Many of us have been misled into thinking pain is a problem.
Headache? Numb it. Gall bladder malfunctioning? Remove it. Sore throat? Soothe it.
All of these so-called “solutions” make the symptom the problem rather than attending to the underlying cause.
Imagine if you approached your car with the same attitude. Engine noise? Turn up the radio. Annoying vibrations at highway speeds? Drive slower. Squealing brakes? Turn the radio up even louder!
Ridiculous, right? Yet many of us employ this attitude when it comes to our body. We occupy this miraculous self-healing, self-regulating organism, and if we’ll listen, it warns us when things are amiss. First, with a little whisper. Then a serious warning. Or finally by SHOUTING!
Then we have a choice: address the underlying cause (fix) or merely quiet the warning sign (patch).
Chiropractic care produces great results by attending to the cause, rather than merely suppressing symptoms. Are you attending to your warning signs? Do you know a pill-popping symptom-treating friend who could benefit from our care? Encourage them to give Jaci a call. They can take advantage of our Octoberfest special. October 12th – 16th, consult, exam, x-rays, report of findings- $31.
Stay Well,
Dr. Vince Hassel
