Whether a pain is a mild irritation lasting just moments or severe and lasting for weeks, months, or years, there is an inner instinct to seek a remedy for pain symptoms. As a natural healthcare practitioner, I must keep in mind that pain is an indicator, not a condition in itself. Think about it! The pain is the signal of some problem in one or more tissues in the body. The solution is determining what tissues, organs, and/or body systems are at fault and finding the most appropriate way to help it heal. If pain itself is managed alone, then the problem is never addressed.
Medical management of pain plays an important role when the pain affects the quality of life—basic self care, temperament, and regular daily activities. In this light, treating pain as a component of the condition is straight-forward.
As a chiropractor, I seek to solve the underlying prob-lem causing the pain by understanding the source. Once that is understood then, hands-on, manual therapies can safely begin. Treatment is an organized approach that can include one or more modalities that facilitate many levels of motion and healing processes, such as, traction, stretch-ing, trigger point therapy, deep tissue, myofascial, mobi-lization/ manipulation, exercise, and nutritional support.
The ultimate goal is safe, natural healing and to be vibrantly aware of our body’s capabilities versus having anxiety or dread over the mystery of pain. Discover the medicine of motion through chiropractic care!
Research confirms that services provided by chiroprac-tors are not only clinically effective but also cost-effective. In a recent article in JAMA, chiropractic care was suggested for the treatment of low back pain. To learn more about the benefits of chiropractic care, contact Donald L.
