Fortunately, we know far more about interventions than we do of cures. For example, we reserve drilling holes in the skull for very specific headache problems, while we recommend aspirin for almost any headache. Our clinics are stuffed with patients who suffer the unwanted effects derived from the drugs used to treat headache. Aside from headache, MPS causes all sorts of aches and pains ranging from somatovisceral disorders to garden variety muscle pain. Of all the clinical conditions I see in my practice, I find MPS the most fascinating to treat.
Manipulation is a typical example of a doctor-based intervention.
Aspirin is a patient-based intervention. One of my favorite patient-based interventions is a simple intraoral device designed to balance and cushion the dental bite. Please include your return address. All Rights Reserved, Dynamic Chiropractic, 2001.
