Halloween is just a few days away and as much fun as decorating, pumpkin carving, and trick-or-treating can be, it can also impact your health. From straining and stretching to hang spooky decorations to back pain from walking all evening long with the family, getting in the spirit of things can sometimes cause pain. That’s why it’s important to know the difference between care that is a trick and care that’s a treat. Chiropractic care falls in the treat category for many reasons – here are just a few.
Chiropractic Care is Natural
It seems that we are hearing more and more in the news about the dangers and over-use of prescription medication and are in the midst of an opioid crisis. In many cases, prescription drugs can be lifesaving. But when they can be avoided, why take more of them than you need to? Chiropractic care is an effective treatment for many issues including pain meaning with regular care, you can say goodbye to your back pain without having to make room in your medicine cabinet.
Chiropractic Care is Holistic
Dr. Tina McKay and Dr. Rob Stevens are experts at the functioning of the musculoskeletal system, meaning they know that the entire system works together with no one part standing alone. They also know that sometimes your low back pain may be due to misaligned knees or a subluxation in your shoulders. At Healthy Life Chiropractic, we don’t just treat your lower back to relieve low back pain, we look at your entire body and treat any areas that are contributing to your issues.
Chiropractic Care Gets to the Root of the Problem
We may be seeing plenty of masks (and not just for Halloween), but we don’t believe in masking your pain with treatments that only address your symptoms. Our chiropractors are excellent investigators and will identify the root cause of your pain in order to provide long-term relief. With regular chiropractic care, you will prevent your pain from returning along with many other health benefits.
