Those of you who drive may find this picture of a dashboard familiar, especially those who drive a Honda CRV. I recently found out about this feature of my car, which I thought was very intelligent.
I was in a hurry to get to a client’s place to conduct a spinal screening sometime last month. After loading up all my equipments, I quickly jumped into the car and drove towards the destination. A few seconds after I took off, the indicator light on the dashboard came on as you see in the picture, telling me that my door was not closed. Then it disappeared. I thought the contact in the door was loose. So, I ignored it and continued driving. A minute later, the indicator light started blinking again. This on-off sign went on and on throughout the journey. When I arrived at the client’s place, I realized that the left passenger door was not completely shut and the car was trying to tell me about it! I was impressed.
This incident reminded me of how most people tend to neglect their spine. If you feel pain or discomfort at a certain area of your body (anywhere ranging from the head to toe) on a recurring basis i.e. on and off, it means that your spine is in trouble. Your spine is asking you to see a chiropractor to get help. If you choose to ignore it, the problem can develop into more serious problems and even degenerations.
Taking pain relief pills is not a long term solution, as they merely block pain messages from reaching your brain. The symptoms may be temporarily relieved but the cause of the problems remain. Just like if your tooth has decayed, no amounts of pain killers can take away the discomfort. In such a case, you have no choice but to see a dentist to get help. In the same context, problems with the spine can best be addressed by a chiropractor. What better way to deal with the cause of the problems than to just address the symptoms right?
