Why your symptoms go away…

28/5/2015

By Dr. John Roberts
Many patients come into our office under the impression that if we pound a vertebra hard enough we can drive it right back into it’s proper place and everything will be magically fixed again.

This would be lovely if it were the case but we have to bring a degree of sense, science and structure to our approach, consistently working to get your body back into healthy working order.  However, one of the biggest areas of confusion is why we have symptoms in the first place.  If numbing symptoms was the only thing that mattered then there would be no such thing as massage, physiotherapy, osteopathy or Chiropractic – as morphine is able to kill the symptoms of back pain or sciatica quicker than any physical therapy.  It’s just important that we aren’t naive enough to think the problem has gone away if we can’t feel the pain.
Symptoms are in our body serve the purpose of letting us know that there is a significant problem – that your body is either damaged or not working properly.  However, aside from trauma (car crashes, falls etc.) most symptoms are the result of your body not working properly over a period of weeks, months or years - causing it to re-build itself in a progressively sicker and more diseased state – one cell at a time until it’s so severe that symptoms occur.  You see, symptoms are often the last thing to develop in the disease process and are often the first thing to disappear.

“If I’d known I was going to live this long I’d have taken better care of myself!”
– James Hubert Blake
A vertebra that has been misaligned or subluxated for a period of time is often not able to support and maintain itself in proper position as the affected nerves caused the discs, ligaments and muscles to deteriorate – rendering them unable to hold the spine in alignment.
Picture
It is important to understand that no drug, supplement or surgery can repair these damaged and diseased tissues although many offer instant resolution of pain and symptoms.  But it is your approach to answering this question that dictates your future health, which dictates your quality of life and determine how you age.
Your body is made up of literally trillions of cells – with the majority of them dying off and getting replaced by new ones all without you having to think or know about it.  This is what we call the Innate Intelligence of your body.  When you break a bone the body sends signals back to the brain so that it can start repairing the exact type of tissue that’s damaged into a new, healthier state.  Healing and repair in your body takes place 1 cell at a time and once enough of the damaged/diseased tissue cells are replaced by new healthy ones the symptoms (think of it as a warning light) switch off.  Our primary aim as your Chiropractic Doctors is to ensure that your body is constantly replacing your old sick and damaged cells with healthy ones – rather than the other way around!
What approach will your family adopt?  Will you medicate symptoms and experience the same decline in health and life that many of our society struggle with OR will you take structured steps to restore and maintain a state of health in your body – to ensure a better, brighter future.
What will you base your family’s health on – How they are FEELING OR How they are FUNCTIONING?
