Rethinking Our Approach to Pain

It’s time to change the way we approach pain. The services of doctors of chiropractic, along with other non-drug forms of pain management, can be an important part of the solution to the opioid epidemic gripping the United States. While medication may be necessary for some patients, there are cases—particularly those involving chronic pain—where a more conservative approach may alleviate pain and even lessen or eliminate the need for prescription painkillers.

The TCA and the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) believes people in pain need better access to drug-free options such as chiropractic services. The TCA and ACA have worked for years to raise awareness of conservative treatments such as chiropractic as a first line of defense against pain.
