In my specialty in practice, I deal with the nervous system and how to maximize neurological function that helps to optimize a patients overall health. I am very focused on educating my patients so what I do becomes more of a priority as they better understand all the health benefits of care. It's fun when people do get the big idea and more fully embrace chiropractic as a big part of their overall health care approach. My patients love coming in, and look forward to their next visit because it helps them feel so much better. They can just tell by how much better they feel they are becoming healthier overall.
I have families coming in for wellness care, and many times the kids are rushing back to see who can get on the adjusting table first. Some of that I will admit is competition between siblings, but still they do look forward to getting their adjustments.I help a lot of patients with herniated discs, and have been able to prevent a number of spinal surgeries by correcting what is causing the herniation. If you have a tilted vertebrae, it causes abnormal weight bearing on one side, which causes the disc to bulge to the opposite side. It would be like pushing on one side of a balloon, it will bulge toward the opposite direction. By realigning the spine, this reduces the abnormal pressure on the disc, and many times it can heal over time. I also work on patients who have had neck and back surgery. I do see good results with these, but it is more limited because of the structural alterations from the surgery.
An article I read was entitled “Like Vioxx, ibuprofen may up Heart Attack Risk” written by Daniel DeNoon from WebMD Medical News, and revised by Dr. Michael Smith, M.D. It stated: “The new study, led by Dr. Julia Hippisley, M.D., did show that Vioxx increased the risk of heart attack by 32%, but also linked ibuprofen, brand names include Advil, Motrin, and Aleve, to a 24% higher risk of heart attack compared with people who had not taken any anti-inflammatory in the last three years.” If taken long enough, all drugs do some damage to you that may not be apparent until there is permanent damage and it is too late to reverse the process.
Within each of us is an innate or inborn healing ability that is designed to maintain proper functioning and good health, if it is not interfered with. True health comes from the inside, not from the outside with drugs. There is a time and place for some medications, especially if you have a life threatening health problem. But I honestly feel that only a small percentage of medications are truly necessary. You have to make that decision if you want to get off certain medications, and perhaps look for natural alternatives. There are a lot of natural options that can, in some cases, help your body to work well enough you can get off many medications. That is something you have to decide for yourself.
Scientists tell us our bodies are designed to live eighty to one hundred ten years of healthy living. Yet many children end up having their tonsils and appendix taken out, and as adults, the gall bladder and other organs. If the tonsils are designed to last eighty years minimum, why at age ten to twelve do they become so damaged they have to be removed, along with several other organs over time? Perhaps there is something wrong with how we take care of our health. There is a real health care crisis in this country in part because of the medical approach to health care. I don’t think God made a mistake and put too many organs in our bodies just to give the surgeons a job! We are meant to have a life of abundant health. God did not create us to live a life of constant pain, sickness, and disease until we slowly crawl into the grave.
I have several hundred patients in their seventies and eighties and a few in their nineties who are healthy and enjoying life because they listened to what I shared with them about natural health and the benefits of lifetime chiropractic care.. I'll share how to follow natural laws of health and why that is so important. Research has shown people under regular chiropractic care are much healthier than the general population. I personally haven't been on any medication in over thirty years, and haven't been sick enough to miss more than a few days of work in all that time. I have hundreds of patients who could share similar success stories. I did miss a couple days a few years ago from a rather bizarre combination of events. I like to work hard and live life to the fullest when I'm not working. It is an interesting story I will share with you.
If I were a drug company, if I could develop a drug that would cure you, or one you have to take for the rest of your life, which one would I make more money on? The rest of your life, of course! We donate billions of dollars for research to find a cure for various diseases, but we never see any real results. Where does all that money go I would like to know. Call today!
