You probably have seen articles on the new FDA enhanced warnings for NSAID's ( anti-inflammatory drugs). We have known for over a decade that they can increase the risk of heart attack and stroke if taken long term, but new research shows that these risk factors can occur in a little as a few weeks for some people.
This is even more reason to use non drug treatments such as spinal manipulation and physical medicine procedures such as exercise therapy.
Here is a link to information on the FDA website. Any questions of these new warnings?
