We just had a fantastic weekend at S.P.A. days for chiropractic licensure. It was awesome! There is so much energy and buzz going around about the chiropractic approach to health, and so many excited chiropractors out there--so why are people still crawling to the pharmacies? It is OUR fault, the chiropractors. We are the ones acting like we are doctors of pain (not optimal health) and we use our hands to heal the pain, not a prescription pad and pen. We often times become expensive ibuprofen.
Listen. In chiropractic care, our focus needs to be on prevention and correction by removing vertebral subluxations of the spine. Most often, we should be having patients doing exercises and sustained traction so that they can hold the adjustment longer and have long-term results. End of story. Yet, we think that all we can treat is pain. We are the ones with the problem!
As health care comes around in full circle, as allopathic approaches to health change to holistic, and as the world finally turns against the ones telling us how OUR own health should be managed, we in chiropractic need to stand a little taller and join hands and hearts and be united.
Let's change our thinking as a society to prevention--focus now on our health and not rely on an emergency vehicle later. Do you change your oil every 3-5 thousand miles, even without an oil light on? Do you go to the dentist every 6 mos even without a tooth ache? That is prevention thinking folks, and if you haven't (including all chiropractors out there) had your spine checked for a subluxation in a while I suggest it is time, because that is prevention of disease.
Let's all jump on board and aim for the cause of prevention. Seize the day.
Our chiropractic program utilizes the latest state-of-the-art research and technology to help our patients achieve phenomenal results in a relatively short period of time!
