Chiropractic Masnou Adjusting Symptoms or Seeking the Origin

Often, doctors at Chiropractic Masnou are asked why we do not always adjust the area of the spine where your symptoms are located. The answer is simple.

The location of the pain is not always the location of the problem.

Surprised?

Instead of thinking of your spine as separate segments, think of it as a whole. It constantly adapts to the force of gravity. A problem in one area can create a compensatory problem in another.

Let’s say your main problem is in the upper neck (cervicals). But you are experiencing symptoms of lower back pain. The pain in the lower back is a result of your spine compensating for the problem in your neck. Therefore, adjusting your neck is likely to produce the best results.

Even better, let’s put it this way: Let’s say you accidentally step on a dog’s tail. The real problem is in the tail. But the symptom (barking) comes out the other end! –The barking does not need to be fixed; instead, we focus on the cause, not the effect.
