Dr. Ron Asks some important questions of interest to Vancouver residents - Chiropractor Vancouver Dr. Ron Asks...

Can babies with colic be helped with chiropractic?
It's probably one of the times a parent feels the most helpless. But based on the research, chiropractic and colic relief appear to go hand in glove. With success rates in the mid-90% range, more and more Vancouver parents are seeing a chiropractor. If you have a baby with colic learn how chiropractic may help.
How could chiropractic help a stomach problem?
Chiropractic works by locating and reducing areas of the spine compromising nerve communications between your brain and your body. If nerves to or from your stomach are irritated, your stomach won't work right. Chiropractors find the source of the interference, reduce it and allow your body to work as designed.

NSAIDs: Will You Be a Statistic?

In a recent New England Journal of Medicine article, researchers disclosed that the adverse effects of using NSAIDs (Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) like Advil, Motrin, Aleve, Naprosyn, Naprox, Voltaren, Indocin and others, can include stomach bleeding, ulcers and, in some cases, death.

Millions take NSAIDs without much thought. However, research has shown that bleeding and ulcers occur half the time; often, with no symptoms. Among the people who develop serious bleeding from NSAIDs and require hospitalization, an amazing ten to 15% will die; tens of thousands per year. In fact, 2,000 people in the United Kingdom die each year from gastro-duodenal lesions from taking NSAIDs.

These drugs simply cover up your body’s warning signs and fool the body. Every day we help locate and reduce the underlying cause of many types of health problems. Is it time for a chiropractic checkup for you, or someone you know, who thoughtlessly reaches into the medicine cabinet?
