Our Philosophy
Someone once asked me what it was that we were attempting to do as a chiropractor. Heal the sick? We certainly wanted to participate in that process. Did we want to make people feel better? We knew that if they were functioning better, they would automatically feel better when their system was back in balance.
What is a Doctor?
As a doctor of chiropractic, our academic requirements to become a doctor of chiropractic, are stringent. We actually have more hours in the areas of gross anatomy, neuroanatomy, physiology, radiology... just to name a few "ologies", but that's not what makes a person a doctor. Money doesn't, social status doesn't, a huge ego is not the hallmark. So what is it that makes a doctor, a doctor?
If you looked up the word "doctor", one of those definitions would be - Teacher. For my wife, Dr. Laura, and I, if you aren't educating people on how to BE healthy, then all you are doing is perpetuating the myth that we were all designed and are destined to be, sick. But, this isn't an answer this particular person was open to hearing.
I remember the story of the father who was working at home one afternoon in his study and his little girl came bounding in, full of energy and questions and as she kept up her bombardment of, "what's-this-and-why", he became frustrated. He needed to distract her for just half an hour more.
Heal the Person, Heal the World
He spotted his National Geographic magazine and turning to a full color drawing of the world, he quickly tore it out and right in front of his daughter's eyes, tore the map into several pieces. He handed them to her and told her they were going to play a game.
"Without saying a word, see if you can put the map back together and when you're done - so am I. And we'll go have some ice cream." Being a child of unbounded confidence, she readily accepted the challenge. She took his tape dispenser from his desk and dropping onto the floor, she immediately went to work.
The father couldn't help but feel a bit guilty about the task he had set his child. It would almost be impossible. She had not yet learned about maps, or countries for that matter and certainly she had no idea of what went where.
Imagine his shock when she brought him the taped up map in EXACTLY the right shape, country for country. "How -- how did you do that?", he inquired. "Easy", she replied. She took the map from his hands and turned it over. On the back was the picture of a man and a woman standing next to each other. "I knew that if I could put them back together, the world would turn our right too".
This is why we became chiropractors. Our vision is of a healed world. Help in healing the people, you help heal the community they live in. Heal the community and you heal the city. Heal the city and you heal the state and so and so on until you have helped heal the world. Do that, and everything else falls into place.
We Need Your Help!
Our vision is to heal the world. But w can't do it alone. We depend on those whom we've helped, to tell others about chiropractic. It's an amazing thing when you put the desire to help others out into the universe.
Our clients 'sign on' to our vision. As a result, referrals pour in, every day. It's a busy practice. But, we take each referral as a sacred trust. Handed to us by those who refer their family, friends and colleagues. Together, we participate in the greatest experience; knowing that we all matter and the love we have to share continues to expand and embrace others who simply want an enriched and fulfilling life.
We want to inspire you, coach you and assist you through your transition from where you 'Are', to where you want to 'Be'. And in this way, we all get to participate in healing the world!
