While there’s no denying that chiropractors differ from one another, there are numerous things that they share in common. What do you say we get to know some of them better?

Why is it chiropractors continue to take care of such a small portion of the people in our great country? Are we telling the story? Are we telling it hard enuff?

Terms like social media and Web 2.0 are some of the most overused phrases being passed across the Internetz, as people try to grab a grip of understanding, and explain the phenomenon to others, regarding the millions of seemingly meaningless discussions and often times one-way conversations, taking place on the web today.

I love being a Chiropractor because I have the opportunity to change people’s lives by sharing the truth with them about Chiropractic. I love when the lightbulb goes off over their head.

I love sharing Chiropractic because I believe that every man, woman and child should know the truth and then be able to make a choice about how they want to take care of their own health. I can’t control or change their actiions but I can get better at communicating my truth and do get better every year.

Geri said the adjustment given that day changed and saved her life, leaving her amazed with the results of chiropractic care.
