March 2025 Healthy News from Aaron Chiropractic Clinic Discover Non-Drug Pain Relief Through Chiropractic Care
DISCOVER NON-DRUG PAIN RELIEF THROUGH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Back and neck pain are among the most common roots of chronic discomfort, often leading individuals to rely on opioids for relief. While effective for short-term pain management, opioids carry risks of dependency and side effects. Chiropractic care offers a proven, drug-free alternative that effectively addresses pain at its source, reducing the need for opioid medication.
Chiropractic treatments, including spinal manipulation and manual decompression, focus on correcting musculoskeletal misalignments that contribute to pain. According to a 2025 study by Trager et al., patients receiving chiropractic care for sciatica experienced fewer opioid-related adverse events, highlighting its role in reducing dependency on opioid medications. (1) Similarly, Kruse et al. (2023) reported that patients with failed back surgery syndrome significantly reduced their opioid use after just three months of manual spinal decompression therapy. (2)
The benefits of chiropractic treatment go beyond back pain relief. By lessening reliance on opioids, patients escape the risk of addiction and the unpleasant side effects often associated with these medications. Chiropractic care empowers patients to take control of their health safely and holistically, promoting long-term recovery and improved quality of life.
If you’re living with back or neck pain and seeking an effective, science-backed alternative to opioids, chiropractic care offers a safe and trusted solution. With a focus on addressing the root cause of pain, this approach allows you to regain control over your health and well-being.

TIP OF THE MONTH: Try Sit-To-Stand Combo Exercise to Help Your Spine!
Simple exercise is often best! Pairing sit-to-stand exercises with blood flow restriction (BFR) could be a game-changer for those dealing with low back pain. According to a study by Lee KH and Chon SC (2024), this unique combination not only augments pain relief but also fosters muscle growth in individuals with low back instability. (3) Sit-to-stand exercises are simple yet effective for building strength and mobility, while BFR ramps up circulation and triggers muscle adaptation—all without overloading your back. Together, they make a safe, impactful solution to help patients rebuild strength, stability, and confidence in their daily lives.
