What You Need To Know About Maintenance Care For Acute And Chronic Pain With A Summerlin-Las Vegas Chiropractor

By Earnestine Clinger


Pain is never any fun. But, if you happen to suffer from acute or chronic pain, your best bet is to see a chiropractor. Like most people, you have probably consulted with a traditional doctor and tried pain pills already in an effort to alleviate your discomfort.

Sadly, most chronic and acute pain cannot be effectively resolved by the average doctor. More often than not, doctors attempt to use pain management to resolve both chronic pain and the many symptoms it entails. This is just another term for recommending high-risk surgeries or pills. This is not how chiropractors address pain.

If you choose to consult with a chiropractor to obtain care for your acute pain, the goal of this relationship will be to offer immediate pain relief and to assist in the restoration of proper functioning. With this care, appointments are much more frequent and often include: therapeutic massage, spinal adjustments, spinal decompression therapy, ultrasound, and even extremity adjustments.

Chronic pain tends to be longer lasting, though it is very close in relation to acute pain. Cold laser therapy, Kinesio taping and even cupping and acupuncture can be used to lessen pain and lead to recovery.

After having tackled the issue, managed the pain and ensuring that recovery is progressing, it will be necessary to implement a maintenance plan. Wellness care or maintenance is designed to promote continued good health. Appointments are typically scheduled once every few months or once and month and they are intended to improve upon any progress that's been made by you and your chiropractic doctor in terms of the pain issue that you've been dealing with. The primary goal is to eliminate the pain altogether and to make sure that it does not return.

Chiropractic care involves using adjustment therapies to alleviate problems with pain. The body can fall out of alignment due to stress, age, injury and day to day activities which in turn creates illness and pain. Chiropractic tools and therapies can restore proper alignment and a state of pain-free wholeness.

The key is to find a qualified chiropractor with experience in working with those who need maintenance care for chronic and acute pain. Once you do, you will be on track to a life that is truly pain-free.
