Pain: Do you smell something burning?

In today's article, we will see the different ways of behaving for a chiropractor and a family doctor, when faced with a patient's pain.

UA family doctor tells his patient: “There are three stages of pain. In the first stage, the pain is bad enough to claim your attention. In the second stage, he takes over you, and in the third he finally forces you to do something about it. " 

The patient asks his doctor: "When it reaches stage three, what should I do?" Without blinking, the doctor turns to him and says: "Take an ibuprofen." (A sad and real story).

Worst of all, the patient actually thought it was good advice. When you tell the story to your chiropractorHe replies: “If the smoke detector went off in your house, the first time it would probably catch your eye; the second in all probability the alarm would take hold of you. But if it went off a third time and you were finally forced to do something about it, would you take the batteries out of it so you don't have to keep listening to it? " "Of course not," replied the patient, "that would be stupid." The patient had understood the issue.

What is the moral of the story?… The symptoms are an attempt by our body to save itself. Masking the symptoms (whether it be pain, nausea, diarrhea, or fever) with medication does not fix the problem; in fact, it can make the situation worse. 

It's smarter to go to the CAUSE of the problem and deal with it the RIGHT way. That's why they call DC chiropractors, 

Because they are Doctors who seek the Causes!
