Seems like an obvious thing to expect from your doctor, yet all too often patients are not referred for chiropractic care when it's the best form of care for the patient's condition.  There are times when after consulting and examining a patient it's obvious the patient's condition needs medical care. I'm quick to tell my patient that medical care is what they need.  It's my responsibility to put the patient's health first.   Medical physicians are in my opinion still reluctant to make the appropriate referral to a chiropractic physician, and treat the patient's musculoskeletal problems with drugs. This pattern of symptoms & drugs is played out over and over until the patient's condition can only be treated with surgery.  This makes me sad and sometimes a bit angry that the patient is not getting the appropriate referral.  Chris  

They know how powerful their body is when it comes to self-healing.  The body's innate or inner healer,  is a powerful  system that is regulated by the nervous system.  We must have a healthy nervous system, free of interference to regulate the immune system when a virus or bacteria invades.  Certainly there may be times when a medical drug is needed but too, too, too, often we are druged.  With good nutrition, exercise, chiropractic adjustments and positive thinking you too can decrease your dependency on drugs and surgery.  Awaken the doctor within your body with chiropractic today!  Chris  

Peripheral neuropathy a problem with the nerves that supply your arms, legs and feet affects over 20 million Americans and many of these patients have found no relief.  Our office has been helping these patients and getting great results with special therapies  that help the involved nerves function better.  Our treatments are safe and do not involve drug therapy which as these patients know has some serious side effects.  Over the past 25 years of chiropractic care we've provided Raleigh families our peripheral neuropathy patients are among the most grateful for results. 

Modern computerized adjusting that is gentle, safe and effective.  There's no heavy manipulation, just gentle computer generated impulses of energy delivered by an FDA cleared medical instrument.

Recent studies at three medical schools have confirmed the correlation of  neck tension, postural misalignment  in patients with  tension as well as migraine headaches.  Our headache patients report amazing results with modern chiropractic adjustments.  Computerized chiropractic adjustments are both gentle, safe and  highly effective for most types of headaches.  All too often headache patients have been told you'll have to live with your headaches.  For a significant number of headaches victims relief can come with a few weeks of gentle chiropractic care and results can be maintained with infrequent adjustments that are both safe and affordable.  Chris 

One well documented fact is that even mild motor vehicle accidents can lead to serious injury and degenerative changes in your spine years after the accident.  As a professional dedicated to the ethical care of accident victims I am aware of the need for chiropractic care after many of these accidents.  95% of our accident patients are released within 60 days of care and this reasonable and much needed care can in my opinion greatly improve the long term outcome of your health.  Even many noted orthopedic specialists have advised patients to get care in our office.  Modern computerized chiropractic care is both gentle, highly effective and improves tissue healing post motor vehicle accident.  No referral is needed to receive care in our office after an accident and insurance companies are responsible for reasonable and necessary care per policy guidlines.  Don't get hurt twice, get the care you need today.     

The very fine neurosurgeons I know well would rather not have to do spinal fusion surgery.  It's risky business, has poor outcome and is very expensive.  When a patient's lumbar disc degenerate and serious neurological problem develop it's too late.  My experience and professional opinion is that much of this devastating problem can be prevented with modern chiropractic care, exercise and weight loss.  Dental care is best as prevention and chiropractic care is best as prevention.  A small investment in spinal wellness can pay big if you begin today.  Chris   

Camel milk while not yet available in the U.S. is an amazing food source.  Camel's milk has three times the vitamin C of cow's milk, it's rich in Iron,  has unsaturated fatty acids, and lot's of vitamin B.  Will it be available soon?    Probably not.  Our politicians are too busy making sure we drink lots of soft drinks and other nutritious beverages.  Chris 

Medical studies have shown that patients who ate a diet high in vitamin D(or tood D supplements) reduced their risk of progressive osteoarthritis by 75%.  Another study indicated that low levels of vitamin C may increase the risk of developing osteoarthriis.  Take daily supplements that provide 500mg of C and 400IUs of vitamin D.  Chris 

I recently read in a medical journal that 25% of children and teenagers are taking prescription drugs.  If this doesn't alarm you please stop reading because I can't help you.  This statistic not only alarms me it makes me angry.  If there is any hope for a healthier America it must begin with we adults taking better care of ourselves and teaching our children the connection between whole food, exercise and natural health(chiropractic can play an important role) because we don't drug patients young or old.  If we adults stop taking so many drugs then maybe our children will have a chance for healthier lives.  Chris 

There certainly can be life threatening conditons and circumstances which may indicate the need  for drug therapy or even surgery but that is certainly not the case for most conditions.  Thank goodness more Americans are finally coming to the conclusion that we have a big problem and that big problem comes from trying to fix everything with drugs or surgery.  Most intelligent people know that the body is a self healing organism and the safest and shortest route to better health involves a system that works with the body's natural desire to heal itself.  Chiropractic is the number one health care choice for people who desire better health without drugs or surgery.  I have seen countless patients suffer for years with fibromyalgia, headaches arthritis and disc pain only to realize improvement in their health even after a few weeks of chiropractic care.  Do the right thing for your health and get started with chiropractic today!!!
