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. Rick Asks some important questions of interest to Springboro residents - Chiropractor Springboro Dr. Rick Asks...

How come medical doctors don't recommend chiropractic?
That's changing. Years of prejudice and bias are giving way to research showing the benefits of chiropractic care. As more and more Springboro folks seek alternatives to drugs and surgery, more and more medical practitioners are referring their patients to chiropractors.
What controls every cell, tissue and organ of your body?
DNA? Wrong. Immune system? Wrong? Hormones? Wrong. It's your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body. When a chiropractor sees a Springboro patient with say, stomach problems, we want to know why the brain is unable to properly control and regulate the stomach. Which prompts us to examine the nervous system—the focus of chiropractic care.
