September is Drug-Free Pain Management Awareness Month

How Synergy Medical Team is Leading the Fight Against Opioid Dependency

What if we told you there’s a way to get lasting relief from pain without relying on prescription drugs?

For decades, opioids have been the automatic answer to chronic pain. But for too many people, that ‘solution’ has created even bigger problems—dependence, side effects, and no lasting results. The truth is, drug-free pain management isn’t just possible – it’s proven. At Synergy Medical, our patients experience relief that’s safe, effective, and lasting.

This September, Governor Mike DeWine and Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted officially proclaimed Drug-Free Pain Management Awareness Month in Ohio. The proclamation highlights the urgent need to expand natural, non-pharmaceutical solutions—and that’s exactly what we provide here in Marysville.

The Reality of Pain in America—and in Our Community

Over-51-Million-Americans

  • More than 51 million Americans live with chronic pain (CDC, 2024).
  • Up to 85% of people will deal with significant back pain at some point in their lives.
  • Pain is a leading driver of disability and lost workdays across the U.S.

But patients in Marysville don’t have to settle for ‘take these pills and see what happens.’ A better path is already here.

Why Drug-Free Pain Management Matters Now More Than Ever

The Problem with the Pill-First Model

  • Dependence risk: Even well-intentioned prescriptions can trigger addiction.
  • Tolerance buildup: Doses creep up while relief decreases.
  • Underlying issues ignored: The real source of pain goes uncorrected.
  • Unwanted side effects: Digestive issues, fatigue, and brain fog become part of daily life.

The Advantage of a Holistic, Drug-Free Approach

  • Identify and treat root causes of pain.
  • Work with your body’s natural healing systems.
  • Eliminate the risk of addiction.
  • Deliver long-term improvements in health and function—not just short bursts of relief.

Synergy Medical Team’s 5-Pillar Approach to Pain Relief

Drug-Free-Relief

1. Advanced Chiropractic Care

Our chiropractic care goes beyond ‘quick adjustments.’ We take the time to evaluate spinal alignment, correct biomechanical problems, and restore motion where it’s restricted.

2. Advanced Wave Therapy for Deep Tissue Healing

Unlike massage or surface-level approaches, Wave Therapy uses acoustic waves to reach deep into tissues, increase circulation, and accelerate repair at the cellular level. Learn more: https://www.synergymedicalteam.com/services/wave-therapy/

3. Corrective Exercise and Rehabilitation

Muscle weakness, imbalance, or poor movement patterns are often at the root of recurring pain. Our targeted exercise programs retrain your body to move the right way, preventing flare-ups and restoring strength.

4. Nutritional Support & Anti-Inflammatory Protocols

What you put on your plate shows up in how you feel. We guide patients toward anti-inflammatory nutrition and supplements that support healing from the inside out.

5. Lifestyle Counseling

How you sit at work, how you sleep, even how you manage stress—all of these influence pain. We coach you through simple changes that make a big difference in your daily comfort.

The Results Patients Experience

  • Sustainable relief—not temporary masking of symptoms.
  • Better sleep and more energy—because the body isn’t fighting constant inflammation.
  • Improved mobility—getting back to the activities they thought were off-limits.
  • Lower costs over time—fewer prescriptions, fewer follow-up visits, and fewer lost workdays.

Pro Tip: When pain care is focused on the root cause, you don’t just feel better—you get better.
