No one wants to live in pain, but no one should put their health at risk in an effort to be pain free.

​

Prescribed opioids are appropriate in some cases, but they just mask the pain- and opioid side effects can include depression, overdose, and addiction, plus withdrawal symptoms when stopping use.

​

That’s why the CDC recommends safer alternatives like physical therapy to manage pain!

​

Physical therapists treat pain through movement, hands-on care, and patient education. By increasing physical activity, you can reduce your pain and also reduce your risk of other chronic diseases!

​
