September is Pain Awareness Month. The goal of this month is to raise public awareness of issues in the area of pain and pain management. We are experiencing a serious national crisis with the continued rise of misuse and addiction to opioids and prescription pain relievers. Nearly 100 million Americans experience chronic pain. Living with pain can be debilitating and adversely affect everyday life.
Types of Pain
Arthritis
Arthritis refers to over 100 different conditions ranging from autoimmune disease to normal joint inflammation.
According to the National Institutes of Health, eight out of ten people will have back pain at some time in their life.
Headaches
Millions of people get crippling headaches, and there are dozens of different headache types — but receiving the right diagnosis is key to getting the right treatment.
Chiropractic care for musculoskeletal pain is associated with a significant reduction in opioid prescriptions compared with non-chiropractic care in this patient population.
Chiropractic is a system of therapy focused on the structure of the body, particularly the spine. Chiropractors manipulate the body’s alignment to relieve pain and improve function and to help the body heal itself
