Chiropractic Care and the Opioid Crisis

Chronic pain is a serious issue and can be the result of many conditions and circumstances. Past injuries, chronic pain disorders such as Fibromyalgia, disorders of the spine, disorders of the nervous system, and more can all lead to chronic pain. Regardless of the source of pain, one thing chronic pain sufferers all have in common is a desire for relief.
Finding safe pain relief options for pain can be difficult. At Diamond State Chiropractic, we understand that one of the contributing factors to the ongoing opioid crisis is a misunderstanding of healthy pain management techniques. This is why we are proud to offer natural and effective pain relief to residents of Newark, DE, and the surrounding areas

What Are Opioids?

Opioids are a class of highly addictive drugs. This class of drugs includes heroin, oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, and more. Prescription opioids are becoming an increasingly dangerous problem as more and more individuals with legitimate pain disorders become addicted to these powerful chemicals. Opioids are dangerous because of the effects they can have on the body after long term use, as well as the contribution these drugs make to drug activity in communities.

How Our Chiropractor Can Help

Many people get addicted to opioids following an injury or a chronic pain disorder diagnosis. A person begins to experience ongoing pain, they want relief, they visit a traditional doctor, and they have opioids prescribed. This is a very common series of events that happens every day. The problem is that in many cases, these injuries and chronic pain issues could have been addressed through natural methods.

Our chiropractor can diagnose and treat pain conditions without the use of drugs. Spinal manipulation, massage therapy, hot/cold therapy, cold laser therapy, and lifestyle changes are all ways that pain can be addressed in a natural, drug-free way. This route of pain management does require a time investment, but the results are lasting pain relief which builds your health rather than damaging it.
