Why Get Chiropractic When I Can Take Drugs?

This is a question I'm sure many patient have on a day to day basis. The sad truth is many people are brainwashed or convinced that health comes in a pill or drug. They are led to believe this by the pharmaceutical companies and then by their doctor who usually only prescribes a drug. The fact is health does not come in a pill it never has and never will. True health only comes from one place and that's from within. No pill or doctor can heal you, the only one to heal you is yourself. The body has this form of innate intelligence, which is responsible for the vitality of one's self. The only thing we can you as doctors is listen to the innate intelligence and facilitate the body to heal and function properly.

It may be easier to take a pill to get rid of symptoms, but the truth is health is not easy or hard it just is. Giving yourself a foreign compound to quell the symptoms, or the voice your body tells your brain is the exact opposite of healthy. The body is trying to tell the brain something, but why and what? The body tell the brain things all the time, I'm hungry, I'm tried, I'm thirsty, I've got to go to the bathroom. Why would we try to stop the body from communicating with the brain? Can you image if we cut off the communication from our body trying to tell our brain our daily necessary functions? We would die!

Pain seems to be the only acceptable body-brain communication which can be circumvented, but then again why? Pain is your body telling the brain there is a problem it's important to feel pain, it's a normal function on how you judge health. We need to be in touch with our body all the time, severing the communication is not only unhealthy but very dangerous as well. Over 125,000 people die from drug overdoes and drug interactions a every single year by a doctor they think has their best interest. I am not against drugs at all, what I am against is the overutilization of drugs. The United States is only five percent of the world population, yet we consume fifty percent of all the drugs in the world and are one of the unhealthiest populations on earth.

Choosing chiropractic and/or alternative healthcare provides may not be the fancy or easy way, but it's right way. Start with the least invasive treatment first and progress up from there. Chiropractors use a safe, healthy, and effective approached to treating very common problems with our population, such as musculoskeletal pain. Chiropractic will take time it's not an overnight process, the body did not get damaged overnight so it won't be fixed overnight. The best thing about chiropractic is the feeling that you get when your body healed itself with the help of a chiropractor and you did not have to take any side-effect laden or habit forming schedule 2 narcotics. If you have a lower back problem imaging taking a pill and dying from it, something as simple as lower back pain can get you addicted to a drug and kill you. Choose chiropractic and choose health, your body will thank you for it.
