Why Seeing A Chiropractor Can Reduce The Need To Take Medication

By Kim Sargeant


When something feels wrong physically, we want it to stop straight away and effortlessly. So people resort to medication. When your head hurts, you take a headache pill. If you have dysmenorrhea, you take a pain relief tablet for menstruation. If you have joint pains, neck pains, tooth aches and all types of pains, we turn to the trusty pill.

This has long been the regular thing to do. People are accustomed to taking pills to alleviate their pains. But do you really know what pills can do to your body? What occurs if you usually take pills, even if they have been prescribed?

Taking pills is typically not the answer to your headache, stomach ache, back ache or any sort of body ache. You can resort to natural treatments or chiropractic care. It is less expensive and has a tendency to focus less on chemical medicine treatments. Because in truth it isn't the tablet, but the body that does the healing. And that's where natural healing approaches like chiropractic care come in.

Take a look at these scenarios and the reactions by medical experts:

1. "If taking 1 pill makes me feel okay, then, 2 can make me feel better!"

Wrong! There's a thing called over dose. According to Dr. Eric Haynes of Comprehensive Pain Management Partners in Florida, wolfing down 2 pain pills at the very same time is not just bad for you. It does nothing to reduce the pain any quicker. Don't expect the pain killer to take effect in 5 minutes. Don't ingest another pill if it doesn't make the pain go away. If you feel that bad, stop self-medicating and go to your medical professional .

2. "Here, take my pain killer. It works for me. It may work for you too!"

Wrong! Never share your prescriptions with people. Kristen A. Binaso, RPh of American Pharmacists Association stresses that it is never a great thing to share your medicine. The indisputable fact that a particular drug was prescribed to you means it will most likely lessen your pain and health condition. What if the person you share the drug with has allergies? The drug might actually put him in danger.

3. "I feel so sleepy!" (and you experience this while driving)

Taking medication can often result in drowsiness and accidents. Some painkillers have this narcotic complication and make you drowsy. So, if you are on pain medication, don't drive unless you are certain there is no such side effect.

Apart from the above examples, think about the multitiude of other side effects most pills have on your body, particularly over long periods. If you practice natural remedies and chiropractic care, many issues with your nerves can be removed. Painkillers on the other hand only treat the symptoms. Chiropractic care is among the best solutions to treating your body health issues. During pregnancy, a specialist pregnancy chiropractor can provide highly effective relief from pain reducing the need for pain killers.

Prompt professional chiropractic care can avoid the necessity for medication and even surgery. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, prolonged back stiffness, shoulder pain, migraine, hip discomfort and even those with foot pain have found that with chiropractic treatments, they no longer needed pain medication nor did they need surgery.

Now, that is not just decrease in taking pills. With some patients, it is total elimination. Arguably chiropractic care is a valuable alternative to seek out in order to avoid being so reliant upon medication.
