 Prescription drug abuse is out of control. Every day we hear stories in the news about celebrities, adults, and kids who have experienced the consequences of prescription drug abuse and have either died, been injured, or had to be admitted into some form of rehabilitation center. It is hard to believe that those little pills can grab such a powerful hold on your mind and body and spin your life out of control.

Problematic Pain Killers

In a world filled with over the counter and prescription drugs on every TV channel, magazine, newspaper, and radio station, it's hard to understand why people think they need them.  From everyday people, to celebrities dying from overdosing or just regular use, we would think society would have a wake up call.  If you crashed six jumbo jets per day every day of the year (2190 planes and 783,936 people) and killed everyone on all of the planes, that is how many people are killed per year by prescription drugs.  That's in the USA only!!!!!   

Are we blind to the facts...?  Why are we making pharmaceutical companies rich?  They are the leading cause of death in the USA.  Consider using health care, not sick care. Chiropractic is the leading hands on non drug based, non surgical form of health care on the planet.  Health comes from the inside out... not the outside in and it happens no other way.
