Is This IN-Dependence? 

When it comes to health, Americans are not nearly as free as we think we are.

In a recent Mayo Clinic Study, it was determined by researchers that the The United States, alone, consumes 80% of The World’s pain medications, while only having 6% of The World’s population. 80% of Americans are on at least one prescription drug,  more than half receive at least two prescription drug and 20% were found to be on five prescriptions or more.  Currently, In the United States, the deaths from pain medication abuse are outnumbering the deaths from traffic accidents in young adults and every 19 minutes, at least one American dies from a prescription drug overdose. These harsh statistics are simply the truth. We live in a scary world where Big Pharma won’t stop advertising and pushing their products until we are 100% dependent on them, but Chiropractors believe that true freedom comes from IN-Dependence- relying on the Power that made you, to heal you and keep you well.

Our Bodies Innately possess what they need in order to heal. Here at The Roots Health Centers, we trust in the wisdom of our practice member’s bodies to handle what ails them instead of running straight to a medicine cabinet. We are apart of the 30% who would rather give Mother Nature the chance to do her job, than usurp her role with drug intervention. There is a time and a place for emergency medicine, but never underestimate the power your body wills to heal itself, and always remember that we are here to help guide your body into doing so.

This Fourth of July, when you are celebrating our Country’s freedom, take a moment to reflect on your body’s freedom as well.

Are you truly as IN-dependent as you want to be?
