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. Tige Asks some important questions of interest to Leesburg residents - Chiropractor Leesburg Dr. Tige Asks...

Can subluxations clear up on their own?
Sometimes. Today's hectic lifestyles can be a constant source of subluxations. Fortunately, our bodies have the ability to self-correct many of these minor problems as we bend and stretch, or when we sleep at night. When subluxations don't resolve, you need to see our Leesburg office for chiropractic care!
What can a chiropractor do for asthma?
Many people think of chiropractic as exclusively dealing with the spine. But I'm interested in the spine because it covers the nervous system. Problems in the spine can produce problems in the organs and tissues controlled by the affected nerves—including those to the lungs and bronchial tubes. Find out how chiropractic care has helped those with asthma.
