some tools a chiropractor may include or recommend a TENS unit, an activator adjustment tool, tests such as MRIs and x-rays, therapeutic ultrasounds, and so much more.

2. Opioid Alternative: More and more, people are looking for ways to avoid taking opioids or other pain medications. Chiropractic care can provide relief without creating dependency on medication, or decreasing its effectiveness over time. This study shows that chiropractic care received for lower back pain may decrease opioid use by at least 54%.
3. Effective for Headaches: If you suffer from headaches, you know how debilitating they can be. Fortunately, chiropractic care has been shown to be an effective treatment for headaches. Patients often see a reduction in intensity and frequency after cervical spine manipulation, physical therapy, and massage.
4. Affordable: In addition to being generally healthy for you, chiropractic care is also often more affordable than other types of treatments — especially when it’s covered by insurance. When comparing your options for injury treatment, be sure to ask about coverage before making a decision.
5. Fast Results: Finally, one of the best things about chiropractic care is that most people report feeling improved pain, aches, and strains after just a few sessions with a licensed chiropractor. Depending on the severity, most people will experience relief within 1 to 4 weeks of treatment. Therefore, if you’re looking for fast results that last, this might be the perfect treatment option for you.
