Independence Day Message: I Wanted Independence from a Failed System

 I'm going to be selfish here. 

Yes, it is Independence Day when we recall the reason this country was formed with its own unique Declaration of Independence. 

I became a chiropractor to have my own independence.  I desired to be independent from a health care approach that robbed people of their dignity and independence.  

I was a mental health therapist in a medical clinic that promoted the biological theory of mental illness.  It doesn't work.  It's not a secret that it doesn't work, but it's hard to break people from this belief.  Psychiatric drugs do damage. It robs people of their initiative, self worth.  They become apathetic and indifferent.  They also develop other chronic health conditions. 

I wanted to introduce people to approaches that changed their lives for the better.  

Chiropractic offers a profound option.  It's a brain switch via the connections through the spine.

It was my independence from a nagging negativity that can fester into a miserable existence.  I may sound dramatic, but it's very demoralizing watching people struggle to feel good about themselves when everything they try leads to disappointment. 

Chiropractic focuses on how the body maintains itself and strives to recover and and replenish.  However, thanks to a government run college and licencing system, there is a bigger emphasis on pathology.  

Body functions that are exhausted and overworked are called a disease process.  It takes on a life of its own that can turn into a downward spiral.  With less emphasis on a wellness model, the true genius of chiropractic is underutilized. This means there is more work to do spreading the word about chiropratic's approach to brain boosting. 

The brain decides what you need based on its exposures.  Whether you've been injured in an accident or feel your activities are hindered by a gradual change in your movement, metabolism, etc., your brain is dealing with stressors that impact your overall energy.  

Chiropractic helps you unravel it all so you can get back to balance in your life. 

You are invited on a journey of wellness.

I became a chiropractor to offer people a different approach, a different option.  There is no freedom if there are no choices.  Sometimes it seems as if health care is monopolized by one model.  It takes a little digging to find your options. Chiropractic is one of those options. 

Chiropractic does one thing: it modifies the nervous system to function at a useful state of ease. 

You don't want excessive fight or flight.

You don't want the freeze or faint response to tank your reserves to the point of  no return. 

You want to partner with the brain.  Chiropractic is your partner. 

See you at the table....the adjusting table.
