Dr. Rick's Monthly Question
March 2001
Question:
What is the purpose of pain?
Answer:
Pain is a warning signal that something is wrong and needs to be corrected. Don't just turn off the pain with drugs. Correct the source of the pain! That's the goal of chiropractic care.
PS - Many problems, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, dental problems and spinal decay, don't show obvious pain until it is too late. Get your spine checked regularly, just as you check your heart, blood, and teeth.Archived list of all questions
