Do Chiropractor believe in drugs (pharmaceutical)?
There are many conditions which require drugs, diabetes, for example. For these conditions people should and must take their medication. But it can be harmful when it masks the symptoms instead of taking care of the problem that is causing the patient discomfort or disease. There are times when access to pain killers would be beneficial to alleviate a patient’s “unbearable” pain; however I find that I just work harder to get the patient past the “unbearable” stage. For many others the answer to health could be lying within their own body. Chiropractors believe that the body can heal itself. Chiropractic was designed from the outset to be drugless, as an alternative to allopathic medicine. Many conditions respond to chiropractic care after the nervous system has been restored to normal function. The chiropractic approach to health is this: First: chiropractic, Second: drugs, and Third: Surgery.
