Proton-pump inhibitors sound like something right out of Star
Wars, but they're actually common - far too common, considering their potential
risks - here in the real world.
This class of drugs, which includes Nexium, Prilosec and Prevacid, among others, is prescribed to treat digestive
tract issues such as gastroesophageal reflux, chronic dyspepsia (indigestion)
and peptic ulcer disease. These conditions are all characterized by excessive
production of stomach acid. The intended mechanism of action of proton-pump
inhibitors, as you might expect, is to reduce acid by blocking the gastric
proton pump; a decidedly unintended mechanism of action is increased fracture
risk.
Following a recent Food and Drug Administration (FDA) review of
studies, the administration posted a "class labeling change"
notice on its Web site alerting health care professionals and consumers that
proton-pump inhibitors will now feature a label warning regarding "a
possible increased risk of fractures at the hip, wrist and spine"
attributable to their use. According to the FDA, people ages 50 or older who
had been taking the medication for one year or more, often in high doses, were
at the greatest risk.
If your doctor tells you proton-pump inhibitors are in your
immediate future, ask about the potential side effects and if you can avoid
taking medication altogether.

I decided to try chiropractic because I
have fibromyalgia pain. I'm always in severe pain from my head to my toes, I
tried medicine, acupuncture, sleeping medication, muscle relaxer's,
pain pills over the counter pain relief creams, but nothing worked. Dr. Weber
has allowed me to have a life again. Please trust me when I say, "don't
continue in pain when you could be helped so very much." I won't live
without chiropractic care anymore. It is a part of my life.

I had severe migraine headaches for 18
years. I tried medicine and visits to a neurologist with no results. Everything
else failed. I got very rapid results within weeks with Dr. Weber's help. Migraines
completely dissipated in two months. I
feel chiropractic care is a very beneficial natural way to cure the problem not
just the symptoms.
