Look At Your Options

There are options for all sorts of ailments. Let’s hang on the rubber band wrapped around the finger. You notice not only the pain, but the finger is also turning into a shade of plum. Jokingly, but also not, you could cut the finger off! That would at least release the pressure from the rubber band. Another option would be to shoot the finger up with corticosteroids. Or maybe take a blood thinner? Surely taking a prescription pain killer would do the trick… What else could we “throw at the wall and see what sticks?” Reading this you are hopefully rolling your eyes. Logic would have it all you would really need to do is remove the CAUSE, the Rubber band, of course.

Treating The Symptom VS Treating The Cause In Coeur d'Alene ID

Treating the symptom versus treating the cause has been a widespread debate over the past 100 plus years. Big Pharma and medical giants make a lot of cash flow from treating symptoms, especially if they can treat symptoms “long term.” For instance, taking high blood pressure medication with no end in sight equals a lifelong customer. Treating the cause seems like a practical alternative and unfortunately it is more widely accepted as the alternative. Remove the cause of the problem and the problem will cease to exist over time. When working closely with the Nerve System of the body, we understand that it is the Master System. Controlling every cell, muscle, tissue, organ, gland, etc., there are many symptoms that can arise from poor Nerve System coordination. Harmony lost due to subluxations can alter the body’s perfect expression of life. Multiply this lost life by 1-50 years and we get symptoms. Picture a subluxation as the rubber band, boa-constricting the nerve.

Just like the rubber band, at first the symptoms of subluxations are manageable and often go unrecognized. Over time, chaos ensues. Removing the cause starts with a clear and effective Central Nerve System. Like taking the rubber band off, remove the incoordination within the Nerve System and watch the body return to Par. Understand this simple truth, and you understand THE BIG IDEA of Chiropractic
