Deal with the source of your unfllammation and pain and don’t mask the symptoms.
Since pain relievers do have risks, especially with prolonged use, it is important to seek proper medical care. One of your options is chiropractic care.
If you weren’t already aware, chiropractic care is a form of medicine. Some classify it as alternative medicine, as the treatment options are very different.
There is a high difference between the care provided by a chiropractor and a primary care physician.
Chiropractors believe & utilise in manual therapy. This is a natural therapy with the use of the hands and a promotion of preventative wellness care.
