The Pain Medicine Killer Epidemic and Getting Worst

Just think about this for a minute, 

"In 2014, the CDC reported a total of 47,055 drug overdose deaths in the United States, 61% of which were attributable to opioids."

Hold that thought and ponder this, 

"Oxycontin became one of the most abused prescription drugs to date and is estimated to cause 100,000 drug-related deaths worldwide per year." 

Medical Physician, Kristine Scruggs, MD, put the problem of pain medication abuse in simple to understand terms, 

"In the case of opioid pain medication, not only is it often not medically indicated to use these medications, but we also take a significant risk each time we prescribe them. We risk our patient developing a dependence or addiction, we risk the medications being diverted or abused, we risk saddling patients with side effects that can be worse than their primary complaint (such as severe constipation and even narcotic bowel syndrome), and we risk someone dying from an overdose of medications we prescribed."

Opioid abuse and addiction is getting worst.  Destroying not only the individual, but families, marriages, jobs and whole communities. 

There are several ways to prevent Opioid abuse and addiction from getting worst.  One way is simply, CHIROPRACTIC CARE FIRST.
