Chronic pain is any pain that has been experienced for more than 6 months. Chronic pain causes muscles to contract, contributing to soreness and stiffness amd will not get better on it's own, but may become worse. According to the American Pain Society, 56% of those suffering with chronic pain have been suffering for more than five years.
The most common types of chronic pain include back pain, tension headaches, abdominal pain, shoulder pain and neck pain. Chronic pain not only hurts, it interferes with the normal function of glandular, digestive, eliminative, nervous and circulatory systems.
Many physicians attempt to handle chronic pain with medications, but they only mask the pain for a short while and side effects can cause additional symptoms and problems. Natural Chiropractic care targets the cause of the pain instead of trying to mask the symptoms. Our doctors focus on eliminating misalignments. Reducing stress on the body has been shown to be one of the most effective treatments for chronic pain.
