Is Chiropractic Scientific? - June 9, 2011

Is it at Memorial Day weekend that most people really feel summer has begun regardless of the summer solstice? I think it's the unofficial first day of summer anyway. I had a wonderful weekend and hope that all of you did as well. Remember that keeping up on your adjustments can help to make your summer activities that much more enjoyable by keeping your body in alignment!

If you missed Dr. Chris' talk on Total Health keep your eyes on our lobby slideshow coming up because it will be covering some similar information, not all of it mind you, but we want you to be aware of our goals in your health care at this office.

So here is a question for you, is Chiropractic scientific? I've heard some people mention that medical doctor's are real doctors. I wonder where that misconception comes from? Is it because there is no blood, needles or invasive procedures during an adjustment that some people believe chiropractors are not real doctors? Clearly we all know that chiropractors require as much or sometimes more schooling as medical doctors, the specialty is simply different. I assure you Dr. Chris knows just as much about the biology of the human body as a medical doctor. The difference I see, is that Dr. Chris sees you as a whole not broken down into symptoms or areas (heart, lungs, bones, muscles etc.) He knows that your body is a series of systems not single parts functioning independently. His goal is to get rid of interference in the communication between all the systems.

This ties in with his recent talk on Total Health. So many medical doctors are trained so specifically they tend not to view how their treatment of your heart issue, for example,  might affect another area of your body. So please know that we are not just interested in getting you in and out for a monthly adjustment but to get to the bottom of why certain areas need to be adjusted in the first place and focus there.

We encourage questions on this matter, so please stop in, call or write back here. We are interested in your input and opinion. Have a great week!
