Potholes, Medicine and Chiropractic

It's Springtime in Marin. That means, when you're driving, watch out for those new, big, ugly potholes. Most are previously repaired potholes, that were never fixed right. Do you see where I'm going yet?

Medicine never really fixes the road. They patch it. Sometimes the patch is a dangerous surgical procedure. Sometimes it's a drug to cover up the hypertension, the diabetes, the gout, the depresssion, the ezcema, the menopausal symptoms, the GERD.... whatever. Do you realize that it... whatever it is that you have, that you are suffering from... is never fixed? It is merely patched, like filling a pothole without fixing the road.

Now when you hit a pothole, when it is big and ugly enough, can lead to other problems... damaged suspension, unbalanced wheels, even serious damage to tires that may lead to a serious accident. What about your "filled-in potholes," your conditions that are sort of controlled/maintained by Medicine? What happens when they open up, and suddenly get bigger? What can happen to you?

Chiropractic is totally different story. We don't fill in your potholes. In other words, we don't treat your diseases or conditions. In fact, we recognize that your "road," your body, is living, and therefore guided by that self-healing, self-correcting, even self-perfecting miracle called Innate Intelligence. We correct interference to that magic, that Innate Intelligence, and the road fixes itself. New cells. New messages. New road.

What makes more sense? What leads to Health? What doesn't?
