March 2025 Healthy News from Satterwhite Chiropractic Discover Non-Drug Pain Relief Through Chiropractic Care
DISCOVER NON-DRUG PAIN RELIEF THROUGH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Back and neck pain are among the most common causes of chronic discomfort, often leading individuals to rely on opioids for relief. While effective for short-term pain management, opioids carry risks of dependency and side effects. Chiropractic care offers a proven, drug-free alternative that effectively addresses pain at its source, lowering the need for opioid medication.
Chiropractic treatments, such as spinal manipulation and manual decompression, target the root cause of pain by addressing musculoskeletal misalignments. Research supports their effectiveness: a 2025 study by Trager et al. found that chiropractic care for sciatica not only alleviated pain but also led to fewer opioid-related adverse events. (1) Similarly, Kruse et al. (2023) reported that patients with failed back surgery syndrome significantly reduced their opioid use after just three months of manual spinal decompression therapy. (2)
Beyond back pain relief, chiropractic care provides] more benefits by reducing reliance on opioids. This minimizes the risk of addiction and avoids the unpleasant side effects associated with long-term opioid use. Chiropractic treatment empowers patients to take a proactive, holistic approach to their health, fostering long-term recovery and an improved quality of life.
If you're wanting an effective way to manage back or neck pain without opioids, chiropractic therapy is a research-documented alternative backed by science. Experience drug-free pain relief and regain control over your health today.

TIP OF THE MONTH: Try Sit-To-Stand Combo Exercise to Help Your Spine!
Simple exercise is often best! Pairing sit-to-stand exercises with blood flow restriction (BFR) could be a game-changer for those struggling with low back pain. According to a study by Lee KH and Chon SC (2024), this unique combination not only augments pain relief but also fosters muscle growth in individuals with low back instability. (3) Sit-to-stand exercises are simple yet effective for building strength and mobility, while BFR ramps up circulation and triggers muscle adaptation—all without overloading your back. Together, they offer a safe and effective approach for tackling low back pain, helping patients regain strength and stability in their daily activities.
