DISCOVER NON-DRUG PAIN RELIEF THROUGH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Back and neck pain continue to be leading causes of chronic discomfort, resulting in significant dependency on opioids for relief. However, research shows that chiropractic care may offer an effective, drug-free alternative, minimizing the need for opioids while effectively managing pain.
Chiropractic treatments, including spinal manipulation and manual decompression, focus on correcting musculoskeletal misalignments that contribute to pain. Research supports their effectiveness: a 2025 study by Trager et al. found that chiropractic care for sciatica not only alleviated pain but also led to fewer opioid-related adverse events. (1) Likewise, Kruse et al. (2023) found that patients with failed back surgery syndrome significantly decreased their opioid use after just three months of manual spinal decompression therapy. (2)
The benefits of chiropractic treatment go beyond back pain relief. By reducing reliance on opioids, patients escape the risk of addiction and the unpleasant side effects often associated with these medications. Chiropractic care empowers patients to take control of their health safely and holistically, fostering long-term recovery and improved quality of life.
If you’re dealing with back or neck pain and seeking an effective, science-backed alternative to opioids, chiropractic care offers a safe and trusted solution. With a focus on addressing the root cause of pain, this approach allows you to regain control over your health and well-being.

TIP OF THE MONTH: Try Sit-To-Stand Combo Exercise to Help Your Spine!
Keep exercise simple! Pairing sit-to-stand exercises with blood flow restriction (BFR) could be a game-changer for those struggling with low back pain. According to a study by Lee KH and Chon SC (2024), this unique combination not only augments pain relief but also fosters muscle growth in individuals with low back instability. (3) Sit-to-stand exercises are simple yet effective for building strength and mobility, while BFR ramps up circulation and triggers muscle adaptation—all without overloading your spine. Together, they create a safe, impactful solution to assist patients in rebuilding strength, stability, and confidence in their daily lives.
