More and more people are discovering the benefits and importance of having Chiropractic care as an important part of their life. Many of my patients that started to maintain their health through Chiropractic care are taking charge and control of other aspects of their health. I have patients begin the battle of stopping smoking, beginning exercise programs, starting diets, or simply making a change for the better in their health.
As a doctor I try and educate my patients of the importance of living healthy. Not just doing a new fad work out or the lose ten pounds in ten days idea of dieting but actual lifestyle changes. I have a deep passion for helping people, (often my staff accuses me of talking to much when I have patients in the waiting room) but when I see the opportunity to help someone live a better quality of life by opening their eyes to new information or giving them the encouragement and accountability that allows them to act I will capitalize on that opportunity.
One area that I strive to help people understand is a philosophy of Chiropractic care as stated by R.W. Stephensen DC. PhC. A universal intelligence is in all matter and continually gives to it all its properties and actions thus maintaining it in existence. This concept may be hard for many to understand but to me its a beautiful. The challenge with our health is this, people today believe in symptom treatment more than treating the cause. For example, most Americans when challenged with a headache will reach for a OTC drug that treats the pain associated with the headache; the problem is this the headache is still there, or rather the cause of the headache is still present within the body. If you ignore the signs that your body gives you you will ultimately lead your body towards sickness and 'dis' ease.
So what does this mean you might ask? Regardless of your belief in a higher power or god, people need to acknowledged the signs and signals your body gives you; my personal belief through religion and profession as a chiropractor is that God designed our bodies with an amazing ability and aptitude towards health. My goal is to help people better understand the power and benefit of listening to the signals their body is giving them and to help optimize that communication between mind and body.
