If you live in or near Gun Barrel City, TX, and need a helping hand with inflammation reduction, come see Dr. Angel Santiago. Many different injuries and conditions can result in chronic and severe inflammation. Fortunately, a chiropractor may be able to provide lasting relief.
Dr. Santiago started his path to become a chiropractor after struggling to find relief for injuries suffered while serving in the Navy. Ultimately, chiropractors were able to help when many other professionals fell short. Now, Dr. Santiago strives to help local residents secure the healing and relief that they also deserve.
A Hands-On Approach for Inflammation
Many over-the-counter (OTC) drugs can provide relief for minor cases of inflammation. Unfortunately, such medications often prove insufficient for dealing with chronic issues like arthritis. The relief soon wears off, and worse, over time the pain and inflammation often get more severe while the medication grows less and less effective.
Rather than relying on medication, chiropractors can use hands-on techniques to reduce and relieve muscle tension and encourage healthy blood flow. This can reduce inflammation in various tissues as the blood delivers healing nutrients.
Arthritis is inflammation of the joints and commonly strikes the limbs, as well as the spine. Even if you don’t have arthritis, an injury or other condition might lead to inflammation. The good news is that Dr. Santiago can work directly with your extremities to reduce tension. This could slow the progression of chronic conditions and improve recovery after acute injuries, such as an overextended joint. If you live in or near Gun Barrel City, TX, and need assistance with inflammation reduction, it’s time to see Dr. Santiago.
A Holistic Approach to Lasting Care
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to reducing inflammation. It’s important to work with experts. It’s also a good idea to use a variety of approaches. While anti-inflammation medication may certainly have a place in a holistic treatment plan, overlying on medication can be dangerous.
Medication can fuel dependency. It can also be habit-forming and may lead to addiction. Even outside of these risks, medication will typically lose effectiveness as you take dose after dose. This is often because the body will start to resist the medication. Chiropractic care, on the other hand, builds momentum by helping your body heal and recover. Each treatment session may prove more effective than the last, and soon you may no longer need assistance.
