Medicating for Back Pain Relief - Think Again

Question: I'm in pain and want to take back pain medication for immediate back pain relief - is it a good idea?

Answer:

Hello,

Great question!

I'm sorry to hear about your pain; however, you may reflect on this experience and realize that your pain could potentially be saving your life.

A bold claim, I know.

Here's the deal - pain is the body's sign of telling you something is wrong and needs to be addressed. Ignoring the symptoms of pain simply by medicating the pain without dealing with the actual CAUSE of the hip and back pain could result in additional health challenges in the future (never mind the litany of potential side effects of the medication).

Believe it or not, even the most "incurable" reasons for back pain can often be treated, mitigated or even healed completely using natural techniques that support your body's natural ability to heal. If anything, it's worth exploring further.

To your good health,

Charlie
