Last week, I had an interesting experience with a patient that I have had on more than one occasion.  She came to me for her “normal” back issues which resolved after a few adjustments…which was great for her, only she was presenting with symptoms that didn’t look good. I strongly suggested she visit her MD for some further tests/labs regarding her health which she did follow though with this and was promptly sent home with an antibiotic rx very casually. I saw her a couple of weeks later and her condition seemed improved, but I wasn’t so sure the antibiotics were the answer and I again sent her back asking her to “request” further tests which the MD agreed to reluctantly (from the chiropractor’s request :-). She had further tests and was admitted that day. In some ways a good ending, a serious health condition (that could be fatal) was found that antibiotics had nothing to do with.  The patient called from the hospital to thank me for “staying after” her to get further medical attention…

A visit to the chiropractor can prove to save a life. We adjust the spine and care for the person as a whole looking to optimize health and well being.
