I’m Dr. Scott B. Rothman of the Wayne Chiropractic Center and on behalf of Expert Village.com I would like to speak to you about how chiropractic differs from your every day medical systems. There is a significant and very important difference between the way chiropractors and medical doctors approach health ailments. When evaluating and treating patients, chiropractors take more of a holistic approach which includes identifying and correcting the causes of the patients health ailment. In contrast, the medical approach tends to focus more on treating the symptoms of a condition rather than focusing primarily on the actual cause. For instance if you have pain in your arm, pain in your elbow, let’s treat the pain. That is the way a medical doctor will approach where as in chiropractic care we will find out what caused the pain and we will treat that area of your body. Chiropractors believe that correcting the cause of the problem provides significant long term benefits over treating only the symptoms.
