Susceptibility To Physical Pain In Greenville SC

Our susceptibility to physical pain can come from many factors, and the types of pains we are susceptible to can vary from person to person. For example, veterans are found to be at risk of chronic pain due to such a physically demanding career. Not only are veterans highly susceptible to physical pain, but they are also likely to experience PTSD or depression, to be smokers, and to have substance use disorder. When it comes to their pain management, it's not uncommon to want to treat the symptoms to provide relief.

Unfortunately, for many veterans, this means heavy medication use, often including addictive, and sometimes dangerous opioid medication such as oxycodone and hydrocodone. However, what would happen if veterans' pain was looked at from a different approach, in which addressing the cause of health concerns was the main focus rather than just managing symptoms?

THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS HAS DOCUMENTED A SIGNIFICANT DROP IN OPIATE USE IN VETERANS WITHIN 30 DAYS OF IMPLEMENTING CHIROPRACTIC CARE.

Pain Medicine Study

A study published in Pain Medicine looked at the rates of opioid usage among veterans before and after starting chiropractic care. 31% of veterans studied had been prescribed opioids, 56% were in moderate to severe pain, and 20% were diagnosed with a substance abuse disorder.

What researchers found was astonishing: the rate of opioid usage among these veterans significantly dropped within the first month of starting chiropractic care. For those who put their lives on the line to serve our country, this is AMAZING!

Military members who receive both care by a doctor of chiropractic and "usual medical care" have increased low back pain relief and function!

By working to eliminate the cause of pain rather than merely treat the symptoms, we can let our bodies heal. Chiropractic care allows each of our bodies to function at 100% of our best: because not only do our veterans deserve it, so do you!

If you currently serve in our active military or a veteran, we would be honored to serve you!
