If you suffer from chronic or acute pain, the first thing on your mind is to get rid of it. Sharp pain isn’t only unbearable, but it also affects every aspect of your life. Your first instinct – and most likely your primary care doctor’s advice – would be to turn to opioids for effective pain relief. While they work to ease your symptoms, all they’re doing is temporarily masking the real problem while creating an addiction and eating away at your earnings. 

If you’d rather not go down the opiate rabbit hole but you’re still desperate to make the pain stop, don’t despair. There’s a safe and natural alternative to pain relief that doesn’t involve medications – and that’s chiropractic care. 

Once viewed as an alternative form of medical care, chiropractic is quickly becoming recognized as a viable treatment for injuries and chronic conditions. Its manual manipulation tactics heal the neuromusculoskeletal system for holistic treatment that enhances your quality of life. Here at Northgate Chiropractic Clinic, our three resident doctors are highly qualified and genuinely invested in addressing and treating your condition with unrivaled care. 

Why Chiropractic Care is the Better Pain Relief Option 

According to one study published by the American College of Physicians, chiropractic should be considered before opioids as a method to treat pain. That’s because it's natural and comprehensive strategies cure the problem at its root while increasing overall wellness. Moreover, chiropractic is far safer than opioids. It also costs less while putting an end to your pain, rather than creating a long and drawn-out process in which you are constantly battling your pain. 

Our chiropractors at Northgate will not only focus on the problem itself but also your overall lifestyle for strong and long-lasting results. We feature exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle modification courses to minimize the risk of further injuries.
