I first experienced chiropractic as a child. I remember watching my mom suffer from bad migraines and my dad suffer from debilitating back pain. They met a chiropractor who encouraged them to come in for care to see if he could help them. They both responded very well to chiropractic care. The positive changes in my parents’ health made a big impression on me. By age 12, I knew I wanted to be a chiropractor. I wanted to help others the same way my parents were helped. After their success with chiropractic, my parents began to take my sister and me to get checked and adjusted. We didn’t have any symptoms. We simply got checked for our overall well-being. I didn’t realize it at the time, but looking back, I recognize that I was sick much less often than my friends who were not going to a chiropractor.
During my career as a chiropractor, I have witnessed many patients experience life altering changes. I have seen colicky babies stop crying and sleep through the night; I have seen allergy sufferers improve; I have seen patients with MS and Parkinson’s function better; I have seen people limp in and walk out. I have seen all of this and much more. Chiropractic doesn’t treat any of these conditions. Chiropractic helps the body to function better by keeping the spine more properly aligned. The happiness I have experienced from witnessing these positive changes in others, through chiropractic care, confirms for me that the decision I made to be a chiropractor and a lifetime chiropractic patient myself, was the right decision.
Everything in the body is controlled directly or indirectly by the nervous systems. A large portion of the nervous systems travels through the spine. When the nervous system can function free of interference, it allows the body to be as healthy as possible. By keeping the spine properly aligned, chiropractic helps the nervous system to be free of interference and to function at its optimum potential. This, in turn, helps the body to function at its optimum potential, too. I truly believe the reason I am not on any medications, prescription or over the counter, is because I have been a lifetime chiropractic patient since my youth. I know many others who would say the same. I would like to invite you (and your friends/family) to join me in choosing chiropractic care for life as well.
Sincerely,
Dr. Paul Aalderink
