Masnou Chiropractic: Treating Symptoms or Addressing the Root Cause
We chiropractors in Masnou are often asked why we don't 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 part of your neck (cervical spine). But you're experiencing lower back pain. The lower back pain is the 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 take this example: Let's say you accidentally step on a dog's tail. The real problem is in the tail. But the symptom (the barking) comes out the other end! —The barking doesn't need to be fixed; instead, we focus on the cause, not the effect.
