Top Reasons to Visit a Local Chiropractor in Roanoke, TX

Posted on 01.4.19 |

Have you often wondered if you should add a local chiropractor in Roanoke, TX to your list of healthcare partners? Many individuals contact Dr. Cody Doyle at (817) 767-5430 to schedule exploratory exams to determine if chiropractic care is the right choice for them. Want to know some of the more common reasons patients prefer having a local chiro on their side? Read on for insights.

1. You were in a car accident.

Car crashes often result in some kind of trauma to the body. Even if you walked away from your accident only a little bruised, you may have suffered health problems that could arise later. For instance, many crash survivors report lingering back and neck pain long after the incident.

A local chiro can help bring your body back to a state of proper balance through spinal manipulation and related treatments. Each visit is an opportunity for you to experience enhanced healing through a safe, nonsurgical approach.

2. You have chronic pain.

Maybe your pain ranges from your lower to middle back. Perhaps you have discomfort in your hips or knees. Regardless, you deserve relief from pain that does not include increasingly high doses of prescription medications or over-the-counter pills.

A chiropractor will discuss your unique pain and then use manipulations to address the underlying problem. Dr. Doyle may also suggest other alternative medicine approaches such as acupuncture to complement your treatment plan.

3. You were diagnosed with allergies.

Does it seem like your world turns into a fog every spring or fall? If allergies leave you groggy and uncomfortable for weeks or months out of the year, talk to your chiropractor. Chiropractic medicine has proven helpful for allergy sufferers of all ages. Even young children with the first signs of allergies can explore chiropractic treatment to lessen the effects of their allergies to pollen, dander, dust, etc.

4. Your job requires repetitive motions.

Do you find yourself repeating the same motion again and again while at work? Repetitive actions can quickly lead to body issues. Even sitting all day and working at the computer can become a source of hip problems, back problems, shoulder issues, and chronically tight muscles.

To help restore your body to a more natural state, Dr. Doyle will perform the appropriate type of adjustment treatment on you at each visit. That way, you can return to your work feeling less fatigued. You may even discover that you start to enjoy work more because it does not leave you as exhausted or worn out at the end of a day.

5. You are trying to lose weight.

The weight loss journey often includes a trip to a local chiro for individuals in Roanoke, TX who are trying to jumpstart a healthier way of life. Poor nutrition can have an effect on the way you carry yourself over time. A chiropractor can activate your body and awaken its natural abilities to heal. This, in turn, can help you shed unwanted pounds because exercise will become easier. When applied in tandem with improved nutrition, chiropractic medicine can be an excellent weight loss treatment tool.

6. You experience migraines.

Do you experience migraines once a month, like clockwork? Do they come out of the blue? Either way, you should consider making a phone call to a chiropractor. Left untreated, migraines can reduce your quality of life. Why let pain steal your days or nights when chiropractic care can provide relief?

Is Pain Management Possible Without More Pills?

Posted on 01.3.19 |

Do you have chronic pain but dislike the idea of getting yet another monthly prescription? If you want to avoid adding more pills to your daily regimen of medications, why not consider the value of chiropractic for pain management? Many individuals have found that regular visits to a chiropractor help manage their pain without the need for more medications. Contact Dr. Cody Doyle in Roanoke, TX by calling (817) 767-5430 to schedule a visit and discuss pill-free pain management treatment options including chiropractic care and acupuncture treatments.

Why Choose Holistic Pain Management?

