In this video we make a case for chiropractic as a first line defense for pain management, drawing this assertion on three main points: that chiropractic is safe, affordable, and effective. Surgery and drugs are necessary at times, but are over-used in this country when other, more conservative, approaches with fewer complications and greater affordability are available and often times more optimal for the patient. We believe that the first stop for pain management should be chiropractic and that surgery and drugs should only be used when safer alternatives fail to generate results.
