Physical Therapy VS Opioids

No one wants to live in pain. But no one should put their health at risk in an effort to be pain free. Since 1999, Americans have increasingly been prescribed opioids—painkillers like Vicodin, OxyContin, Opana, methodone, as well as, combination drugs like Percocet. In some situations, prescription opioids are an appropriate as a part of medical treatment. However, opioid risks include depression, overdose, addiction, and withdrawal symptoms. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is urging health care providers to reduce the use of opioids in favor of safe alternatives like physical therapy. Don't just mask the pain.  Treat it. Choose to visit Physical Therapy Professionals in Pascagoula to help manage your pain without the risks of opiod side effects. Physical therapy is a NATURAL and holistic treatment. Skip the harmful drugs and call Physical Therapy Professionals today! #PTPros #Pascagoula #PhysicalTherapyClinic #...
