Pain Pills-The Painful Truth

There are a handful of reasons why you should choose alternative pain relief treatments.

Pain is usually treated with a pill.  In many ways, this is a problem.  For starters, pills don’t act fast enough.  They must first travel through the body before taking effect.  That alone can cause severe internal issues.  Even worse, continued use of oral medications could ultimately lead to devastating consequences such as habit, dependence, or addiction.
Pills go down the esophagus and settle in the stomach.  Not only does this delay the desired relief, it may also eventually impact the digestive system Over time, swallowing pills can lead to ulcers, bleeding, or perforation (holes) in both the esophagus and the stomach.
Prescription painkillers cause even more harm to millions of Americans every year.  Opioid drugs in particular work by interfering with, and blocking, the signals of pain being sent to the brain.  These leave the body in an altered state.  Oddly enough, they do not actually treat any symptoms – the user only experiences a perception of pain relief.
When those signals are triggered too many times, the body creates a tolerance to the drug.  Now a larger dose is needed to achieve similar results.  Then a habit starts to form, and abuse begins.  This is when the risks increase dramatically;
Opioid addiction and overdose are on the rise.  From 1999 to 2010, prescription pain reliever overdose deaths increased 265% among men – and more than 400% among women.  Drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in the US.
