SARASOTA, Fla., Aug. 5, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sarasota Chiropractic, Physical Therapy and Massage in Sarasota, FL is raising awareness about the benefits of natural healing. According to Dr. Abe Kozma, holistic therapies including spinal adjustments, acupuncture and massage treatments are a natural and healthy way to help the body heal. Dr. Kozma recommends that patients who are struggling with pain or injury rehabilitation visit their chiropractor for a diagnostic appointment. These natural treatments may be a more effective alternative to prescription medication or surgical procedures.
Individuals who are struggling with chronic pain or recovering from an injury may benefit from natural healing treatments. According to Dr. Abe Kozma, a combination of spinal adjustments, acupuncture and massage may be more effective at relieving pain than traditional medication.
"Natural, non-invasive treatments promote internal healing by addressing the underlying causes of pain," said Dr. Kozma. "In contrast, medication covers up pain symptoms, which only provides patients with temporary relief. Natural treatments address both the symptoms of pain as well as their cause, which provides long-term pain relief for patients."
According to Dr. Kozma, spinal misalignments are a leading cause of chronic back and neck pain. Everything from a car accident injury to poor posture can cause a misalignment of the musculoskeletal system. When this occurs, a disc may slip out of place, compressing nearby nerves. Pressure on the nerves causes chronic pain.
Dr. Kozma frequently treats patients struggling with sciatica, low back pain or a whiplash injury. He says that many of these patients seek treatment at his wellness center when they are unable to find relief from traditional medical care.
Faced with the choice of invasive surgery or a reliance on medication, Dr. Kozma says that these patients turn to chiropractic care. They hope that spinal adjustments can finally correct their underlying mechanical misalignments and provide natural pain management.
"Restoring proper spinal alignment is a key contributor to long-lasting pain relief. As long as a mechanical misalignment persists, then patients will experience pain. Medication cannot correct spinal alignment. Spinal adjustments can," said Dr. Kozma.
Dr. Kozma also recommends natural treatments as part of a whole body wellness program. Massage therapy and acupuncture may help promote internal healing while naturally relieving pain.
"My goal is to enhance each patient's well-being," said Dr. Kozma. "Our treatments go beyond back pain relief and injury rehabilitation. We create custom treatment programs that incorporate adjustments, acupuncture, physical therapy and massage therapy to optimize overall health."
According to Dr. Kozma, these complementary therapies not only relieve pain, but also enhance overall health.
"Following our treatments, many of our patients report having more energy, sleeping better at night, and being more alert during the day," said Dr. Kozma. "Proper spinal alignment truly improves all aspects of our patients' health."
