"One Adjustment and a Bottle of Windex..."
|
If you've ever tuned into the A&E television program Hoarders, it doesn't take a genius to quickly realize it's going to take more than a bottle of Windex to clean up all the garbage, moldy food and rotting animal poop that's been accumulating in those houses for years and years and years...
But some people accumulate health problems the same way, and unrealistically believe it will take just a visit or two at the Chiropractor's to fix all their issues. From years of neglect, bad advise and denial, their chronic illnesses pile up until they can no longer recognize the healthy state their body used to be in. By the time they decide to see a Chiropractor, they've got a real 'dis-ease hoarding' problem and unfortunately one adjustment isn't enough to clean up the squalor.
The goal of Chiropractic isn't to temporarily sweep your symptoms under a rug to make things look good on the surface, but to actually roll our sleeves up and get rid of the underlying clutter once and for all. Sure it might take a little more time and a bit more elbow grease to transform your health our natural way, but in the end your human house will be clean, pristine and habitable again.

The Real Truth About Chiropractic and Disability
By Dr. Craig Roberts
A new study from the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Studies did something I've been hoping they'd do. They looked at 894 cases of low back pain that resulted in worker's compensation claims. They compared the results in these cases based on whether the patients saw a medical doctor, a physical therapist, or a chiropractor.
The results were nothing short of astonishing.
The people who saw the medical doctors were 60% more likely than the people who saw the chiropractors to have disability recurrence. The people who were treated by the physical therapist were twice as likely to have a recurrence than the people who saw the chiropractors.
Please read that again!
The fact is chiropractors receive more training in treating low back pain without surgery than anyone on earth. This training, coupled with the incredible power of the chiropractic adjustment to help the body to heal itself provides patients with the best chance to obtain the best result in healing.
What blows my mind is that every person in the USA is not referred to a Chiropractor as a first contact when low back pain occurs.
