Why Chiropractic?  Good question.  Why medicine?  That's en even better question.  Currently in the USA, the top 4 killers in our country are 1. Drugs/surgery, 2. Heart Disease, 3. Cancer, 4. Diabetes.  Every year the US spends more and more money on disease management, yet each year, disease rates get worse and worse.  Currently we rank 29th in infant mortality.  That means more babies die in this country than countries like Cuba and Slovakia, in-spite of our mega-pediatrics, vaccine schedule, and pre and post natal care.  We are 48th in the world for life expectancy.  Around 20 years ago, we were #11.  The US is also 19 out of 19 for industrialized nations in preventable deaths.  What's the government's solution to our health care crisis?  The government feels everyone should have health insurance.  Does health insurance make you healthy?  Does a basketball make you a basketball player?  What does health insurance pay for?  it pays for Drugs and Surgery...see the top killer in our country.  In fact, we already have a universal health care system, it's called Medicare.  In the Advance Beneficiary Notice, presented by Medicare, it states, "medicare will not pay for services that prevent disease, promote health, and prolong and enhance the quality of life."  What medicine has never done is define health?  How do most people define their health?  They think they are healthy by how they feel?  When do we feel heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, auto-immune disorders, and so on?  We feel them when it's too late. 

Health is not how we feel but how we function.  Your heart is a piece of meat without proper nerve supply.  Your adrenals are useless without proper nerve supply.  Your legs won't function to optimal ability without proper nerve supply.  Function comes from a proper nerve supply.  The only reason a chiropractor looks at your spine is because it protects that nerve supply.  If there is damage to your spine, what affect will there be on the nerve supply?  

This is "why chiropractic?"  Chiropractic addresses the brain-body connection through that nervous system.  We don't treat conditions, just subluxations (interference to that nervous system).  We don't use dangerous drugs or surgery.  We work with the amazing, God-given ability to heal.  It doesn't matter what age you are or how many "diagnoses" you have been given.  You can reach your optimum potential.
