SOUTH SHORE FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

"Where Is The Rest Of Your Family?"
I find it very intriguing and perplexing to care for only a fraction of the family unit. Why would one family member care for their spine and leave the rest of the family home? Only to develop subluxation degeneration that initially motivated them to seek care. A few analogies come to mind: One family member eats a well balanced diet while ignoring the fact that the rest of the family eats McDonald's, or one participates in a dental hygiene program allowing the rest of the family to neglect their oral cavities.

No responsible family member would stand for this but why are so many complacent when it comes to spinal hygiene. I recollect when I was young in practice really struggling with this phenomenon. I even shamefully recall suggesting to people that they didn't care for their families. I regret such suggestions and sincerely do not question the authentic love we all have for our families. So why does this phenomenon exist?

Years of study have lended me to conclude that it must be a lack of understanding. No different then most problems that continue to plague our world. Why can't the chiropractic profession follow the foot steps of the dental profession? In the 19 th century very few participated in dental hygiene. Here we are in the 21 st century with very few people understanding the vital importance of spinal hygiene.

Why is it so difficult for people to understand that their nerve system controls every aspect of their lives? Vertebral subluxation compromises life on every level. This is my life's work.
