BACK TALK-By Hoyts Chiropractic

Why Not Start Here?

Have you ever noticed how drug oriented we are as a society?  Have you ever been with a group of people and had someone mention an illness or pain that they have been having?  Doesn’t somebody nearly always ask: “What are you taking for it?”

It seems that a lot of people automatically assume you must be treating your problems with medications.  I often ask people if they think Americans:  1) Take the right amount of drugs, 2) Take too many drugs, or 3) Take too few drugs.  Everybody always says we take “too many drugs.”  So… what should we do about that?

I have more patients than ever who come here first when something is wrong to see if there is a drug free solution to their problem.  For those of you who are not yet established with a Chiropractor who can help you with day to day questions or with the serious questions-  here’s a good place to start.

When something is bothering, here are some questions to ask:

• What is the underlying cause of this problem?
• What is my body doing?
• Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
• Do I let it run its course or try to change it?
• Is this an emergency problem?

I recommend for non-emergency problems that you continue to ask, especially question number one, until you find the underlying cause; most drugs only mask symptoms and do nothing for the cause.

Doesn’t it make sense to have someone available who can give you non-drug options?

Here’s the deal.  Feel free to call us if you have any questions.  Either Dr. Lacaya or I will call you back.  You don’t need to be an established patient and there is no charge.

If you are trying to be healthy and as drug free as possible, this is a good way to start.
