Pain Management in Palm Beach Gardens
Many people believe that reducing pain can only be accomplished through the use of medications. But that’s not always the case! At Preferred Chiropractic, we help patients minimize or eliminate pain every day. Dr. Steve has nearly three decades of experience locating the underlying cause of pain and correcting it.
Pain Is a Warning Signal
Pain is your body’s way of telling you something is wrong. So, pain relieving drugs often do NOT treat the cause of pain.
One thing patients don’t often realize is: the event they think caused their pain may not have been the original problem. It was however simply the straw that broke the camel’s back, so to speak.
Past injuries and overuse can create inflammation and if left unattended, scar tissue may form in the body over time. If those conditions are left uncorrected, someday you may bend over to tie your shoes and your back may go out or you may feel acute pain. Tying your shoes didn’t cause the problem; it simply created a situation that alerted you to an underlying problem.
Our Approach to Pain
Dr. Steve will do a thorough exam and take X-rays…. if needed, to locate the underlying cause of your pain. He’ll explain what’s going on and how we may be able to help, and he will create a plan designed specifically for your situation. For example, if your muscles are in spasm, we won’t want to adjust you right away. We’ll incorporate other healing modalities to reduce the inflammation and tension in the muscles. Once the muscles have eased up, we can begin to gently adjust. In fact, on most patients, he’ll do some kind of soft tissue work prior to the chiropractic adjustment. This helps to relax the muscles and allows the body to be more receptive to the adjustment.
Conditions We Can Help
We have had excellent results reducing or eliminating pain in many types of conditions, including

Our goal…as stated many times on this website is to get you out of pain as quickly and effectively as possible. In most cases, we see a marked improvement within a couple of visits. If there is heavy muscular involvement and or scar tissue formation, we’ll generally suggest seeing you slightly more frequently in the first week in order to to expedite pain relief.
Auto Accidents
We recommend coming in for care immediately after a car accident; even if you don’t feel any pain at first. Pain often develops over the following few days, after the adrenaline has worn off. In a typical car crash case, we can help resolve the bulk of the pain in about two-three weeks time, and care will continue until good forward progress slows. As with all of our care, our plan will be tailored to your specific injury and specific goals.
