A New Journey and a Welcome

I want to welcome you to "Life to Your Years Chiropractic" health awareness blog. It is my expectation that by visiting this blog frequently you will discover that I am not your typical chiropractor and that I have an unusual and thought provoking approach to health care. As a health care provider I have been a practicing chiropractor and a health awareness mentor for over 25 years. My objective through this blog is to educate and inspire my patients to be responsible for their own health and happiness.

I have been frustrated with our current health care model because in our culture we are not conditioned to make our health a high priority. Health care is extremely expensive and yet not extremely effectual in addressing illness and disease because we wait until they are at our doorstep. My philosophy in health care is to inspire a proactive approach in understanding the components of health and then taking responsibility to maintain health and help prevent illness and disease...a much more rational and cost effective way to manage our health and our lives.

Even before I became a Chiropractor I had a fascination with the natural approach to health care. My journeys have exposed me to many different methodologies and alternatives to addressing health issues that exist side by side with traditional medicine. Many of these techniques and remedies previously considered ineffectual are now well researched by the medical community and accepted by mainstream medicine. This has been a very slow and painful process to bring these alternative practices to the public's attention.

I acknowledge that the human body is an amazing adaptive mechanism that science in all of its wisdom and advances is far from duplicating. I have witnessed for years that an "ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is just as true now as it has ever been. Understanding how to take care of our bodies and whenever possible avoiding unnecessary intervention allows the body (in its own wisdom and healing abilities) the greatest opportunity to heal itself without interference. I recognize that surgical procedures really don't allow you to undo what is once done. For these reasons, I recommend exploring the more conservative, non-invasive and non-toxic methodologies first.

The intention of this blog is to focus on the many different aspects of health, to inspire an interest in self-help, inform you of current health issues, to stay in touch with what is happening on the legislative arena that affects you and to examine various methodologies in addressing specific health concerns.

This blog is part of my website www.lifetoyouryearschiropractic.com that is being developed to become a one stop health information location that will not only educate you on the current health information but will also serve as a resource to explore options in locating a variety of health care practitioners.

Please join our community and visit us frequently on this fascinating health awareness journey.

I look forwarding to hearing from you.
