It is my aspiration that Chiropage will help the world become healthier. Access to the latest resources will allow doctors to be safer and smarter. Students will be given the tools to be better prepared to enter practice. Patients will become more involved with their care and have a greater understanding of chiropractic. The most common complaint I've heard from fellow practitioners is how hard it is to educate patients on the importance of subluxation correction.
Many patients have a hard time grasping the idea of health enhancement.
These patients are motivated by their immediate needs, and due to the lack of proper education they choose to pursue healthcare solely for the purpose of pain relief. Some patients cannot be reached. I, however, have found that it is sometimes the manner in which we try to reach patients and not the message itself, that creates barriers to understanding the principles of chiropractic. Some patients need visual educational tools, others need auditory. Some don't like to be lectured to, while others appreciate their doctors' sincere attempt to educate them.
