Many patients with chronic pain will be told they need to go to the pain management clinic to decrease and manage the symptoms of pain. Typically, they will give an injection or some type of pharmaceutical to help reduce and control that symptom of pain. This is called pain management. Chiropractic can even be used in this manner. Patients have pain, they go to the chiropractor to get an adjustment to relieve the pain, the pain subsides for a while and then they wait for the pain to return before they visit the chiropractor for another adjustment. If this is your desire, we can accommodate your wishes and provide chiropractic care in this manner. However, if your desire is to eliminate chronic pain, this approach will not work, and you would be frustrated and unhappy with the results. Chronic pain can be eliminated if the time is taken to discover the root cause. Chronic pain can be eliminated when you start to unpeel the layers of neglected hidden Adhesive Scar Tissue that has accumulated over the years. Chronic pain can be eliminated when you start to remove the hidden lifestyle stressors that keep the body in a state of chronic pain. It’s a combination of the doctor and patient equally working together to eliminate the stressors/causes that led the patient to chronic pain in the first place. Chronic pain elimination can be done but requires more time, attention, and resources to get the job done. However, every patient that has eliminated their pain would tell you that it was all worth it and would never want to go back to their old lifestyle of living in pain.
