Have you ever thought of how much money you spend on over-the-counter pain medications and back pain remedies? It’s likely more than you think. In 2018, researchers at the University of Washington, Seattle found that back and neck pain account for the most dollars spent on any medical condition. It’s estimated at about $86 billion a year.
Pain medication doesn’t resolve the underlying issues that cause pain. Instead, it masks it and this could cause future back issues. More back pain will equal more money for treatments and medications. Instead of wasting money on quick band-aid solutions, seek chiropractic care. It costs less than you think, most health insurance plans cover treatment and it can help fix the problem. Stop wasting your money on back pain medication.
