n life, many things come and go but your body is with you forever. If you don't take care of it, who will? Pain is a signal that your body is injured. If you are experiencing pain, it happens for a reason and Nokomis Chiropractic and Wellnessclinic, located in Minneapolis, MN can aid you in finding and treating that reason and help to heal your body.

Treatment of Pain

Doctors, hospitals, pharmacists and even the media are influenced by pharmaceutical companies and their extensive marketing. The result is that most Americans have been led to believe pain relief comes from a bottle, pill, lotion, potion or surgery or will be never ending. That is so far from what is possible and even what is often most effective. The plain truth is that narcotics are necessary and the best choice in some circumstances but can be a lot more dangerous than even the condition you are treating in others. The chance of you going to a medical doctor, because of pain and then leaving with a prescription for pain pills as the first or only treatment is extremely high. It's because other than referring out to a specialist or suggesting surgery, pain pills are the only method they have readily available. Do you get a headache for lack of asprin?

Dangers of Narcotics

Prescription pain pills, not only do nothing to correct the cause of the pain you are feeling but they tend to have their own set of dangers. Put simply, pain is a message that your body and brain work together to send to you. Pain pills just put that message on silent. The reason for that message is still there, but you are unaware your body's “inbox” is filling up because you’re not getting the alert. This could lead to further strain or injury because you cannot adequately hear what your body is telling you.

Increased risk of furthering your pain is not the only danger. One of the most common addictions is that of prescription drugs and with each year it's been increasing. Whether it happens accidently, on purpose or accidently on purpose, many addicts start out innocently attempting to relieve pain. It's a real threat everyone encounters while dealing with the consumption of pain killers.

Addictions can ruin every aspect of a life and they continue to take lives each year. Everyone has heard of the famous people that have overdosed and died or lost their wealth, health, family or career, due to prescription drugs. You don't have to be a celebrity for this to happen to you. Even if you only take what is recommended, addiction can still catch up with you as some people are more susceptible than others. No one chooses to become addicted and it's estimated that 1 out of 5 people have a problem cutting down on prescribed pills. It's important to think twice before you choose how you want to address your pain.
