Neck pain is a common ailment that affects people of all ages, whether it’s the result of an underlying condition or a muscle strain. When determining the best course of treatment, you may have to decide between traditional medicine or a holistic alternative, such as chiropractic care.  Here are a few reasons why you should choose chiropractic care as an alternative to treat your neck pain rather than relying on painkillers.

Prevent Addiction

Chiropractic treatment is drug-free and non-invasive; it uses special techniques such as spinal manipulation to reduce pain and inflammation.

No Side Effects

Painkillers often have unwanted side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, or impaired judgment and cannot be taken when operating a vehicle or working. Chiropractic treatment is holistic, which means there are no unwanted side effects, and you can resume your normal activities at the end of your appointment.

Treat Source of Pain

One of the major downsides of pain medication is that it only masks the painful symptoms of a condition for a short period. Chiropractic care treats the source of the ailment by looking at how the nervous system controls body movement and reflexes. They then use techniques to target the problem area and will provide you with a customized plan to prevent repeat injuries or painful symptoms in the future.

 

The more you depend on painkillers for your discomfort, the longer you’ll deal with a lingering issue. Whether you’re experiencing chronic neck pain or persistent migraines, the chiropractic care professionals at Eastern Hills Chiropractic Center in Cincinnati, OH, will create a customized treatment plan to address the source of the condition.
