Pain Relief

When you’re hurting, taking a few pills to ease the pain probably doesn’t seem like a bad idea. When you have ongoing pain, however, those pills can pile up to cause a lot of negative side effects. At 1st Choice Chiropractic in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, experienced chiropractic physician Hamzi Naserdean, DC, uses highly effective noninvasive pain relief therapies with an excellent safety and effectiveness record rather than potentially harmful pills. In some cases, treatments like chiropractic adjustments can even get you back on your feet faster than traditional medical approaches. Call the office or click the provided online booking tool now.

When might I need pain relief treatments?

There are two main categories of pain, acute and chronic. Both may require pain relief treatments. 

Acute pain

Acute pain usually happens due to an injury. It starts right away and might be particularly intense early on but fades over the coming days. It’s normal to have some pain after an injury like a strain or sprain. 

However, if the pain doesn’t improve with home therapy methods like ice packs, elevating the injured body part, and rest, you might need pain relief treatments at 1st Choice Chiropractic. If acute injuries don’t start healing fairly quickly, they could become chronic injuries. 

Chronic pain

Chronic pain lasts for three months or longer. It’s most often connected to diseases such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, but problems within your spine such as herniated discs, pinched nerves, and spinal stenosis are also common causes of chronic pain. 

An injury, such as whiplash, can start as an acute issue and later turn chronic if you don’t take the right steps to heal. 

In most cases, it’s best to seek relief as soon as your pain starts. This ensures that you don’t suffer unnecessarily. 

At 1st Choice Chiropractic, pain relief treatments also have a larger goal of correcting the underlying issue. By resolving the root cause of your pain, you can make sure it doesn’t keep coming back.

What types of pain relief treatments are available?

At 1st Choice Chiropractic, Dr. Naserdean recommends natural, noninvasive treatments that don’t require medication. Some of the primary facets of treatment include:

• Chiropractic adjustments to balance your spine
• massage therapy to relieve muscle tension and inflammation
• Physical therapy to stimulate healing and pain relief
• Rehabilitative exercises to restore strength and flexibility
• Cupping therapy to relieve swelling and improve circulation
• Kinesiology Taping to reduce swelling and facilitate comfortable movement
• Nutrition counseling to help you eat the foods that promote healing

In most cases, Dr. Naserdean recommends a combination of treatments to relieve your pain. He tailors every patient’s treatment plan to their personal needs.

How quickly does chiropractic care provide pain relief?

One of the big advantages of the chiropractic approach is rapid pain relief. Chiropractic adjustments and other treatments are incredibly effective, and they’re sometimes even faster in relieving pain than traditional medical approaches. Even better, chiropractic focuses on healing instead of short-term fixes.
