THE PAIN CRISIS

Chronic pain is a common problem, affecting one in five adults in the United States and one in six adults in New Zealand. (Dahlhamer, et al. MMWR, 2018) 

Despite the substantial healthcare resources and the availability of pharmacological treatment many patients still experience pain. (Dahlhamer, et al. MMWR, 2018). 

Opiate addiction for pain, has become a global epidemic,  and drug overdose deaths have increased twofold in the last decade (Scholl, et al. MMWR Morb, 2018). 

National organizations have called for manual therapies to treat pain. 

Repeated treatments have a cumulative effect, in reducing pain and the improvement of function. 

With repeated treatments, chiropractic care has an cumulative effect, with many patients experiencing progressive reductions in pain and improvement in function.  

Treatment helps through a combination of mechanisms, including modulation of pain processing within the central and peripheral nervous systems, restoration of normal movement patterns, reduction in muscle guarding, and improvements in motor control all lead to an increase confidence and resumption of normal activities. 

Education, exercise, and self-management strategies all play an important role in achieving lasting outcomes and are included in your care.
