Drugs
Unlike a specifically-targeted chiropractic adjustment, drugs are more like an imprecise, whole-body “bomb.” Most of which do one of two things:
1. Speed Things Up
One of the things drugs (legal or otherwise) can do is to accelerate some bodily process. Laxatives, amphetamines and anti-depressants fall into this category. How much of an increase in bodily function a drug will produce is merely an educated guess.
2. Slow Things Down
The other thing drugs (over-the-counter or prescription) can do is to depress bodily processes, such as antihistamines, stomach antacids and blood pressure medications. Slowing down a bodily process can produce temporary relief while ignoring the underlying cause.
Underlying Cause
We aren’t anti-drug. We’re interested in the underlying cause of why something needs to be sped up or slowed down. Instead of changing your blood chemistry, we look for disturbances to your nervous system because your nervous system controls everything. That’s why chiropractic can be so effective for such a variety of health problems.
