A few months prior, the news media had talked about how Acetaminophen’s, (AKA Tylenol) link to autism, something most health experts realized was absurd. Americans are addicted to drugs for temporary relief, yet, overall, Americans are less healthy and pay more for healthcare than other countries do. The audacity of charging high deductibles and huge copayments cause so many Americans to delay needed care. Is it any wonder they reach for the bottle that implies pain relief, even though most of the pain people experience is musculoskeletal in nature? You can read more about this by reading the article below. Taking Too Much Tylenol Has Proven Risks. Trump Didn’t Talk About Those. A while ago, the NY Times looked at why we have more vaccinations than countries such as Denmark. The idea was that we take too many vaccines but in the article, a physician said that this was because Denmark takes better care of their populations health. They have better care period through a Universal healthcare system, something our country badly needs. Better care means fewer vaccines. It may also mean more chiropractic care with more affordable patient payments so they get the care they need sooner than later. Better yet, chiropractors do not cause liver damage and do improve how you feel and function. In pain?; here’s why you should call your chiropractor first. While Tylenol is considered safe, it can cause other health problems such as liver damage with high usage and over time, patients will have more pain since the drug relieves symptoms instead of solving problems. In the world of chiropractic care, we understand the body is holistic in how it functions and we look at people, their pain and understand the patient before working on them by performing a holistic history and evaluation. This approach is more thorough than asking where it hurts and sending you to a person who looks at where you hurt rather than why. Chiropractic providers use their hands to restore movement and function which is important to help you feel and function better with less pain. If we incentivized results and early intervention for pain, patients in the US would take fewer drugs. and feel and function better as they age. They would also have fewer surgeries and we would have fewer patients requiring joint replacements which are traumatic, require huge costs and put patients at risk because they are surgical procedures. There is a better way. Think chiropractic first. Need help today? Book online or call either of our offices.
