Chiropractors take a drug-free approach to pain management and the treatment of chronic and acute conditions. You might consider drug-free pain management in Douglasville, GA if you are in recovery, want to avoid harsh side effects and complications, or want to avoid drug overuse or becoming dependent on prescription medications. Take a look at common drug-free treatment options used by Health For Life Chiropractic.     

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care focuses on relieving pain, improving mobility, and helping the patient achieve optimal health and wellness. Chiropractic therapies are non-invasive, which means they are not surgical. At your first visit, our chiropractors will evaluate your health, conduct a thorough physical examination, and complete testing to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms. They will then design a customized chiropractic treatment plan designed to address your underlying condition and ease your symptoms so you can get back to living a full life. 

Physical Therapy & electrical physiotherapeutic modalities

Both physical therapy and electrical physiotherapeutic modalities focus on healing chronic and acute conditions and providing pain relief. electrical physiotherapeutic modalities relies on manual, hands-on treatment options that include therapeutic exercises and stretches, massage therapy, and other soft-tissue therapies. Physical therapy takes an exercise-based approach to therapy by incorporating strength training, exercises, and stretches that build core strength, reduce pain and inflammation, increase circulation and blood flow, and improve mobility. 

Occupational Therapy

Like physical therapy and physical therapy, occupational therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free pain management option that focuses on building strength, reducing pain, and promoting healing. Occupational therapy focuses on improving each patient’s daily life by developing a treatment plan that helps patients adapt or modify daily activities so they can be completed without pain or discomfort. Occupational therapists help patients improve fine motor skills and develop coping strategies that reduce their reliance on outside intervention. 

Diet & Lifestyle Changes 

In addition to chiropractic care and therapy, our chiropractors will also advise you on how to make changes to your diet and lifestyle to improve your chances of a full recovery. They may recommend a diet and supplements that are rich in nutrients that support healing, tissue and cell regrowth and combat inflammation and tissue degeneration. They may also recommend therapeutic exercises you can do at home, and suggest that you get more sleep, avoid alcohol and nicotine, drink more water, and avoid stress.