Patients who have recurring bouts of pain often seek alternative pain management options to increasing their reliance on medicines. There are many reasons for not wanting to add more medications to someone’s daily dosage of pills, including:

  • Worries about tolerance: Certain pain medications lose their effectiveness over time. To combat this fact, patients need to increase their dosages, which can lead to other issues. In some cases, prescriptions may completely lose their effectiveness, meaning a patient has to switch to another pharmaceutical.
  • Worries about dependence: Many individuals are very concerned about the possibility of becoming dependent on painkillers. This is especially true for those who have already shown signs of addictive tendencies, or who have overcome a substance addiction.
  • Worries about cost: Medications can be costly, especially for individuals on a fixed income or whose healthcare plans prefer to pay for other types of treatments, such as chiropractic care.
  • Worries about contraindications: Every time a new medicine is added to an individual’s daily intake, it may lead to sometimes unpleasant or even potentially fatal contraindications with other medications.  
  • Worries about mobility and independence: Certain painkillers make it difficult for patients to safely operate machinery or even drive a vehicle. Patients may be concerned about losing their freedom or ability to keep jobs they love.
  • Worries about general health: Our society has moved toward more holistic approaches to medicine. Taking more pills may be counterintuitive to the holistic healthcare preferred by some patients.
  • Worries about unwanted side effects: Some painkillers have unpleasant side effects, such as increasing the risk of depression, changes in appetite, difficulty sleeping, or lowered libido. Patients may want to consider non-medication forms of pain management to avoid these side effects.

These are all strong reasons for patients to talk with a chiropractor about natural pain management.

How Chiropractic Pain Management Works

Pain management through specifically designed chiropractic and acupuncture treatments involves using diagnostic tools and evaluations to understand the root source of the pain. Dr. Doyle will complete a comprehensive patient examination and then present a pain management treatment plan. The treatment plan will be customized to help the body heal itself and promote lowered pain.

In addition to in-office treatments, Dr. Doyle may also recommend that a patient with chronic pain make behavioral changes such as losing weight, eating anti-inflammatory foods, and performing certain exercises at home. Regardless if the pain stems from an injury, arthritis, or another cause, Dr. Doyle will help minimize discomfort using his 20 years of knowledge and experience. The goal for all patients is a reduction in their daily pain, and an improvement in their peace of mind and quality of life.

Looking for an alternative to NSAIDs and opioids for pain management?

Posted on 10.20.18 |

pain management without nsaidsIf you’ve gone to your general practitioner or pain management doctor seeking relief from chronic pain, you’ve probably been told to take NSAIDS, acetaminophen, or opioids. All of these drugs come with potentially serious negative side effects, particularly if they’re taken long-term or outside of how they are prescribed. If you struggle with pain and are concerned about how NSAIDS and opioids could negatively affect your health, you do have alternatives. Dr. Cody Doyle of Doyle Chiropractic and Acupuncture in Roanoke, Tx offers holistic pain management options to relieve a wide range of pain, including chronic pain.

Why should you consider holistic pain management treatment? Because pharmaceutical treatments pose many risks. Let’s explore the side effects of NSAIDs, acetaminophen, and opiates.

NSAIDs

Called “n-seds,” NSAIDs stands for non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs. They help control moderate pain and inflammation. NSAIDs include:

  • Aspirin
  • Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil)
  • Naproxin (Aleve, Anaprox, Naprelan, Naprosyn)
  • Celecoxib (Celebrex)
  • Diclofenac
  • Etodolac
  • Indometacin
  • Ketoprofen
  • Ketrolac
  • Nabumetone
  • Oxaprozin
  • Piroxicam
  • Salsalate
  • Sulindac
  • Tolmetin

The most common side effects of NSAIDs are nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, and other gastrointestinal issues, as well as drowsiness and dizziness. They can also cause fluid retention, decrease in appetite, rash, and headache. However, chronic use of these medications can lead to kidney and liver failure, ulcers, and increased bleeding with injury or surgery. Some people are allergic to NSAIDS, and allergic reaction generally involves shortness of breath or other breathing problems. Asthmatics are at higher risk for an NSAID allergy.

Oddly, kids given aspirin for the flu or chicken pox may develop Reye’s syndrome, a liver disease that can be fatal.

Elderly patients face an increased risk for heart attack and stroke with all NSAIDs, except low-dose aspirin. People who have undergone coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery should not take NSAIDs; they can cause complications.

