Why choose chiropractic for your health care needs? Why not go to your medical doctor? For example, if you or someone you know has an episode of lower back pain, what are their options? The traditional medical approach would most likely be pain killers, anti-inflammatory medication, put heat on the affected area and come back in two weeks. They are addressing the symptoms of your problem not the cause. If you decide on physical medicine model, an exercise program of stretching and possibly weights, ultrasound and electrical muscle stimulation and heat. The treatment modalities given here are good but they don’t address the main cause of your problem. And that problem is the vertebral subluxation. Your vertebral column houses the most important 24 inches of your body: your spinal cord. The nerves that exit the vertebral column provide function and sensory input to virtually every cell in your body. If there is any interference in that relay system, whatever that nerve provides function for won’t work correctly. All the other treatment modalities listed above only address the symptom (pain, numbness, tingling, headache, etc.) not what is causing that symptom.
