A study of 99,000 people (that’s a huge study) in Denmark has found that taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, NSAIDs, that’s ibuprofen, neurofen, voltarol amongst others, after you have had an heart attack increases your risk of dying from further heart problems, including having another heart attack! Eve n if you take them years after the original heart attack! GPs are being warned about this, but what if you don’t go to your GP for aches and pains but you go to the local chemist or even worse, the supermarket where there is no-one asking questions about your health, and whether they are in fact safe for you to take.
The risks of Chiropractic treatment are extremely rare, compared to side effects of NSAID’s.
To my knowledge there
"IS ABSOLUTELY NO RISK OF HAVING A HEART ATTACK AFTER A McTIMONEY CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT!"
I would say around 99% of the people that come to see me for aches and pains have taken some form of NSAID or other, before resorting to come and seeking the help of a McTimoney Chiropractor. After the GP we are probably the next health professional that someone suffering with muscular aches and pains will seek treatment from. Chiropractic is a safe drugless form of treatment for many symptoms that you will reach to the medicine cabinet and take an NSAID for. Are you willing to take that risk?
