Modern medicine can be wonderful and extremely useful under the proper circumstances. However, it tends to be overused and when the time comes that we actually need it we tend to need higher doses with lower results. It can also wreak havoc on our bodies over time. Depending on the medication, we can cause a whole host of other issues including autoimmune responses, sleep dysfunction, weight gain and gut health issues. Luckily there are alternatives such as chiropractic care that are noninvasive and equally as effective in treating a variety of complications. A few of these are explained below: 

Migraine Headaches: Migraine headaches can be extremely debilitating and sufferers are often prescribed heavy medication to help with the pain. However, this is just masking and treating the pain rather than find a solution to the problem. Chiropractic care can help get to the root issue as to what is causing your migraines and help eliminate them forever.

Ear Infections: A common childhood illness is repeat ear infections. Typically an antibiotic is prescribed for the infection. However, many childhood ear infections can be treated with mild chiropractic care to help the ear drain properly and eliminate the infection. 

Shorter Labor: Chiropractic care can safely be used throughout all stages of pregnancy. Towards the end of pregnancy, chiropractic care can help prepare your body for the journey of labor and delivery. It has been proven that these techniques can actually help shorten the labor process and make for an easier overall delivery.
