Symptoms and underlying health issues
Symptoms Can Be the Tip of the Iceberg. If you are visiting your Chiropractor because you have a symptom, such as pain, it is important to understand that troublesome symptoms don't appear out of thin air. They build up over time like the analogy of straws on a camel's back. Hundreds of straws are stacked up over time, yet with the addition of the thousandth straw, the camel's back suddenly breaks. It's the same with symptoms- the problem can build up and go unnoticed over time, then suddenly symptoms make themselves known in a big way. A symptom may only be the tip of the iceberg- with a much bigger problem lying underneath the surface. After all, a symptoms is just a symptom- it isn't the cause.
