When many people think of chiropractic, they immediately think of a therapy for neck pain and back pain. And it is true that some chiropractors practice this way; however any principled chiropractor will tell you that if it is practice this way, it is a huge waste of its enormous potential. The truth of the matter is that chiropractic is not a therapy at all. In fact it is a science of an entirely new healing art, which is truly unique.
Currently in the world there are two ways to look at health. The first way is a therapeutic approach. The goal of this look at health is to find a cure for symptoms and create relief in the patient. There are two ways to “cure” symptoms in this approach; 1) Using drugs and surgery or 2) Using other modalities (PT, homeopathy, acupuncture, naturopathy, etc.) While at first it may seem that a therapy-based model for health seems like a good idea, a deeper look reveals that it is a backwards way to health, and is the reason why we currently have the sickest industrial nation in the world.
Under a therapy-approach, symptoms are seen as the problem; and almost anything is performed to alleviate the symptoms. However, symptoms are never the problem, they are a warning sign that dis-ease is present. An relevant analogy would be comparing symptoms to a fire alarm. If your house was on fire, would you want to cut the alarm or put out the fire. Well under the therapy model, we are just cutting the alarm! This is why you may be feeling great, and have relief, but inside you are still on fire!
The other approach to health is non-therapy based. It’s main purpose is not to “cure” anything, but to find the CAUSE of dis-ease. Once the cause is found, the body will cure itself, and symptoms will naturally go way. This is why everyone should see a chiropractor no matter what condition they have!
