You ask any chiropractor, and you will be told otherwise. Chiropractors do not cure ANY disease, nor do they claim that. It is the body that cures the disease. Chiropractors adjust the spine to relieve nerve irritation or pressure, which allow the body to function at a higher level. What happens after that, is not up to the chiropractor ,but the innate intellegence of the human body.
Most chiropractors agree that certain medications are needed in some cases.
However, the majority of medications are not needed. I have seen thousands of patients come to my office as a last resort. They are tired on ingesting harmful medications, which don't work, or even cause other problems. It is very fulfilling to work in an environment where patients actully heal from the inside out. We do not treat ANY symptom, but correct the cause of the problem.
