Drug-Free Chiropractic Treatment for Patients with Back and Spine Pain

More and more medical doctors recommend nonpharmacological (drug-free)

chiropractic treatments
for patients with back and spine pain. The reason medical doctors turn
to the chiropractic community for patient treatment relates to their
crystal clear understanding of the opioid epidemic and the
opioid-related health risk that their patients face. They understand
that with every opioid prescription there is an associated potential
pathway to drug addiction.

The American College of Physicians, a highly regarded physicians
group in the United States, issued guidelines that suggest the use of
spinal manipulation and cold laser therapy (and other back and neck pain treatment services
that we offer) as highly recommended alternatives to opioids. Studies
show that continuous use of opioids in excess of 30 days greatly
increases your risk of drug dependence. Back and neck problems often
relate to systemic issues that require treatment in excess of 30 days to
mitigate and/or eliminate pain. This is a real life health dilemma
given the fact that physical dependence on opioids can develop in as
little as two days of continuous use.

With the potential for dependence and the real harm imposed by
long-term opioid use, utilizing non-drug approaches (like chiropractic
care) makes perfect sense. Chiropractors have the training, expertise,
and tools necessary to evaluate, diagnose, treat, and monitor pain.
Chiropractic treatment for back and neck pain can eliminate the need for
prescription pain relievers. Dr. Fedich and his staff at Village Family Clinic offer opioid-free treatments for your pain.

American College of Physicians and consider chiropractic solutions to
