As part of the complementary therapies offered by Complete Harmony Rehab, we provide chiropractic care to treat pain, spinal alignment issues, and other body imbalances. While many of our chiropractic patients are managing pain conditions that may have led them to opioid abuse, some clients simply use chiropractic to encourage proper nervous system performance or rid their body of toxins.
Benefits of Chiropractic for Addiction Treatment
Acupuncture, chiropractic, yoga, and meditation are all ways of managing pain and stress without the need for drugs. Chiropractic is a natural, non-medicated treatment that can be helpful for migraines, scoliosis, spinal subluxation, sports injuries, and whiplash from auto accidents. Many men and women who try chiropractic care while they reside with us enjoy pain relief and a feeling of improved wellness after one or more visits. Advantages of chiropractic for addiction recovery include:
• Endorphin release (natural pain killers)
• Reduced cravings for drugs or alcohol
• Restored joint mobility or reduced joint pain
• Improved immunity & overall health
• Removal of toxins from soft tissue
• Enhanced sense of peace & wellbeing
There is also research to show that chiropractic care restores appropriate neurological connections between the brain and spine and stimulates receptors that help with optimal brain function.
The connection between chiropractic treatment and addiction recovery was studied at the Exodus Treatment Center in Miami Beach, FL. Jay Holder, a physician and chiropractor, studied nearly 100 people during their recovery program. His research, published in Molecular Psychiatry, found that when chiropractic care was integrated with traditional therapy techniques, participants had a reduced incidence of anxiety, depression, and emotional problems. They were also more likely to complete their rehab program.
