Commentary for Ketubot 148:2

תנו רבנן הלכה אצל חכם והתירה מקודשת אצל רופא וריפא אותה אינה מקודשת מה בין חכם לרופא חכם עוקר את הנדר מעיקרו ורופא אינו מרפא אלא מכאן ולהבא

Our rabbis taught: If she went to a sage [after her betrothal] and he released her vow, her betrothal is valid. [If she went] to a physician who cured her, her betrothal is invalid. What is the difference between a sage and a physician? A sage uproots the vow from its roots, but a physician heals only from now and onward.
