In this weeks video health tip, Dr. Matthew Davis, director of Crossroads Chiropractic, shares important information looking at the best drug free treatment for amateur athletes—chiropractic care.
Most professional and amateur athletes are only one fall, twist or tweak away from a possible injury and unfortunately an opioid prescription.
With the opioid crisis claiming thousands of lives and leaving countless more addicted, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have urged physicians to stop prescribing the drugs.
According to a survey conducted for the Boston Globe by SERMO, a global social network for physicians, more than half of doctors have cut down on prescribing opioids and one in ten physicians have stopped prescribing these drugs all together.
So where are amateur athletes going for pain relief??? The most popular alternative is drug-free chiropractic care. Whereas opioids and other over-the-counter drugs only mask the pain, chiropractic adjustments address the structure and function of the athlete’s body to help enhance flexibility, muscle strength, and range of motion.
So whether you are a professional athlete or just a weekend warrior who finds yourself looking for relief from an injury, chiropractic care will offer you the best treatment to get you back out on the court, trail or links, along with showing you how to reach your next level of health!
