Chiropractic Kissimmee FL Taking A Stand Against Opioids

Bottom Line:

About 30 years ago, the medical community shifted how they thought pain should be addressed.

"Pain is a 5th vital sign" became a rallying cry, and new medications were created to block pain… at all costs.

We now know that these medications created a never-before-seen healthcare epidemic.

In fact, we now know these drugs weren't very good at addressing chronic pain in Kissimmee FL in the first place.

What's more, they require larger and larger doses to achieve an effect over time.


Why it Matters in Kissimmee FL:

Taking a stand against opioids starts with us.

The data is clear.

People are looking for solutions for chronic pain that extend beyond a prescription.

Nearly all primary healthcare organizations have now advocated for a non-pharmacological approach to pain care like the care we provide.

Did you know...

  • Chronic pain is described as biopsychosocial, which means that it's complex and has many dimensions.
  • Over 40% of blogs relating to opioids are focused on people trying to find solutions "beyond the pill".
  • The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and others have recommended that a non-pharmacological approach to chronic pain should be the first line of treatment.

Next Steps:

Together, we can end the opioid crisis by breaking the cycle of chronic pain with natural and effective healthcare choices.

Creating personalized, goal-oriented, and coordinated care plans is critical.

That's why our practice starts each patient journey with a complete and thorough evaluation.

Our evaluations help us understand your history, your goals, and your current challenges.
