A Holistic Approach to Pain Management

When it comes to pain management, there's the traditional way and the natural way. The traditional way focuses heavily on treating symptoms with medications. The natural way practiced with chiropractic care seeks to solve underlying problems. A whole-body approach that uses different modalities is much more effective than one that just manages symptoms. If you are seeking pain management, Boca Raton Health and Wellness Center in Boca Raton can offer you relief without medications.

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is the mainstay of any chiropractic clinic. It uses joint manipulation to gently bring your body back into alignment. This reduces pain and increases function. Chiropractic care isn't just for the spine, it can be applied to most joints of the body.

It can relieve many different kinds of pain, including:

• Back pain
• Sciatica
• Nerve pain
• Arthritis
• Migraines

Physical Therapy

In addition to chiropractic care, physical therapy can be very helpful for pain management. Correcting the alignment of the body isn't always enough. Sometimes you need to strengthen or stretch certain areas. If you've fallen into physical habits like bad posture or moving improperly, physical therapy can help you retrain your body to keep you in alignment.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy sounds luxurious, and it is. However, it has many important health benefits as well, particularly if you struggle with certain conditions.

These include:

• Sports injuries
• Auto-immune diseases
• Recently been in an accident
• Experiences chronic stress

There are three types of therapeutic massage. These are deep tissue, Swedish, and lymphatic drainage. Depending on your condition, your chiropractic care may include one or more types of massage therapy. Massage therapy can relieve pain, relieve severe tension, release toxins, and improve circulation.

It's easy to see how a holistic approach to pain management is not only effective but can help heal your body and improve your health. You don't have to suffer from your condition and be a slave to pharmaceuticals. In many cases, a chiropractic care approach to pain management can be used instead of or in addition to standard medical treatment.
