Chronic pain can have a dramatic impact on your quality of living. It’s more than an inconvenience. Chronic pain, whether it is a dull ache, or a sharp, recurring discomfort can affect your ability to sleep, concentrate, and enjoy daily activities. We at Livewell chiropractic understand that chronic pain is not only physically painful, but also emotionally and mentally draining. We offer a holistic, natural and drug-free approach to help you regain control over your life.

Understanding Chronic Pain

The Chronic Pain is pain that persists for more than three months, even after the original injury or issue has healed. Chronic pain is more complex than acute, because it can have no clear cause and affect different parts of the body. Chronic pain can be caused by a variety of conditions.

  • Arthritis
  • Sciatica
  • Migraines & tension headaches
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Neck pain
  • Nerve damage or neuropathy

Traditional medical treatments such as pain medication and muscle relaxants can provide temporary relief but often have unwanted side effects. They also do not treat the cause. Chiropractic care can help.

How Chiropractic Care Helps With Chronic Pain

Chiropractic care is a unique and effective way to manage chronic pain. Chiropractic care focuses on the underlying disorders of your nervous and musculoskeletal systems, rather than just treating symptoms.

1. Spinal Adjustments for Alignment & Relief

The spinal correction is at the heart of chiropractic treatment. This manual technique corrects subluxations, which can cause nerve pressure and pain in other parts of the body. Chiropractic adjustments restore spinal alignment and help:

  • Reduce nerve interference
  • Blood flow
  • Restore range-of-motion
  • Encourage your body’s natural healing processes

Many patients feel relief in just a few sessions. However, long-term chronic care management requires consistent maintenance and care.

2. Enhancing Nervous System Function

The spine is tightly connected to the nervous system. The spine can become out of alignment and disrupt nerve signals, which affects everything from immune function to pain perception. Chiropractic care regulates these nerve signals and allows the body and brain to communicate more effectively . This plays an important role in managing chronic pain.

3. Holistic and Drug-Free Pain Treatment

Chiropractic care emphasizes healing methods, unlike conventional approaches which often rely upon medications or invasive procedures. Your chiropractor may also include:

  • Manual treatments such as soft tissue manipulation
  • Trigger Point Therapy
  • Rehabilitation exercises
  • Nutritional counseling
  • Posture education and ergonomics

These techniques reduce inflammation, strengthen your body and restore mobility without the side effects associated with drugs or surgery.

“My wife and I moved to the Dunedin area with our newborn to be closer to family, and I couldn’t be happier to call this community home. I’ve been a chiropractor for over 15 years, including eight years running my own practice in Singapore. Along the way I’ve picked up certifications in Lifestyle Medicine from Harvard Medical School and scoliosis treatment through The Clear Institute, plus a lot of continuing education in spinal rehab and kinesiology. But what I enjoy most is simply helping people get out of pain and back to the things they love. That’s what LiveWell Chiropractic is all about.” – Dr. Travis Fisher
