Often, a patient will call me a “miracle worker.”\u00a0 I usually reply with the standard “I’m so glad that I’ve been able to help . . .” and so on.<\/p>\n
Here’s the thing, though.\u00a0 I’m not a magician.\u00a0 I’m not a “faith-healer.” I don’t stick pins in a doll.\u00a0 There is really nothing I do that could be considered a “miracle cure.”<\/p>\n
Here’s what I do.\u00a0 Like any other doctor, I examine the patient — an exam in my office consists mostly of orthopedic, neurologic, and palpation testing (using my hands to detect abnormal joint motion, swelling, misalignment, etc).\u00a0 Sometimes I send patients for an X-ray or MRI study.<\/p>\n
If the patient has a condition I think I can help, I present a treatment plan.\u00a0 Every treatment modality in my office has a standard code that is recognized by other practitioners (MDs, DOs, PTs, etc) as well as insurance companies (insurance companies would never pay for a “miracle cure” — they scrutinize every type of procedure to the nth degree before they will ever agree to cover it).<\/p>\n
If the patient accepts my treatment plan, they usually get really good results (usually very quickly).\u00a0 This is where I am often accused of being a miracle worker.\u00a0 They are just so amazed that I can help them without drugs or surgery.<\/p>\n
Most people think that the only “real” solutions to medical problems are drugs and surgery\u00a0 (pharmaceutical companies do a great job of keeping this myth alive with their marketing).\u00a0 Sometimes drugs or surgery are required.\u00a0 For most back pain, headaches, neck pain, and other spine and joint conditions, drug-free, scalpel-free chiropractic will do just fine.<\/p>\n
I don’t perform miracles.\u00a0 I just do what I was trained to do, and I have some experience under my belt.\u00a0 Don’t be overly surprised if I can help you too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
