The smoke detector–a common item in most homes, with usually 2-4 per  house.  If your smoke detector went off in the middle of the night, what would you do?  The obvious answer:  GET EVERYONE OUT OF THE HOUSE! But why wouldn’t you just remove the batteries and go back to sleep?  O.K….so you all have a strange look on your face.  Of course, that would be ridiculous!  But let’s put this in the perspective our our body:  If your “smoke detector” were to go off, such as a headache, heartburn, asthma attack, muscle spasm (insert your symptom here), what would you do?  Would you cover up the symptoms by taking a medication just like taking the batteries out of the smoke detector?  Wouldn’t it be better to correct the cause of the problem?  Pain is an indication that something is wrong–you need to correct the problem, not hope it will go away. Nerve interference (caused by a bone out of place in your spine putting pressure on a nerve) is usually the cause of these symptoms–yes, even heartburn and asthma! So, the next time you are having some discomfort, think about your smoke detector and be glad it has fresh batteries–IT’S TIME FOR AN ADJUSTMENT!
