Do Chiropractors ever use Drugs in Patient Care?
No drugs or medications are used or prescribed in chiropractic care. Chiropractors provide a natural approach to healing that relies on the body’s ability to adapt to changes and heal itself. Typically, chiropractors use ice or heat to help control pain or muscle spasm. When properly applied, these methods can have an analgesic affect without the unwanted side effects of many medications. Here at North Brunswick Chiropractic and Acupuncture, our chiropractors recognize the benefits offered by medications with contagious or infectious diseases, but most drugs only temporarily block pain which merely masks the symptoms. Covering up symptoms is misleading and may prevent you from getting the proper treatments needed to correct the underlying cause of your pain. Turning off a fire alarm doesn’t put out the fire! Chiropractic searches to correct the CAUSE of your condition. If your condition is not responding to care or is outside the scope of chiropractic we will not hesitate to refer you
