Patients that suffer from chronic pain have few medical alternatives. As a chiropractor, I can tell you that they get tired of taking medications that only cover the pain, make them feel sick, and cause stomach and liver diseases, and in some cases, death.
I see them in my office every day. They are looking for ways to control their pain without the empty promises of medication. A study at the University of Michigan showed that 1/3 of patients that suffer from chronic pain report using alternative medicine. The most common of which were Chiropractic, Acupuncture, and Bio Feedback.
Medical physicians are waking up to the fact that patients are looking for alternatives. Yet an interesting thing about the study, however, is that many of the patients do not report to their medical doctors that they are seeing alternative medicine practitioners. Could it be that they are worried about being chastised, humiliated, or even ostracised? I have had patients in my office whose medical doctors have refused to see them because they were getting treatment from me. I have had other medical doctors tell my patients that they should discontinue care with me because I could kill or hurt them. What a shame. Hopefully, as more studies like this become public, medical doctors will open their minds and will continue to shift their perceptions. Chiropractic care, acupuncture, and bio feedback are safe and affective treatments for pain, much more safe than many of the drug and surgical alternatives.
