Dr. Crum Asks some important questions of interest to Boardman residents - Chiropractor Boardman Dr. Crum Asks...

What's the difference between a "good" drug and a "bad" drug?
As a chiropractor, I see the use of many drugs (legal or illegal) as merely symptom treating. Worse, virtually every drug produces unwanted effects. The effects of chiropractic are largely positive effects. If you're a Boardman parent, consider carefully before giving your child a cough medication, cold remedy or pain reliever so this sort of question doesn't arise in the first place.
Why do so many drugs require a prescription?
Because they can be dangerous? I chose a chiropractic career specifically because it avoids artificial means of pain relief. Our Boardman chiropractic practice attracts health-conscious families that prefer a safe and natural solution. Ready to get started? Call our office today.
