WHEN I HEARD I WAS TO BE PATIENT OF THE MONTH, I DIDN'T KNOW WHY. I
THOUGHT I WAS A FAIRLY STANDARD CLIENT. BUT FRIENDS AND FAMILY KINDLY REMINDED ME OF THE TERRIBLE CONDITION I WAS IN JUST A FEW SHORT
MONTHS AGO. IT'S EASY TO FORGET HOW I USED TO BE, ONCE I STARTED
FEELING BETTER!
FOR THE LAST YEAR I'D BEEN GETTING VERY SICK... MIGRAINES, SINUS INFECTIONS THAT WOULD GO VERY WRONG AND EFFECT MY LUNGS, AND THEN
MUSCLE SPASMS THAT WOULD PUT ME IN BED FOR DAYS. I HAD CAT SCANS,
MRIS, AND LOTS OF STEROIDS. I COULDN'T WORK OR DRIVE. THE FINAL
STRAW WAS WHEN I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT. AFTER THAT I WAS ON PAIN
MEDS AND GETTING PAIN SHOTS! OVER THE YEARS I'VE BEEN TOLD BY MANY
THAT I SHOULD GO TO A CHIRO, BUT I NEVER DID. I'D NOTICED A TREND-THAT WHEN PEOPLE START GOING TO A CHIROPRACTOR THEY NEVER STOP.
HOWEVER, MY MASSAGE THERAPIST SUGGESTED I GO AS SORT OF A LAST
RESORT, AND THANK GOD HE DID.

PRESCRIPTION PAINKILLERS OUTPACE HEROIN,
COCAINE IN OVER DOSE DEATHS
C LINIC
BY ERYN BROWN LA TIMES NOV. 1, 2011
IN 2008, DRUG OVERDOSES CAUSED 36,450 DEATHS IN THE US. ONE OR MORE PRESCRIPTION DRUGS WERE INVOLVED IN 20,044 OF THESE DEATHS, CDC RESEARCHERS WROTE IN THE JOURNAL OF MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY
WEEKLY REPORT. OPIOID PAIN RELIEVERS, INCLUDING OXYCODONE, METHADONE AND HYDROCODONE, WERE INVOLVED IN 14,800. IN 1999, ONLY ABOUT 4,000 PEOPLE WERE KILLED BY OVERDOSING ON THIS TYPE OF DRUG,
THE CDC SAID.
DEATH RATES WERE THE HIGHEST AMONG PEOPLE AGES 35 - 54. PEOPLE IN RURAL COUNTIES WERE ABOUT TWICE
AS LIKELY TO OVERDOSE ON PRESCRIPTION PAINKILLERS AS PEOPLE IN LARGE CITIES. SALES OF THE DRUGS
SOARED WITH THE DEATH RATES, RISING FOUR FOLD FROM 1999 TO 2008.
IN 2010, 4.8% OF AMERICANS 12 YEARS OR OLDER USED OPIOID PAIN RELIEVERS NON-MEDICALLY - THAT IS, WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION OR PURELY FOR THE FEELING THE DRUG CASES. THE REPORT CALCULATED THAT BY 2010,
“ENOUGH OPIOID PAIN RELIEVERS WERE SOLD TO MEDICATE EVERY AMERICAN ADULT WITH A TYPICAL DOSE OF 5
MG OF HYDROCODONE EVERY FOUR HOURS ONE MONTH.”
WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THIS?
CHIROPRACTIC HEALTH CARE IS NERVOUS SYSTEM & WHOLE BODY WELLNESS FOCUSED. TREATING YOUR FUNCTIONAL PROBLEMS NATURALLY MAKES YOUR PAIN GO AWAY. CHOOSE HEALTH OVER DRUGS. DRUGS SHOULD
ALWAYS BE A CHOICE OF LAST RESORT. MAKE HEALTHY DECISIONS AND SHARE YOUR KNOWLEGE WTIH OTHERS!

WHITNEY CAMPBELL, NOVEMBER PATIENT OF THE MONTH
CONT FROM PG 1...
THE MASSAGES AND ADJUSTMENTS IN THE BEGINNING WERE VERY PAINFUL, BUT I STUCK WITH IT BECAUSE I COULD SEE MINOR POSITIVE CHANGES IN MY BODY AND PAIN LEVELS. AFTER I WAS SHOWN
HOW TO STRETCH AND USE THE STYRO FOAM ROLLER, I MADE GREAT PROGRESS IN HOW I FELT! IT TOO
HURT FAIRLY BAD AT FIRST BUT AGAIN I JUST STUCK WITH IT. WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF ROLLING REGULARLY I WAS ABLE TO START WORKING AND DRIVING AGAIN!
AFTER TWO MONTHS I WAS ABLE TO START EXERCISING AND PAINTING AGAIN! I LOVE VERY MUCH TO DO
BOTH! I'VE BEEN AN ATHLETE ALL MY LIFE, PLAYED MOST SPORTS & DIDN'T REALIZE HOW THAT HAD
TAKEN A TOLL ON MY BODY AS WELL. I HAD MISSED BEING ABLE TO SIT AT MY EASEL & PAINT FOR
HOURS. I STILL HAVE TO REMEMBER TO STRETCH & ROLL NOW THAT I'M ALMOST 100%, BUT I'M FOREVER GRATEFUL & A HUGE ADVOCATE OF CHIROPRACTORS NOW!! I NOW KNOW THAT PEOPLE KEEP COMING BACK TO GET ‘ADJUSTED’ BECAUSE IT INCREASES YOUR OVERALL WELL-BEING & QUALITY OF LIFE!
The ladies of our staff just finished 8 Weeks to

hips. We are going into our 8WW Alumni program