Acetaminophen

While acetaminophen (Tylenol) is not an NSAID, it does have the potential to cause negative side effects, particularly in the liver. People who consume a higher-than-average amount of alcohol should steer clear of acetaminophen, as well. The FDA suggests 325 mg or less per pill/capsule, which is what regular-strength Tylenol contains. Extra-strength Tylenol has 500 mg. The normal daily dosage is up to eight extra-strength Tylenol, which is 4 grams of acetaminophen.

Note that a regimen alternating NSAIDs and acetaminophen is often suggested, for lower dosage with similar pain relief results.

Opiates and Opioids (Narcotics)

prescription medicationOpioids are strong pain killers that alter the brain’s understanding of pain by depressing the central nervous system, thus immediately relieving discomfort. Opioids may be prescribed to control a cough, treat diarrhea, or even to help a person overcome addiction to narcotics.  When used for pain relief, opioids are sometimes referred to as analgesic narcotics.

One of Dr. Doyle’s patients reports: “I was prescribed a bottle of 150 hydrocodone pills to control gall bladder pain until I could undergo surgery. I had an insurance situation that forced me to put the surgery on hold. The opiates controlled the pain, but I was a zombie under the influence of hydrocodone. I could not work or function. After my surgery, I had some complications that caused chronic pain and was prescribed more hydrocodone, then later, tramadol and Tylenol 3, which has codeine. Each drug had side effects that exacerbated other symptoms. Dr. Doyle helped me address the underlying issues that caused my pain: leaky gut syndrome, chronic constipation, and irritable bowel syndrome. Most doctors don’t believe in the science behind leaky gut syndrome, and there was no pharmaceutical treatment for IBS that worked on me. It took me a year to find Dr. Doyle after my surgery – and all that time I was on opioids. With them, the pain was debilitating. Also with them, I was a zombie. As a small business owner, my entire life was negatively affected. With Dr. Doyle’s treatment and time, now I no longer needed pain medications. I believe that if I had not turned to acupuncture and Dr. Doyle’s holistic methods, I’d still be on opiates and NSAIDs. Instead, I’m productive and healthy!” – Shauna Duty, Roanoke, Tx

Opiates are drugs made from opium in poppy plants. Opioids are synthetic or semi-synthetic drugs that bind to opioid receptors in the brain. Today, the term “opioid” is used for both natural and synthetic opioids. These drugs include:

  • Morphine
  • Heroin (semi-synthetic)
  • Codeine
  • Oxycodone
  • Oxycontin (semi-synthetic)
  • Hydrocodone
  • Hydromorphone
  • Tramadol
  • Oxycontin
  • Fentanyl
  • Methadone

Tramadol, oxycontin, and fentanyl are synthetic opioids. These can be stronger than natural opiates. For example, fentanyl is 50 times stronger than morphine. A derivation of fentanyl, carfentanil, is 100 times stronger than fentanyl.

Opioid Addiction

Often, people in chronic pain become addicted to opioids for relief. A mental addiction develops. Seeking comfort, they increase the dosage without a doctor’s approval can lead to serious physical and psychological issues. Prescription opioids are often sold on the street, illegally.

The problem is, as a central nervous system depressant, opioids can stop a person’s heart, causing death. They also alter the heart, lungs, brain, and many other vital organs. Even first-time illegal use can cause immediate death, coma, or an erratic heartbeat.

Death caused by overdose of opioids gas surpassed the height of deaths by gun violence (1993) and auto accidents (1972). In 2016, over 63 thousand people died from overdose; two-thirds from opioid overdose. Today, drug overdose is the primary cause of accidental death in our country.

Though Texas is on the low end of states where opioid overdoses occur, our numbers are on the rise – even in Tarrant and Dallas counties. Of the top 25 American cities with the highest opioid overdose fatality rate, four are in Texas.

People who are abusing opioids often show symptoms like sleeping too much or not being able to sleep. They may suffer with anxiety, depression, and mood swings. When battling opioid addiction, withdrawals will occur. If a person is fighting addition to more than opioids (additional drugs or alcohol), serious health risks can occur. A medical professional can help create a plan, with medications to help an addict successfully overcome withdrawal.
