Years ago a kind older doctor described our profession as neurophysiologists and biomechanical engineers, otherwise known as doctors of chiropractic. The primary focus of the chiropractic profession in relationship to our patients' health is to establish correct and proper range of motion and nerve alignments. The proper alignments allow for nerve energy flow and electrical energies through the meridians to generate life throughout the system.

One thing about the disease process is the obstruction or stagnation of the meridian channels. This obstruction of the meridian system allows for less than desirable outcomes. If this stagnation is removed from the meridians, healing can occur.

Most patients seeking chiropractic care have prioritized their own reasons for seeking care for their major symptoms. The history of their past and present medical status is essential to determine acuteness as well as chronicity of a particular problem. When the symptom intensifies it usually sends the patient seeking some form of treatment.

Doctors of chiropractic will always help you to focus on your structural, metabolic and lifestyle enhancement. The meridians can be influenced by such things as metal, magnets, buckles and simple things like batteries from watches. There are structural changes that can influence the effectiveness of an adjustment -- high heels, a billfold in the back pocket, poor arch supports and poor posture can result in imbalances of our spine and meridians.


Most "good" doctor and "good " patient relationships will result in the effectiveness of treatment and the compliance of the patient to the specific treatment plan. Most successful doctor/patient relationships are due to communication and a determined outcome or effect for both. Most patients coming in to our offices are concerned if they have chosen the right doctor for their condition. During those first appointments most patients are judging their doctors to see if their choice is correct. Yikes. That's a lot of pressure. Therefore, the proper work up and examination must be done in order for a proper treatment protocol to be effective.

When your doctor explains to you findings about the condition of your health, including spine and meridian systems, we're not just doing it to hear our heads rattle. Our main goal is to give you some kind of understanding about your various conditions and to have a question and answer session about your care and treatment.

There is always a time for healing. Many of the conditions that are seen in doctors; offices began in early life. The healing process needs to take place in its own time frame. This healing is based on the patient's age, the chronicity of conditions, the patient's attitude towards their healing as well as their respect for their health (activities of daily living and nutritional intake for tissue healing). A healthy and positive attitude are more productive to the success of your treatment program.

Positive thought processes breed hope and encouragement from those around us.
