NSAIDS

Adverse Effects of Drugs
The FDA has recently released a warning that there is an increased risk of heart attack and strokes associated with taking common painkillers such as NSAIDS or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. These drugs are taken to relieve pain or reduce fever. NSAIDS include ibuprofen, naproxen and celecoxib. These drugs only help to mask the symptoms but do not correct the underlying problem. Common brands include Motrin, Aleve and Celebrix, which are used for symptoms such as headaches, cold, flu and menstrual cramps. Chronic and long-lasting conditions such as back pain, arthritis and muscle strains and spasms can commonly be masked by common brands as well. If you are suffering with back pain or arthritic pain, consider Chiropractic care, a safe and drug-free approach to correcting your problem.
