Drugs

Unlike a specifically-targeted chiropractic adjustment, drugs are more like an imprecise, whole-body “bomb.” Most of which do one of two things:

1. Speed Things Up

One of the things drugs (legal or otherwise) can do is to accelerate some bodily process. Laxatives, amphetamines and anti-depressants fall into this category. How much of an increase in bodily function a drug will produce is merely an educated guess.

2. Slow Things Down

The other thing drugs (over-the-counter or prescription) can do is to depress bodily processes, such as antihistamines, stomach antacids and blood pressure medications. Slowing down a bodily process can produce temporary relief while ignoring the underlying cause.

Underlying Cause

We aren’t anti-drug. We’re interested in the underlying cause of why something needs to be sped up or slowed down. Instead of changing your blood chemistry, we look for disturbances to your nervous system because your nervous system controls everything. That’s why chiropractic can be so effective for such a variety of health problems.

Dr. Jason Asks some important questions of interest to Fairbanks Houston residents - Chiropractor Fairbanks Houston Dr. Jason Asks...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
Why does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.
