Why I am drawn to alternative medicine and choose to embrace holistic chiropractic care...

Because it searches for the answer to WHY?

I was watching a video yesterday of another holistic chiropractor named Dr. Schmitt to freshen up on some new information. In this video he was talking about patients who use chondroitin sulfate for joint health and respond well to using these supplements. Then he went on to explain the biochemical pathways where this is used and why patients respond well to these supplements. The point of this is to find why the person responds well to these because your body should make these things on its own. Maybe you don't need to give your body the end product, but instead give it the correct supplement it needs in making that end product. This would be even better because that nutrient may be needed in other processes throughout the body, but if the person is only thinking of their joint health and not their fatigue for example; they really are not solving the problem.

Chiropractors in general and alternative medicine seek to answer this why question. This is part of what drew me to the profession. Click here to find out why I became a chiropractor. The answer may surprise you.
