OVER THE COUNTER DRUGS NOT EFFECTIVE FOR CHRONIC PAIN

Drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin & Advil), morphine, have not been shown to ease chronic pain, which afflicts an estimated 100 million Americans according to a recent issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (JAAOS). Stronger medications have been shown to be more effective in managing chronic pain, but these have serious negative side effects and the potential for addiction. Safe non-drug options are a better choice for many with joint, back, neck, and muscle chronic pain conditions.

Chiropractic care in our office can help many people suffering from chronic pain live a better life and get off the drugs they depend on to get through the day.
