Chiropractic and living life to the fullest...

Chiropractic really appeals to me because it is about helping people live their lives to the fullest.  The body is governed by the nervous system.  Everything going on in your body is controlled by the brain.  Chiropractic care uses adjustments to make sure the nervous system is running without impingement to make sure the body is taken care of.  

With chiropractic the goal of the doctor is to maintain 100% life.  One of the doctors here was telling a story about one of his patients.  He starting seeing the man, whom I'll refer to as John, after John had been diagnosed with cancer.  While under chiropractic treatment John noticed an improvement in his living.  Before he was under care he felt disconnected from life, like a blob.  Under care he felt more vitality.  John eventually succumbed to the cancer.  A short while after John's death a young man came to the Doc's office.  He introduced himself to the Doc as John's son.  He thanked the Doc for giving his dad back to his family.  John's son said they had the chance to enjoy the final months with their father.

I want to be able to become that doctor.  The one that can restore vitality to his patients.  I look forward to working with patients and helping them in their lives. Also will make sure I objectively measure what is going on in the body so my patients get the care they need.
