March 2025 Healthy News from Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers Discover Non-Drug Pain Relief Through Chiropractic Care
DISCOVER NON-DRUG PAIN RELIEF THROUGH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Back and neck pain remain leading causes of chronic discomfort, resulting in significant dependency on opioids for relief. However, research demonstrates that chiropractic care may be an effective, drug-free alternative, minimizing the need for opioids while effectively managing pain.
Chiropractic treatments, such as spinal manipulation and manual decompression, target the root cause of pain by addressing musculoskeletal misalignments. 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) Similarly, Kruse et al. (2023) reported that patients with failed back surgery syndrome significantly lowered their opioid use after just three months of manual spinal decompression therapy. (2)
The benefits of chiropractic treatment go beyond back pain relief. By lessening reliance on opioids, patients avoid the risk of addiction and the unpleasant side effects often associated with these medications. Chiropractic treatment empowers patients to take a proactive, holistic approach to their health, fostering long-term recovery and an improved quality of life.
If you're wanting an effective way to address back or neck pain without opioids, chiropractic therapy is an evidence-based alternative backed by science. Experience drug-free pain relief and regain control over your health today.

TIP OF THE MONTH: Try Sit-To-Stand Combo Exercise to Help Your Spine!
Keep exercise simple! Combining sit-to-stand exercises with blood flow restriction (BFR) presents a favorable solution for those suffering from 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 movements are simple, functional exercises that improve strength and mobility, while BFR increases circulation and targets muscular adaptation without placing undue stress on the back. Together, they make a safe, impactful solution to help patients rebuild strength, stability, and confidence in their daily lives.
