5 Signs You May Need Chiropractic Care Consultation
A lot of the aches and pains that we experience in daily life can be solved with Chiropractic care. If you haven’t visited a Chiropractor yet, here are some signals that it may be time to pay a visit.
1. Daily Troubles
You are having trouble with your daily activities: getting dressed, preparing meals, taking care of children, shopping, getting through your workday without pain, exercise and sports are limited.
2. Medication Avoidance
You want to avoid opioid medication. Patients who see a chiropractor are 50% less likely to fill an opioid prescription than patients who don’t.
3. Prolonged Pain
You might need to visit a chiropractic professional if you’ve had pain for longer than 3 weeks without seeing improvement in symptoms.
4. Usual Remedies No Longer Work
Your pain is not responding to more conservative treatments like over-the-counter medications, hot packs, or topical pain relievers.
