Each patient's spine and care plan is unique. With 24 moving bones in the spine, each of which can move in seven different directions, we see a wide variety of spinal patterns. Each patient's care is custom-tailored for their age condition and health goals. Many people believe that chiropractors are against drugs and surgery, when actually we are against the abuses of these treatments, when we know that conservative chiropractic care has not been tried or when you try to cover up the cause of the problem with drugs the cause has not been corrected. Surgery should be the last resort, not the first.
Chiropractic care saves many people from having surgery.
Chiropractors would add spinal care to Mr. Cousins' observation. A visit to the chiropractor is a lot safer. Also, many types of therapy, including massage and various body work can reduce musculo-skeletal stress, sometimes permitting the spine to automatically realign. Occasionally, even a good night's sleep can release spinal stress. Symptoms are not a good way to judge health.
