As part of the upper cervical care Phoenix we provide, I’ve been giving a few public presentations lately about the work we do in our office and the response has been very interesting. All positive but one statement I keep hearing over and over again has got me thinking about how important clear communication of expectations followed by application really is. Think about that as you read this. The response I get from people has been something along the lines of:
“I feel what you do is so much MORE than chiropractic.”
“Dr. Call, what you do is not chiropractic. It’s what chiropractic should be.”
“I know all chiropractors are different but you are just something else.”
I’ll be honest. I’m flattered most of the time when I hear this. Partly because most typically have a preconceived opinion on chiropractors and what they do. After a conversation or sitting in one of our presentations, they discover our office is different than anything they thought. But at the same time, I am reminded of how much work I have to do because the majority of people simply do not understand what chiropractic is and what it is about.
Let me explain. If you go to the chiropractor and get adjusted every single visit it’s not working and he or she is not doing their job. That would be like going to the dentist and every time you walk in for a cleaning you walk out with a cavity filled or a root canal done. Would that ever happen on every visit? No! Why? Because it isn’t always necessary. Is it sometimes needed? Definitely.
Chiropractic is about the health and function of your nervous system.
Proper nervous system function promotes optimal health, adaptation, growth, and healing. In our office, we check when and when not to adjust someone on every single visit. We do so by measuring brain stem function. Our goal is actually to adjust our patients as little as possible. And when we discover that someone doesn’t need an adjustment we celebrate. And we have confidence, certainty, and peace of mind in knowing that the nervous system is functioning as it should. When neurological communication is restored miracles happen. Those with chronic and debilitating health conditions get their lives back. Children with neurodevelopmental disorders have improved quality of life. And patients ALWAYS say “Why didn’t I find you sooner?!”
There isn’t something wrong with you every time you walk through the door. If you find yourself battling the same symptoms and health challenges over and over again and the cycle continues no matter what you do we may be able to help you. Contact us to arrange a complimentary consultation with our chiropractor in Phoenix to see if you are a candidate for the work that we do. It is chiropractic, pure and simple, and it works wonders.
