Don't Ignore Your Doctor!

One of the first things my patients say when they come to me is that they're seeking chiropractic care because they don't want to go to their regular doctor. Or they're sick of being on pain medication. Or the treatment they were receiving in the past wasn't working, so when they had some problems this time they chose to seek out a chiropractor instead.


Part of being a chiropractor is understanding not only the back and the joints but every part of what makes the body tick. Any time you go to a chiropractor you're going to receive not only a thorough evaluation, but a thorough evaluation based on an intimate knowledge of each of your body systems. It's important to understand that chiropractics doesn't stand alone as a practice, just as traditional medicine cannot and should not stand alone. Chiropractics, alternative therapies, traditional medicine, acupunture and various other forms of treatment have to work in tandem in order to keep the body whole, healthy and operating at peak form.

When a patient comes to me with a problem I can't solve I'm going to recommend they see their regular physician, and I would hope a physician would do the same. After all, we're all in this together-arent' we?
