“Healing
on a Spare Donut…”
In case you
get a
flat, the temporary “donut” in your trunk
is meant to get you off
the road and to the nearest service station for proper repair ASAP. Manufacturer’s instructions
warn you to take it slow and
easy when driving on them
- those tiny tires aren’t designed to withstand the load of normal driving. But regardless
of that warning, you’ve probably seen some idiot speeding down the highway on one, oblivious
to the potential risks.
Some
people treat their health that way. When they get
an injury or a health
problem they mask their symptoms with
‘spare tire’ medication, all the
while continuing the activities that got them there in the
first place. They
pay
little attention to the risks of temporarily patching their problem with drugs and pass
on fixing the CAUSE of their problem. That can get you
into trouble.
When it comes to acute or chronic health problems, the best policy is
to fix the underlying cause of the
problem the right way instead
of masking the symptoms with
medication. That’s the core philosophy of drugless Chiropractic care. In the
short term drugs may bring you
false comfort, but in the long run
you’re
risking a serious blow out.
