For many Calgarians living with pain, the first response is often to reach for a pill. Painkillers are everywhere—whether it’s over-the-counter NSAIDs like ibuprofen or stronger prescriptions for chronic discomfort.
But here’s the truth: masking pain isn’t the same as healing. And in many cases, relying on medication long-term can do more harm than good.
At Chinook Chiropractic, we believe in a better way—natural pain relief that treats the root cause, not just the symptoms.
What’s the Risk with Painkillers?
Pain medications may provide temporary relief, but they come with serious downsides:
Stomach issues, liver stress, and heart risks from long-term NSAID use
Tolerance and dependence with opioids and muscle relaxants
Injections that provide short-term relief but no lasting correction
These treatments don’t fix the underlying problem, and they often come with side effects that can impact your overall wellness.
Chiropractic Care: A Safer Alternative
Chiropractic care takes a different approach. We work to restore balance and mobility to your spine, joints, and nervous system—so your body can heal naturally and safely.
