Pain Killers or Just Killers?

Recently news broadcasts have informed the public of how well-known pain killing drugs are proven to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal problems, and liver disease.

Practitioners of natural medicine have been warning our patients for years and offering safe and natural solutions to their pain.  There are many herbs used to reduce inflammation and pain.  Hands on modalities like chiropractic adjustments are incredibly powerful pain relievers that remove dysfunction, which often is the underlying cause of pain.  These remedies most often treat the underlying cause of the pain–not just mask the symptoms that the pain causes.

Of course some people will want to take these drugs and an occasional dose may not hurt but these chemicals are powerful.  Remember to ask yourself before taking the next over the counter painkiller, how might this drug may be harming my body.
