When I tell people that I am a chiropractor, the conversation often drifts towards questions regarding some type of symptom or issue they are experiencing. When people think of chiropractic, they think of neck pain, back pain, sciatica, and headaches. They do not think about the spine’s effect on the nervous system.

Health Insurance is Not Healthcare By: Dr. Andrew Baranski
The health status of this country is inferior. The U.S. leads the world in rates of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. One out of every five children is overweight, and one out of every three is obese.

To better benefit society as a practitioner, I have realized that I must better guide patients in managing the power of the mind.
