March 2025 Healthy News from Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic Discover Non-Drug Pain Relief Through Chiropractic Care
DISCOVER NON-DRUG PAIN RELIEF THROUGH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Back and neck pain continue to be prominent causes of chronic discomfort, resulting in significant dependency on opioids for relief. However, research shows that chiropractic care may be an effective, drug-free alternative, minimizing the need for opioids while effectively managing pain.
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)
Beyond back pain relief, chiropractic care provides] more benefits by decreasing reliance on opioids. This minimizes the risk of addiction and avoids the unpleasant side effects associated with long-term opioid use. Chiropractic care empowers patients to take control of their health safely and holistically, fostering long-term recovery and improved quality of life.
If you're seeking an effective way to address back or neck pain without opioids, chiropractic therapy is a research-documented alternative backed by science. Experience drug-free pain relief and regain control over your health today.

TIP OF THE MONTH: Try Sit-To-Stand Combo Exercise to Help Your Spine!
Keep exercise simple! Combining sit-to-stand exercises with blood flow restriction (BFR) presents a favorable solution for those suffering with low back pain. According to a study by Lee KH and Chon SC (2024), this unique combination not only enhances 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 offer a safe and effective approach for addressing low back pain, helping patients regain strength and stability in their daily activities.
