Be aware of the risks
Do you know that the FDA has published warnings that NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) increase the risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke? Many people take NSAIDs on a regular basis in order to relieve mild to moderate pain due to arthritis, injury, etc. Research points out that in the five years that Vioxx was on the market, a very commonly prescribed NSAID, it caused as many as 140,000 heart attacks in the U.S. Instead of covering up symptoms with medication, we perform thorough exams and specific adjustments to treat the cause of pain and inflammation. By treating injury with gentle chiropractic care, we restore function to joints, muscles, and nerves, and can help relieve pain naturally without drugs. Diet and lifestyle changes are recommended as needed to help prevent further injury, pain, and arthritic changes. If you’re interested in alternative and safe treatment, call our office today.
