Folsom Chiropractor Says Chiropractic Care May Be Safer and More Effective Than Painkillers

    FOLSOM, CA, January 06, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Most people were raised believing that when you have serious pain, you visit a medical doctor, who prescribes a drug, and the pain goes away. But Folsom Chiropractor, at http://www.chiropracticfolsom.com Dr. Brad Falke claims that this approach to pain relief is analogous to fixing a leaking roof by using a bucket to catch the drips.

"The benefit of chiropractics is that you are actually treating the cause of the pain or illness rather than the symptoms," Dr. Falke explained. "When you use painkillers you are choosing a temporary fix that masks the problem rather than solving it. Chiropractics pin points the cause of the pain, whether it be a spinal misalignment or some other disturbance, and makes whatever interventions and lifestyle adjustments necessary to solve the problem."

When asked about the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care over painkillers and traditional treatments for common pain causing ailments such as sciatica, whiplash and migraines, Falke sited a 1995 study published in the Journal of Manipulative Physiologic Therapeutics.

"There has been and continues to be substantial evidence indicating that chiropractics is much safer than using painkillers, and there is no evidence that painkillers are any more effective at relieving pain than cervical manipulation. So really, neck adjustments get better results and are much safer than taking painkillers."

Many of Dr. Falke's patients at his Folsom chiropractic clinic are turning to chiropractics seeking a drug-free alternative to coping with back or neck pain, and are pleasantly surprised when they find that chiropractics can actually help resolve the cause of their pain rather than merely managing it.

"My chiropractics practice includes so much more than cervical manipulation," Dr. Falke said. "Often there are lifestyle issues going on in a patient's life that when addressed, can significantly improve his or her overall health, including the cause of their pain. We look at pain from every angle and develop a plan that helps patients get well, not just make the pain go away for a little while."

Most patients Dr. Falke sees at Blue Oak Chiropractic suffer from some form of back or neck pain. Headaches and migraines are common as well. "I work with Carpal Tunnel, shoulder pain, hip pain, foot orthotics, sciatica, whiplash, you name it." There has also been a recent movement of people seeking out Folsom chiropractors for lifestyle and nutritional counseling.

Dr. Falke invites anyone suffering from whiplash, sciatica, or any degree of neck or back pain to visit his Folsom chiropractic clinic, Blue Oak Chiropractic, to discover how chiropractics relieve pain and improve your quality of life, for life.
