The Dr.'s Report is the orientation that we have for our new patients and their loved ones. This report explains how Chiropractic works and how our care will help them. We make specific recommendations and paint a picture of a lifestyle. The Chiropractic lifestyle is one that works on very simple principles. They are as follows:

1. The human body is the most powerful natural healer and the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord and spinal nerves) that is within the spine is what controls all function including healing. The spine needs to be well aligned, and well maintained to give the central nervous system the protection and support that it needs. When the spine loses its alignment the overall health of the body will also begin to breakdown. When we begin to correct the spine and all of its supporting structures (the muscles, ligaments and discs) become healthier, and the nervous system is now free of interference so that the body can be at its highest level of function.
2. Proper fuel or good nutrition.
3. Maximum aerobic or cardiovascular function (exercise) and lean muscle mass.
4. Reduce and decrease or avoidance of all medications.
5. A balance of the physical, chemical and emotional stressors in our lives.

The Doctor's report is a very good summary of these principles. In addition the wellness talks that we have every month break down and teach these principles even further. The objective is to direct people to the realization that medicine and emergency care is just that; it is okay when you need it but not a lifestyle. I follow these principles and my family lives this way as well.

My family and I have a health care team consisting of a Chiropractor, pediatrician, medical doctor, a massage therapist, and acupuncturist. They all have different disciplines. When I need a pediatric opinion I call the pediatrician, when I want a massage etc... I want the best for my family. I also want the best for you and your family. Realize that when I talk to you, that I will talk to you as if you were my brother, sister, wife, "younger" mother or father. I want you to have the very best health possible. I want you to realize that my only objective is to have you reach your highest health potential.

Keep doing your best, keep working toward near perfect health and welcome to the family.
