Back pain is now one of the primary reasons many Americans have become addicted to pain killers. Pharmaceutical drugs now rank second in accidental deaths in the United States; more than 700,000 people visit emergency rooms each year as a result of adverse drug reactions. Drugs that are properly prescribed and administered kill 106,000 people each year, making prescription drugs the fourth-leading cause of death in the US. The reason behind is many people believe it is easier to treat the pain with medication, instead of treating the cause of the pain. When taking medication this you run the risk of not only side effects, but also you are not treating the underlying condition. When the condition persists for years it leads to degeneration and decay of the bone of the spine and the discs.
