This Weekend...

So this weekend, i had to sit through a "sports injury" seminar to get continuing education credits.

The host was football player / Chiropractor Jack Dolbin.

History on Jack: John Tice "Jack" Dolbin (born October 12, 1948 in Pottsville, Pennsylvania) is a former professional American football wide receiver who played five seasons for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League. He started for the Broncos in Super Bowl XII . He is considered one of the most successful players that surged from the World Football League. Before his WFL career he played on sandlots for the semi-pro Pottstown Firebirds of the Atlantic Coast Football League and Schuylkill County Coal Crackers of the Seaboard Football League. National College of Chiropractic graduate and nationally recognized expert on chiropractic and sports.

Anyway, while i was there, i had a Chiropractor from our surrounding area stop me, and tell me i didn't instill value in "Chiropractic" because i have lower fees, and make it available to you, the consumer at a (what i consider) fair fee.

While it's true, i won't perform a complete "MEDICAL" examination on you, like your medical doctor does, we as Chiropractors actually do two completely separate things when compared to your medical doctor. (Well, i do at least)

Where traditional medicine looks for a symptom and a way to hide it from sight, Chiropractic or, Non-therapeutic Chiropractors look at the body as a whole....meaning that when the energy to the body isn't working right, none of the body has a chance to work right. So, by keeping the nerves from being pinched on a regular basis IS the only way Chiropractic can work well.

In contrast, some Chiropractors try to play medical doctor, and "relieve conditions" such as carpal tunnel, or shoulder pain. These are usually temporary fixes because once your insurance runs out, the adjustments stop, and then the body can't adapt well anymore.

This is why i feel it's important to see a Chiropractor on a regular basis, and allow your body to consistently be working at its prime.
