GET OFF THE HOSE!

[Doc R]

I have been using an old chiropractic analogy with many of my patients
recently. Picture a garden hose -- picture a garden hose being
stepped on. What happens? Decrease flow of water. This is very similar
to the nerves being choked off -- decrease nerve supply. Now we take
the foot off the hose -- viola! the water flows. Some plants
immediately perk up -- some plants it takes a long time to repair and
some plants have died. Generally the longer the flow has been choked,
the longer it takes to repair --- sometimes even a little fertilizer
might help (nutritional supplements). If the flow is stopped though
--- fertilizer won't help. Make sure the you GET THE FOOT OFF THE HOSE
and keep it off regularly while regularly checking it.
