Did You Know…
Recent studies have concluded that for a large percentage of people with neck pain, the traditional usage of rest and muscle relaxants may delay healing and prolong disability. Other studies noted that the chronic usage of anti-inflammatory medication (Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, etc.) have been linked to several serious and potentially fatal complications such as; gastrointestinal bleeding, kidney dysfunction, allergic reaction, liver damage, central nervous system damage and anemia.

Chiropractic Can Help
Studies published in 1995 found that chiropractic was not only safer than anti-inflammatory medications by a factor of “several hundred times” but the researchers discovered that procedures such as chiropractic care which favor manipulation, exercise an early return to activity to provide the most effective care. In addition to this, other studies have noted “spinal manipulations are less safe and less effective when performed by non-chiropractic professionals”.

What Should I Do?
Most people think that once they have neck pain they have to live with it. The message from the researches is clear; for safe effective, cost effective care, see your chiropractor today. No referral is necessary.
