“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” William Shakespeare (Romeo and Juliet)

There are many named diseases – cancer, arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, anxiety, depression, high blood pressure – but they are only names. The fact is that named diseases are an illusion. Collections of symptoms are given names for the convenience of the medical doctor. The patient is put in the same category as all the other people so diagnosed and that makes it easier for the physician to recommend drugs or some other intervention. 

Simply stated, modern (orthodox) medicine lumps people into categories: everyone in that category, diagnosed with this disease, gets that drug.

However, when looked at scientifically, it becomes abundantly clear that no two people ever experience the same disease or have the exact same symptoms. People are unique. This uniqueness of disease has been recognized by traditional healing arts. 

That is why practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine and other healing arts say, “There are as many different diseases as there are people.”

Chiropractic, as an Empirical healthcare system, sees every patient as unique. You are not placed into a category nor labeled. The more unique the care, the more successful the care.

By releasing deep stress (subluxations) from your body, chiropractic brings your body into harmony and balance with its internal environment and external environment. When a chiropractor adjusts your body to release subluxations, your immune system works. Chiropractic improves your physical and mental function.

Chiropractors don’t put any drugs or chemicals into the body, and they don’t remove body parts-and yet for well over a century millions of people have benefited from chiropractic care. 

We’re not just referring to musculoskeletal pain such as the back, wrist, arm, shoulder, neck, head, leg, hip, and other pains but much, much more.

Chiropractic has become the largest drug-free healing science, art, and philosophy in the world because of its successes. At a time when organized medicine attacked chiropractic care, the numbers of people visiting chiropractors exploded. Why? Because it works! Chiropractic is drug-free (no side effects or drug reactions), safe (chiropractors’ malpractice premiums are a small fraction of those of a medical doctor, especially orthopedists) and effective-as millions of people around the world will testify.

If you’d spend a day sitting in the waiting room of a chiropractor’s office, you’d be impressed with the many different people coming in for care. First of all, consider the ages- from newborns to the elderly, pregnant patients, and those who are literally carried in and walk out.

Second, you’d hear stories such as: “my child doesn’t have any more ear infections,” “he’s not as clumsy and has more self-confidence,” “her asthma seemed to disappear,” “his ability to concentrate has improved,” “his grades are better,’ “his allergies have stopped,” and many, many more.

Athletes especially benefit from regular chiropractic care – students, weekend, amateur, and professional athletes.

The role of the chiropractor is to make sure there are no distortions, blockages, subluxations, and other forms of nerve interference in your spine.
