In my years as a family chiropractor I have notices that people usually consult a chiropractor for one of four reasons.  The first is usually pain.  Often low back pain or headaches.  They've tried medications, PT, exercises, sometimes even surgery, and nothing has helped, so as a last resort they finally try a chiropractor.  Chiropractic works great for pain, but that is just the tip of the iceberg.  Chronic pain is a sign of chronic injury to the nerves.  It often relates back to childhood.  Once the pain starts to clear up many other chronic conditions improve also.

Which brings me to the second reason people seek the care of a DC (Doctor of Chiropractic): correction of a major condition.  A major condition is something like asthma, ear infection, allergies, ADHD, bedwetting, colic, reflux.  Many of the illnesses that are considered typical in children are related to nerve injury and irritation.  Some lucky parents hear early on that chiropractic can help with these conditions and their children get to experience increased health from a young age.

The third reason that families seek chiropractic care is for improved health and prevention of illness.  These are families who know that when they get their weekly adjustments they have fewer illnesses, fewer missed school days and work days, fewer visits to the pediatrician, little or no medication, increased peace within the family, and a better life together.

The fourth reason is for the people who have a big vision for their lives.  Chiropractic has a vision.  It is healthier people=healthier planet.  The people who come to a chiropractor for this reason are fully aware that the better they are functioning, the better they get along with their families, co-workers, and friends; the more productive they are in their jobs and lives; they contribute more good to the world and really make it a better place to live.  They know that the more people who are functioning at this high level, the better planet we will have to live on.  They know that health and wellness start when a child is as young as possible, so make sure all their loved ones are taken care of.  They know that chiropractic is the only thing that makes sure your brain and nerves are functioning at their best so your whole being can function at its best.   They get the big vision and are determined to make the world a better place by telling everyone they know about chiropractic and all its many benefits.
