It surprises many patients when they discover chiropractic
doctors don't treat the symptoms. A medical approach is to only treat the
symptoms. This is done by using drugs or surgery to numb, slow down, speed up,
or cut out the malfunctioning body part. Instead, chiropractic doctors find the
underlying cause(s) of your ache or pain, and help correct it.
Judging your health by how you feel can be dangerous! The first
symptom of high blood pressure is often a deadly stroke. The first symptom of
heart disease could be a fatal heart attack! Because your body is so adaptive,
by the time many symptoms warn you of a problem, it can be well advanced.
Would you rather be healthy or just feel good?
You can be healthy and still not feel well. Vomiting after eating improperly
prepared food is a healthy response. Taking a drug to prevent your body from
expelling the toxic food could be deadly! Fevers, diarrhea, and other symptoms
are natural ways your body responds to infection and disease.
Proper function, controlled by your nervous system, is the key to health.
Fortunately, the proper function of your nervous system is the primary interest
of your chiropractic doctor.
When
spinal functions improve, your symptoms usually improve too.
