Discover How Your Kent WA Chiropractor Helps Chronic Pain

By Bob Albert Lewis


Daily pain is one of the most difficult things to live with. Pain can totally disrupt your life and make it impossible to think about anything else but making the pain go away. Your Kent chiropractor understands pain and is there to help you find relief through holistic and natural care.

Many people only have one resource for taking care of chronic pain. They must have regular pain injections or take potent pain medications on a daily basis. These drugs can be highly effective for short term pain relief, but when used for long term problems, complications can soon develop.

Over time, the body builds up a tolerance to many drugs and you need more medication to kill the pain. If you take too much pain medication or mix it with alcohol or other drugs, you could develop serious or even fatal reactions. Even over the counter drugs can cause stomach bleeding and serious digestive upsets if taken every day.

Some very potent pain medications are addictive if taken all the time. In fact, these drugs can soon become the focal point of your life. In other words, you must have the drugs or you will suffer serious withdrawal symptoms which can be worse than the chronic pain you are trying to avoid.

Modern chiropractic care does not rely on drugs to take care of pain. Instead, therapy is focused on the actual reason for the pain. Once you understand why you are hurting, and correct the problem, the body begins to heal itself and in time, the pain can be a thing of the past. This is the safest way to care for long term pain.

Your Kent chiropractic professional is there to examine you and provide a consultation to help you understand the reason for your pain. The chiropractor is very thorough and may use several types of tests to determine your reason for pain. You may have several therapy options including physiotherapy, cryotherapy, exercise, and chiropractic adjustment. Before long your pain may be much better.
