The Elderly and Chiropractic Part III

Some over the counter and prescription drugs can have serious side effects. Aspirin helps decrease pain and inflammation, but when taken in excess can cause stomach bleeding and ulcers. Drugs such as Advil, Indocin and Naprosyn can cause kidney problems, irritation of the stomach, small intestine and esophagus. Steroid drugs like hydrocortisone and prednisone help decrease pain, but they make bones weak and thin.


“There is no effect without a cause. Chiropractors adjust causes. Others treat effects.” B.J. Palmer D.C.
