Chiropractic Care Summerville, South Carolina

While it’s clear to patients and becoming clearer to researchers that chiropractic care saves and preserves lives because of the effect it has on the central nervous system and the organs involved, what’s not always known is how just the very choice of chiropractic saves lives.

When someone is in pain, they have three choices:

1. Ignore it
2. Take a drug
3. Restore normal function through chiropractic care.

Ignoring it is obviously a bad idea in that the cause goes on uncorrected and gets worse-even if the pain comes and goes.  It is, however, a far better idea then drugs.  The reason: not only are you still ignoring the cause, but painkillers have been found very deadly.  See latest research below.

November 14, 2005: Taking pain relievers called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS)–including Cox-2 inhibitors such as Celebrex, Vioxx, Ibuprofin, Motrin, etc.–after a heart attack, increases the risk of death, a new study has found.

The higher the dose, the higher the risk of death, according to research presented at the 2005 American Heart Association’s scientific sessions in Dallas, Texas.

The crazy part, the deaths that occurred were not due to a second heart attack.  They found that when people took these medications, their risk of death went up as high as 500% depending on the dose.  The deaths occurred for a number of reasons, all caused by the medications, but not from a second heart attack.

Painkillers of all kinds have come under attack by the scientific community-think Vioxx scandal-for being leading causes of heart attacks, kidney failure, liver failure, and cancer.

Another way that chiropractic care saves is when people choose adjustments over dangerous drugs and perilous surgery.
