Relieve Your Pain Without the Adverse Effects of Opioids
Did you know that pain relief is possible without the use of drugs?
As stated by the APTA website, “The White House has announced that APTA is among the organizations that have joined a public-private partnership to combat opioid usage and prescription drug abuse, and that the association will reach out to the public and its members to deliver the message that pain can be effectively managed through conservative, non drug approaches.
Physiotherapists can help individuals manage pain, and greater use of physiotherapy could make a real impact on the tragic levels of drug abuse in this country—abuse that often begins with a prescription for pain medication.”
If you are ready to find relief without the side effects of opioids, contact Nova Physiotherapy in Bedford today.
