The Second Lesson of My Chiropractic Philosophy

2. Our natural state of being is a healthy system of mental, physical, and spiritual balance. Toxins and trauma cause the balance of each of these areas to shift out of equilibrium.

It starts with one simple aspirin for a simple headache. When one aspirin will no longer cover up the headache, you take two. After a few months, when two aspirins no longer cover up the headache, then you take one of the stronger compounds. By this time, it becomes necessary to take something for the ulcers that have been caused by the aspirin.

Now that you are taking two medicines, you have a good start.  But after a few months, these medications will disrupt your liver. If a bad infection develops, you could take penicillin. Of course the penicillin will damage your red blood corpuscles and spleen so that you develop anemia. Another medication is then taken to cover up the anemia. By this time, all the medications will put such a strain on your kidneys that they may start to break down.

When you take antibiotics they destroy your natural resistance to disease, and you can expect a general flare-up of all your symptoms. The next step is to cover up all these symptoms with a sulfa drug. When the kidneys finally plug up, you can have them drained. Some poisons will build up in your system, but your failing kidneys can keep going this way for quite a while.

By now the medications will be so confused that they won’t know what they are supposed to be doing, but it doesn’t really matter…you’ve already started the quick and deadly slide towards death painfully facilitated by the pill popping “cures” offered from modern medicine.

Chiropractic is not a cure. It does not cure your pain, symptoms and disease. That said, it can be highly effective. Here’s how: by using gentle adjustments, I can realign your spine and restore normal joint movement, which allows proper nerve messages to flow from your brain down the spine and out to all your cells, tissues and organs. Proper alignment and joint movement also allow the information from your cells, tissues and organs to be delivered to the brain so that it is better able to regulate everything going on throughout your body. Restoring and ensuring proper nerve communication enables your body to heal itself naturally. I work with my patients to develop a personalized plan for lasting structural outcomes, preventing the pain from initiating or returning.

I practice using techniques developed by Chiropractic BioPhysics, a sub-specialty within chiropractic treatment that goes well beyond pain relief by focusing and addressing the structural rehabilitation of the spine so that you can get sustainable correction. In short, Chiropractic BioPhysics is an advanced form of chiropractic that is more knowledgeable, comprehensive, and systematic in the way it combines scientific principles and standard chiropractic joint adjustments. Furthermore, we set objective outcomes and then track progress towards our goals to monitor improvement.

Through methods developed in Chiropractic BioPhysics, I create for my patients an integrative program that consists of the following personalized areas: chiropractic adjustments and manipulation, physical traction therapy, exercise, stretching and nutrition. Furthermore, my practice integrates as many other areas of importance for health as are practical, such as routine sleep (homeostasis), toxin avoidance, lifestyle decisions, and even the power of the placebo effect by creating a positive mental attitude towards one’s health goals.

As a chiropractor, I recognize that the natural state of being is a healthy biological system of mental, physical, and spiritual balance.
