This month our focus is on educating our patients on the potentially negative effects of over-the-counter pain medications, especially acetaminophen. When we have aches and pains, isn't taking Acetaminophen a very safe and good idea? What about when our child is teething, or just after a vaccine? Should we give her Infants' Tylenol to relieve the pain? Research shows that Acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol and more than 600 medications, causes toxicity, cell death and liver failure. We have provided research in this newsletter to educate you on the potential side effects of this drug that has been marketed as "safe for the whole family". But, our deeper message this month is to remind you that if you are having pain, seek solutions - not simply a way to mask the symptoms. Medications don't heal, they mask symptoms, modulate symptoms, and at best, attempt to ward off future symptoms.
Medications do not solve the imbalance that the pain is representing in the body. To heal, one must remove blockages, restore flow, and bring balance to the failing system. Chiropractic restores nerve flow, brings balance to the spine and nervous system, and ultimately allows for the body to heal itself. Acupuncture restores balance to the body so that the organ systems are working in harmony allowing the body to heal more effectively. Massage restores movement of the tissues and nutrition removes toxicity and restores depleted cells. All of the techniques at InnerMovement are HIGHLY effective in treating pain. Before you reach for the pain medication, pick up the phone and call our office. All of the InnerMovement staff are passionate about helping the whole family live a pain free, vibrant life! Until our next adjustment...
Yours in Health,
Dr. Heidi & The InnerMovement Wellness Team
