Chiropractic is based on the concept of aiding your body to heal naturally through spinal adjustments and lifestyle changes that promote overall health. For Dr. Elganainy, this involves working hard to restore your body's healthy functioning to prevent the need for medications or surgery. We find that most of our Burton patients are pleased to find a natural solution for their health issues.
One benefit of chiropractic care is that it helps people decrease or even eliminate the use of drug treatments. Medications are frequently issued to individuals who have back problems. This is such a serious concern that the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) issued a news release stating that opioid (painkiller) risks outweigh the advantages when administered for back pain.
Some of the most popular opiates, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, include hydrocodone (Vicodin), oxycodone (OxyContin and Percocet), morphine, and codeine. Data supplied by the AAN mention the fact that about half of the patients taking these types of substances for a period of three months are still taking them five years down the road. This can further complicate the problem of back pain and healing, particularly if an narcotic dependency occurs.
Compare that to chiropractic care which involves natural healing and the benefits are clear. While a medication might be useful at briefly suppressing the discomfort of a health problem, it's not a solution to the problem. Drugs don't mend your damaged back; it will only conceal the pain.
Dr. Elganainy will first examine you to get to the origin of your back problems and then work with you to eliminate the problem -- without risky drugs.
