Chiropractic care is typically considered more cost-effective than the traditional medicine approach to spinal and joint pain. The traditional approach typically consists of medication, steroid injections, and sometimes even surgery. Standard medical care is effective when necessary, but it’s invasive and can have side effects. These unwanted side effects can potentially be avoided if chiropractic care is sought first. If you have pain that has not responded to other forms of healthcare, chiropractic care may be the final solution to your problem.
