SHOCKING NEWS:  READ THE LATEST REPORT RIGHT HERE FOR YOURSELF!

_____________________________________

THIS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE DEATHS THAN COCAINE & HEROIN COMBINED!

You read that right!  It isn't a typo.  There is something truly frightening that is happening right now in our town.  

This is something that has largely been ignored for the most part.

But we are getting to a point where it is something that can no longer be ignored.

People are dying...I don’t mean this figuratively either.

People are literally dying!  In fact, the statistics are alarming and shocking.

So, what is the problem I am talking about?  The catastrophe of prescription drug misuse & abuse by patients and their over-prescription by physicians.

So how bad is the problem?

“Overdose deaths involving prescription opioids have quadrupled since 1999, as have sales of these prescription drugs. From 1999 to 2014, more than 165,000 people --- three times the U.S. military deaths during the twenty years of the Vietnam War -- have died in the U.S. from overdoses related to prescription opioids”

...And this is JUST OPIOIDS alone!  Not any of the other prescription drug related deaths!

So what can we do?  This problem has come from a fundamental misunderstanding of the simple truth that

“HEALTH COMES FROM THE INSIDE”

Think about it for a minute.  Our body is a miraculous self-healing, self-regulating machine.  As you read this article your brain is sending signals to your body.  It’s telling your heart to beat, your lungs to take in oxygen, your digestive system to assimilate food and a million other processes…Without you even thinking about it!

This is what Chiropractic is ALL ABOUT!

No matter what we do for better or worse, the truth will always be that health comes from inside, not from the outside.

Certain things we do will either help or hinder our body’s ability to heal itself.

Drugs NEVER HEALED ANYONE.

Don’t get me wrong, some drugs are incredibly valuable and even necessary in some instances.

But never misunderstand that it is our body that does the healing, not the drugs.

When we understand the truth that health comes from the inside, we are starting off on the right foundation.  Chiropractic care is a natural approach that is designed to assist the body in healing itself without drugs, surgery or other potentially harmful procedures.
