Chronic pain can result in depression and feelings of hopelessness. It doesn't have to control your life. When you work with a chiropractor specializing in chronic pain, they will provide you with a pain management plan to improve your quality of life. We can help at Dr. Pershing's Office in Montgomery, AL. Our chiropractor will evaluate your pain and try to find its underlying cause. While your pain is being managed, our chiropractor can correct any abnormalities and eliminate the original cause. Read below to discover more information about chronic pain.
What Makes Pain Chronic?
There are two types of pain. Acute pain is short-term, stabbing, and sharp pains that indicate a recent injury. Chronic pain, on the other hand, lasts longer than a few months and is considered more of an ache or deep, throbbing pain that varies in intensity. An injury that does not heal properly or constantly overworked joints is a common cause of long-term, chronic pain.
Address the Cause of Your Pain
Just because you have chronic pain doesn't mean your chiropractor can find the solution to relieve lower back pain. To eliminate your pain, you need to address what is causing it. Your chiropractor can discover the cause of your pain, usually an injury or condition like arthritis, and create a treatment plan that restores your body's natural balance. Once the original cause has been addressed, healing will begin, and your chronic pain will subside.
Prevent Chronic Pain
Although we cannot eliminate all chronic pain, with regular chiropractic care and a positive lifestyle, you can prevent chronic pain before it becomes significant. Visiting your chiropractor will help maintain your body's natural balance and keep your pain levels minimal. We can also address your injuries so they don't result in long-term chronic pain and discomfort.
