Find a Chiropractor at Veeva Chiropractic Clinics

According to a CNN article, per the U.S. CDC, over 51 million, or over one in five American adults, experience chronic pain. Nearly 7% of adults, or 17 million people, also have high-impact chronic pain. With such high rates, chronic pain has become more common than many other long-term health woes, such as diabetes and hypertension.

If you experience pain yourself, it may be time to consider seeking the help of our Veeva chiropractic doctors. Whether you have acute (short-term) or chronic pain, you can rely on our chiropractors in Oregon and Washington to help with its control, management, and treatment.

In this guide, we’ll discuss why you should consider chiropractic treatment, its benefits, and how the chiropractic doctors at Veeva can help, so please read on.

Why Consider Chiropractic Care?

Prescription pain medications can be helpful for pain management, but they can also be dangerous and addictive. As WebMD points out, opioid pain relievers are among the most commonly abused and misused drugs in the United States. They pose a high risk of dependence and addiction if used in the long run.

Chiropractic care provides a drug-free alternative. It’s a holistic approach based on the concept that the body can heal and recover through physical, hands-on interventions and manipulations. It involves realigning the joints and spine to help relieve discomfort and pain.

Because chiropractic treatment doesn’t involve using medications, it can play a role in helping curb or prevent opioid dependence. Moreover, it’s non-invasive and non-surgical.

So, if you’re looking for a way to minimize your need to take pain medications for your condition, chiropractic care may be a suitable option for you.

How Veeva Chiropractic Doctors Can Help

At Veeva, our chiropractic services in Oregon and Washington include a treatment plan tailored to each patient’s needs. In addition to general musculoskeletal pain, our experienced Doctors of Chiropractic can provide chiropractic sports care. They can also help if you need pain relief from injuries caused by car accidents.

Sports Injuries

Veeva has a certified chiropractic sports physician, Dr. Darcy Ogloza. We also have Dr. Kristen Brennan, who has undergone training in sports injuries, and Dr. David “Dayxe” Rief, who provides specialty care with a foundation in weightlifting.

Our certified sports chiropractor, Dr. Ogloza, specializes in chiropractic sports therapy for injuries caused by athletic activities such as:

• Golf
• Basketball
• Rock climbing
• Football
• Running
• Weight lifting

In addition to helping you find relief from sports-related pain, our sports chiropractor can also create a preventative treatment plan. By using his expertise as a sports injury chiropractor, Dr. Ogloza can provide you with continuing care. With this approach, you can reduce your risks of sustaining sports-related injuries in the future.

Pain Caused by Auto Accident Injuries

According to DriverKnowledge.com, an estimated six million car crashes occur annually in the United States. They result in about three million people in the country sustaining injuries that extend beyond wounds.

If you’ve been in a car crash yourself, you may have developed injuries that now cause you:

• Neck pain
• Shoulder pain
• Middle and lower back pain
• Reduced mobility and range of motion
• Headaches

Veeva chiropractic doctors are knowledgeable and experienced in the many injuries that car crashes can cause. They can help diagnose and treat your injuries before they worsen and force you to rely on potent medications that may do more harm than good.

Pain From Work Injuries

According to the most recent data from the National Safety Council (NSC), overexertion and bodily reactions are among the most common causes of work injuries. From 2021 to 2022, over a million cases led to days away from work, job restriction, or transfer (which the NSC refers to as “DART”). Contact with objects and equipment, slips, trips, and falls are also prevalent.

If you’ve had an accident at work or overworked yourself to the point that you feel achy, consider seeking the help of our experienced chiropractors at Veeva. They can provide you with a comprehensive checkup to diagnose the root cause of your symptoms. They will create a personalized treatment plan to manipulate your joints and realign your spine.

By addressing your work-related injuries and pain symptoms now, you can avoid the consequences of DART. And since chiropractic treatment can help reduce pain, it can make you feel better and may even help improve your work focus and productivity.

Fall Injuries

While slips, trips, and falls often happen at the workplace, they can happen anywhere, including at home. You may even experience one while walking outside on Oregon’s or Washington’s icy, slippery roads during winter. It may also occur when you’re somewhere, like a mall or a commercial building, with slick or ill-maintained floors.

Regardless of how a slip, trip, or fall occurs, these incidents can lead to painful injuries and symptoms such as:

• Sprains and strains
• Neck, shoulder, and back pain
• Stiffness
• Numbness or tingling sensation
• Headaches

If you experience those symptoms after a slip, trip, or fall, you may have developed musculoskeletal injuries. If you’re wondering how headaches can fit into the picture, they can result from trauma to the neck. They can also occur due to tight shoulder, upper back, and neck muscles.

You don’t have to “live” with the pain, hoping it will pass soon with some rest. Instead, consider speaking with one of our chiropractors at Veeva. Through their expertise, they can help address and treat your pain points before they worsen and become even more painful.
