Chronic Pain: Seeking A Second Opinion
What is Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain is pain that lasts weeks, months, or even several years and can happen in any part of the body. This type of pain can be debilitating and a fierce cycle. Lack of sleep, stress, reduced mobility, restricted daily activities, and reduced quality of life are just a few of the ways chronic pain can interrupt your life.
Why is a Second Opinion Important?
When faced with a medical issue, getting a second opinion can save money, time, and your overall health. There are many instances where surgeries and medications are highly suggested, but not necessary.
At Midwest Pain Solutions, we have many patients who are told they need surgery — knee, hip, shoulder, etc. — when, in reality, they don’t need surgery, they need our treatment to heal their bodies.
Dr. Jackson faces patients daily who are told they need to move forward with surgeries but would like a second opinion before making such a big decision. After reviewing X-rays, often times Dr. Jackson is able to treat the problem instead of fully replacing it or masking the pain with medications.
Our most common situations involve patients being told they need surgery because their joints are “bone-on-bone,” when there is still cartilage present. If there is a sliver of cartilage, we are able to treat and resolve the problem through our chiropractic adjustments, shockwave therapy, and high-intensity laser therapy.
Getting a second opinion is a smart decision with any medical issue. Receiving a different perspective from another doctor can put your mind at ease, and trying an alternative solution can save money, health, and recovery time. Keeping original bones and joints can be better in the long run – artificial is not always better.
At Midwest Pain Solutions, our therapies are an alternative to surgeries, injections, and medications. Our therapies are non-invasive and drug-free!
