The term “pain management” calls up different images to different people. Some envision recurring trips to the pharmacy for painkillers, while others think of corrective surgery. Fortunately, however, there is another method that requires neither — chiropractic care and associated natural therapies, as offered by our team at Priority Health. Let us look at how these therapeutic modalities work to reduce or even eliminate pain and inflammation while encouraging the body’s natural healing powers.
Acute Pain – If you have suffered an injury, you may be dealing with pain caused by pinched nerves, torn muscles and inflammation at the injury site. In many such cases a spinal misalignment is either a cause or a contributing factor, pushing discs against nerves or subjecting the muscles to excessive stress. By relieving the impingements or tissue strain, we can relieve the source of your pain and allow healing to begin. Massage therapy is another useful technique for reducing soft tissue pain and inflammation without drugs.
Chronic pain – Some conditions such as osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia have no ready cure, leaving sufferers to cope with chronic pain. In these situations our goal shifts to getting the pain under control while improving function as much as possible. Since impaired nerve function plays a major role in pain sensitivity and sensation, spinal adjustments can often make a big difference in the level of perceived pain. At the same time, massage therapy can loosen and relax muscles that tend to go into spasm from these abnormal nerve signals; certain massage techniques can also relieve the painful knots caused by fibromyalgia.
