Chiropractic Care for Pain Management

Millions of people live with pain on a daily basis simply because they feel they must. Repetitive motion injuries, sports injuries, spinal misalignments, congenital defects, and a host of other conditions can lead to chronic, unremitting pain. Many people think the only solution for their pain is an expensive, potentially crippling surgery or pain medications. Fortunately, 34th Street Chiropractic and Wellness offers Midtown West Manhattan pain management solutions which are non-invasive and drug free.

Our bodies undergo far more punishment on a daily basis — and over the course of an active lifetime — than many of us realize. Some of this damage may seem to occur suddenly, frequently accompanied by sharp, acute pain, but in fact many months or years may have gone into its development. Office workers who “suddenly” come down with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, for instance, may have spent a lifetime keyboarding or mousing at awkward wrist angles. Repetitive motion injuries can also occur as a side effect of long commutes as well as many hours in front of the computer.

Even everyday standing, sitting, or walking can lead to chronic pain if spinal misalignments exist. Misaligned vertebrae can tug on muscles unevenly, making you more prone to painful injuries. These vertebrae also press on nearby nerves, which then transfer their distress throughout your body. The result is chronic pain.

People with chronic pain may turn to medication for relief, but this form of relief is temporary and usually presents its own unwelcome side effects. Effective pain management requires addressing the roots and causes of the pain not just the symptoms. In the past, pain from a herniated disc or other spinal problem generally meant major surgery, and even today many pain sufferers undergo fusions and other invasive procedures as their pain management solution. Such surgeries are irreversible, expensive, and can be physically traumatic, requiring a lengthy recovery that keeps from your work and your life. Worse yet, some surgery patients experience little or no pain relief.
