When you're in pain, nothing else seems to matter except finding a way to make the pain stop, even if just a little bit. The big problem is that Big Pharma (pharmaceutical companies) has used doctors and the media to push pain-relief meds as the only solution to pain! The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cite that over 259 million prescriptions for pain are written yearly.
Baltimore chiropractor Dr. Michael A. Dorn, Jr. says, "While relieving pain is important, drugs rarely get to the root of the problem." And if you don't get to the cause of the problem, it means that the pain will return, and you'll need to keep taking medication to try to reduce the pain. And the cycle repeats over and over and over.
If you're in constant pain, get a thorough evaluation to determine the source, and then ask about non-drug and/or non-surgical alternatives like chiropractic care. Don't just turn to the medicine cabinet or a doctor's prescription suggestion and think that you have solved the problem.
