Step Off the Tail

You walk into your chiropractor's office, hop on a table and point to where it hurts. But he chiropractor adjusts a totally different part of your spine... not even close to where you feel the pain. Why?

There's an old saying: When you step on a dog's tail, it barks out the other end. In chiropractic, that means where you hurt (the bark) isn't necessarily where the problem is (the tail). Many times the symptom you feel in one are is due to a remote cause. For example, someone with sciatica may feel pain down their leg, but the cause of the problem is a vertebral subluxation in their spine.

Chiropractors recognize that if you address the cause of the symptoms, the body will no longer have a need to produce it. That's why chiropractors focus on fixing underlying problems and not superficial effects. Chasing after symptoms is like a dog chasing after it's own tail---spinning around and around until it gets dizzy, confused and frustrated. It's much smarter to address the underlying cause from the start.
