Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Will I receive any medication for my pain?
A. Because chiropractors rely on the natural recuperative powers of the body,
medication is not commonly used with chiropractic care. Typically, chiropractors
use ice
or moist heat to help control pain or muscle spasm. When properly applied, these
methods can have an analgesic affect without the unwanted side effects of many
medications. Chiropractors and medical doctors now enjoy strong working relationships.
In severe cases, referrals may be made to other health care professionals if
services outside of the scope of
chiropractic are needed.
