When something feels wrong physically, we really want it to end straight away and easily. So people resort to medication. When your head hurts, you take a headache tablet. If you have dysmenorrhea, you take a pain relief tablet for menstruation. If you have joint pains, neck pains, tooth aches and all sorts of aches, we look to the trusty pill.
This has traditionally been the regular action to take. Most people are habitually taking pills to reduce their pains. But do you know what pills can do to your body? What will occur if you regularly take pills, even if they are prescribed?
Taking pills is typically not the answer to your headache, stomach ache, back ache or any kind of body ache. You can resort to natural cures or chiropractic care. It is less expensive and tends to focus less on chemical medicine treatments. Because in truth it is not the pill, but the body that does the real healing. And this is where natural healing approaches like chiropractic care come in.
Take a quick look at these scenarios and the reactions by medical experts:
1. "If taking 1 pill makes me feel good, then, 2 can make me feel better!"
Wrong! There's a thing called over dosage. According to Doctor. Eric Haynes of Comprehensive Pain Management Partners in Florida, gulping down 2 pain pills simultaneously is not only bad for you. It does nothing to ease the pain any quicker. Don't expect the pain tablet to take effect in 5 minutes. Do not consume another tablet if it does not make the aching disappear. If you happen to feel that bad, quit self-medicating and go to your local health professional .
2. "Here, take my pain tablet. It works for me. It may work for you too!"
Wrong! Never share your prescriptions with other people. Kristen A. Binaso, RPh of American Pharmacists Association stresses that it is never a great thing to share your medicine with others. The indisputable fact that a particular drug was prescribed to you implies that it will probably alleviate your symptoms and specific condition. What about if the person you share the drug with has allergies? The drug might actually put him at risk.
3. "I feel so sleepy!" (and you experience this while driving)
Taking medication can often lead to drowsiness and accidents. Some painkillers have this narcotic side-effect and make you drowsy. So, if you are on pain medication, don't drive unless you are certain there is no such side effect.
Aside from the above examples, think of the multitiude of other side-effects most pills have on your body, particularly over long periods of time. If you practice natural treatment and chiropractic care, many problems with your nerves can be avoided. Painkillers really only treat the symptoms. Chiropractic care is one of the best solutions to treating your body pain issues. During pregnancy, a specialist pregnancy chiropractor can provide highly effective relief from pain minimising the need for medication.
Prompt expert chiropractic care can avoid the requirement for medication and even surgery. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, chronic back trouble, shoulder pain, migraine, hip pain and even those with foot pain have reported that with chiropractic therapies, they no longer required pain killers nor did they need surgery.
Now, that is not just reduction in taking pills. With some patients, it is total elimination. Arguably chiropractic care is an important alternative to seek out in order to avoid being so reliant upon medication.
