Back Pain: Will You Become One of the Opioid Statistics?

February 28, 2020

Living with back pain is not normal

Did you know back pain is a problem shared by more than half of all working adults in the United States?1 And that’s just a statistic from a single clinical study not accounting for non-working people! Think of how much more pervasive the problem must be when considering at-home moms and dads or students in school.

 

Solutions to this wide-reaching problem are nearly everywhere. However, many respected healthcare groups have turned to prescribing medications, namely prescription opioids, to combat the back pain issue- the condition for which most opioids are prescribed. But those medical groups are now seriously rethinking their decisions as a result of the now well publicized opioid epidemic affecting almost 1,000 people a day who visit emergency rooms as a result of opioid misuse.2

At Chattanooga Integrated Medicine Center, we have solutions to keep back pain sufferers who enter our doors from becoming one of the statistics. Prescription medications are simply not our answer, nor are they what’s best for the patient.

The fact is, we know spinal manipulation is a safe and effective non drug treatment which reduces pain, rapidly advances physical therapy, and requires very few passive forms of treatment, such as bed rest. And the healthcare community is taking note.

 

Our doctors take an integrated approach to your healthcare, considering all aspects of what may be causing your pain. Through constant diligence, spending the needed time to correctly diagnose and treat back pain with respect to each individual’s need, Dr. Jeff Hall and the CIMC team have made it a priority to successfully alleviate back pain in countless patients. We have made it a priority to develop techniques and programs designed specifically to stop your pain and get you back to normal.

 

We strongly believe the last resort to dealing with chronic back pain is to simply medicate or leave you with the option of spinal surgery.
