Chiropractic Elk Grove

We buy life insurance and medical insurance just in case…, right?  On some level this is a good thing.  We don’t want to leave our loved ones behind with the added worry on having to figure out how they can afford to bury us on top of having to grieve over us passing.  As for medical insurance, we don’t have to worry about how to pay the large hospital bill after an accident when we have missed work all because of it. 

Chiropractic is about a hundred years old and still misunderstood.  I want to clear it up for a couple of you that might still be confused.  This again is only my opinion - doesn’t mean much other than to me and my patients.  If I could get the general public to change their view of chiropractic as bone doctors to doctors of the nervous system that would be the first step in the right direction.   If you knew what I know, if you could borrow my brain for a second, if you went to chiropractic college - there would be lines of people lining up out in front of every chiropractic office.  There are some people who see chiropractors today and don’t know the totalaty of what they are “buying.”  It is our job as chiropractors to educate you as to what it is and what you are getting in an adjustment.  The only reason you see models of spines and pictures of x-rays in our office is because it is the means by which I can contact and make a difference on the nervous system.  It is the spine the houses the nervous system. 

One of the things you are getting, when you are under chiropractic care, and may not be aware of it, is faster healing compared to that of your co-worker/not adjusted counter part, if you were both in the same accident.  Chiropratic is becoming known as preventative medicine.  You should definitely see a chiropractor first.  If there is no change in your condition you should then consider a different route.  Each condition and time for which relief should be felt is different for everyone.  For some people it will be one adjustment that makes them feel better.  At most, I would give it four weeks to feel a difference.  You and the doctor should have a conversation about your progress at that point if you haven’t seen/felt any.  Have the doctor take out your original intake form and initial exam to make comparisons with.  In relation to insurance, chiropratic is something to have just in case.  At this point, until  I tell you more about what I know about it - you might just have to trust me.
