We had a friend who was overweight. She never seemed too worried about her health. Even when she fell off of her horse, she didn’t come in to have her spine checked. Even though we knew we could help her, she never made that decision to give chiropractic a try. She died suddenly of a massive heart attack at the age of 49, leaving a teenage daughter and husband.
Not too long after this, another person contacted us after being exasperated with the medical care he had been receiving. He was very ill, and he never made it to his first adjustment. He died of a stroke the weekend before he was to get started with his care.
Right on the heels of these events, a practice member told us that she wanted to get a family member in who is dealing with serious pain that medical doctors couldn’t help her with. She is waiting until the medical doctors tell her she needs surgery before she’ll try chiropractic.
In our office, we often hear our practice members tell us that they are trying to get someone they love to come in. They know that if they could just convince this person somehow, he or she would get the help they need.
Part of the problem is that our practice members are unsure how to tell others about what we do here. Getting past preconceptions can be difficult. So is waiting until things get really bad before trying chiropractic in desperation, as a last resort.
Some people are just shy or are afraid they will seem judgmental. It’s time to get over that.
You’ve heard the stories about the suffering. The frustration. The drugs. The surgeries. A few caring words from you may improve, or save, someone’s life.

A Few Facts For Those Analytical Types

- Chiropractors specialize in removing nerve interference, which re-establishes the body’s ability to heal and function properly.

Tell Others
Whether you are dealing with a health issue or not, everyone can benefit from a healthy nervous system. In addition to proper nutrition, daily exercise, and a positive attitude, spinal health is an essential factor in your overall well-being. Many of our practice members who came in to address a specific condition continue chiropractic care to help them maintain their health. They tell us they sleep better, recover more quickly from injuries or colds, and handle stress better. Do you think these people have a better chance at living a long, healthy, productive life?
