It is a common reoccurring question when it comes to pain what is better and of course safer:

Vitamins or Painkillers?

Having treated a great many people over the years suffering all various types of pain, my primary concern is looking at the underlying causes of the pain:

Pain is our body indicator that something is wrong and sends a message to our brain so that it is able to put in the necessary processes to heal the pain.

However if the cause of the pain is because of a myriad of underlying problems, it is necessary then to peel away the issues so as to work out what is the major contributor to the pain.

Headaches or Migraines if these are suffered from on a regular basis, then it is important to seek once again Professional help.
