I was first introduced to chiropractic when I was about seven years old. My father injured a disc in his lower back. This put in out of work for an extended time. He received medical treatments which were ineffective, finally someone recommended he see a chiropractor. After a regime of adjustment he was able to return to work after a few weeks.

This chiropractor educated my parents on the science of maintaining  a  properly balance nervous system through chiropractic adjustments. They learned from their chiropractors teachings and personal experience that  maintaining proper nervous system function would allow better cell, tissue and organ function , which in turn would help the body better defend its self against bacterial and viral invaders. They also learned that the adjustments helped to maintain proper joint function, which made them less prone to ligament, tendon or muscle injuries.
