Benefits of Drug-Free Low Back Pain Treatment With Chiropractic Care
If you have developed a reliance on prescription painkillers to manage chronic or severe back pain, you may be experiencing unwanted side effects. Prescription painkillers can cause fatigue, loss of concentration, dehydration, constipation, and other health issues. At Smith Chiropractic, Dr. Ammon Jacobson can help you reduce or eliminate your reliance on prescription painkillers. He can use safe, effective, and drug-free chiropractic care to treat your low back pain in Colorado Springs, CO.
Avoid Dependence or Overuse
The longer you take prescription painkillers, the greater your tolerance will be. You will end up needing more and more medication just to function in your daily routine. Eventually, even the highest dose that is safe may not offer sufficient pain relief to allow you to work or take part in your hobbies or other activities. You then run the risk of overuse or an accidental overdose. Chiropractic care unlocks your body’s natural ability to heal itself, without the use of prescription painkillers. Treatment with Dr. Jacobson can slowly reduce your dependency on prescription painkillers and help you regain control over your life and health.
Reduced Risk of Dangerous Side Effects
Prescription painkillers come with a long list of potential side effects and complications. These side effects can keep you from living a healthy life and prevent you from spending time with friends or family. The longer you take prescription painkillers, the more likely you are to develop chronic or long-term side effects. The most common side effects of prescription painkillers are:
- Fatigue or drowsiness
- Inability to concentrate
- Confusion or memory loss
- Nausea or vomiting
- Constipation
- Respiratory issues
- Sleep problems or disturbances
- Weight gain
- Cardiovascular issues
- Clumsiness
Greater Control Over Your Life and Health
When you rely on prescription painkillers to help you get through the day, you may feel constantly anxious or stressed about when you will be able to take your next pill or fill your next prescription. If something prevents you from taking your next dose, you may experience significant pain along with withdrawal symptoms. Reducing your reliance on prescription painkillers and managing your back pain through chiropractic care can help you regain control over your life and health. You’ll have more freedom, less anxiety, and a greater sense of well-being.
