We are not saying that your family doctor or surgeon should not be a part of modern medicine, on the contrary we all have been involved in an emergency situation were their help was invaluable. Some of us have had our lives saved in the very competent hands of our own medical doctors. What we are saying is that you should consider all of your options before committing to drugs or surgery, that you should consider natural health care first and that you should consider other ways to prevent heath concerns.
Chiropractors consider themselves as the portal of entry into the health care system.
Our patients are surprised to find that our exams are some of the most thorough they have had in their lifetime. Understand that your chiropractor will advise you of all of your options even if it involves being treated by a surgeon or specialist. Many times we have had patients that came into our chiropractic offices complaining of back pain only to have the chiropractor diagnose cancer or other ailments. Early detection is one of the strong suits of your chiropractic visit. In recent years we have begun to see medical doctors also recognize the chiropractic physician as a person to refer their patients, after all we are the spine specialists.
