Every doctor, regardless of his practice, must in the end admit that something within the body heals it. The surgeon may remove a diseased organ or part but the healing of that surgery and the restoration of normal or near normal function if it can occur will be done by the law of life in … Read more
Is it possible to “over adjust”? If an adjustment means to make right then I would think it is impossible to over adjust. In the end it is the innate intelligence of the practice member’s body that takes the force introduced by the chiropractor and uses it to correct a vertebral subluxation. It really does … Read more
The uniqueness of the non-therapeutic OSC approach in chiropractic care is that it is also for non-symptomatic people, those without a medical condition, but still subluxated.

When gasoline was $.25 a gallon automobiles had an individual and distinctive look about … Read more
The only equality in life occurs at birth when we are all born with 100% innate intelligence and 0% educated intelligence. After that the former stays the same, the latter increases unequally, making us no longer equal.
The greatest knowledge we have as chiropractors is the understanding of how little we do in the “work of chiropractic”. The more we apply that knowledge in our attitudes, our explanation to the public, the more effective we are as chiropractors.
