Pain Myth Busted: Chronic Pain Doesn't Mean Chronic Refills
Did You Know...
You've probably heard that the best approach to chronic pain is to grin, bear it, and keep on keeping on. But, take it from us, ignoring it won't just test your endurance—it will only help make sure it sticks around longer.
And if you've been lucky enough not to experience chronic pain, you might think finding relief is as simple as a trip to the pharmacy.
Well, while medications can seem like an easy way out... it's a bit like using a band-aid to fix a pothole. Real, sustainable relief isn't found in a pill. You've got to get to the root cause of the issue, and that's what we're here to help you do!
Why It Matters
And get this. Most leading healthcare organizations now recommend non-pharmacological treatments for the care of chronic pain, including chiropractic.
