Chiropractic - An Opportunity to Make a Difference
What if someone told you that you could make a difference in people's lives? If those people would give you the opportunity, you could help them live longer, happier, fuller lives. Allow them to spend more time with their friends and family.
This is the opportunity that Chiropractic has given to me.
Changing the Lives Of People Thru Chiropractic
My Commanding Officer in the National Guards was in chiropractic college and when we had our weekend drills, he would talk about what a great profession chiropractic is. I was always interested in the way the body worked because in college I was studying physical therapy. When he told me about all the heath conditions chiropractic could help I decided that is what I wanted to do. Change the lives of millions of people naturally.
My education started with my Doctorate in Chiropractic which I received from the birthplace of Chiropractic, Palmer Chiropractic College, in Davenport Iowa in 1981. This was just my beginning. I have spent the remainder of my career learning how to maximize the potential of every person that comes through my door. Dr. Vern Pierce, the developer of the Results System taught about the power of the spinal adjustment given in the right place at the right time resulting in the restoration of nerve flow, allowing the body to function at 100%.
Getting Great Results For Patients With Chiropractic
With this career of education I am able to focus on selecting the technique that each patient responds most effectively to. At Widhelm Chiropractic Clinic, we are interested in helping people who want to be helped. We don't want to force anyone to do something they don't want to. Helping children get over chronic diseases and for the parents putting their trust in me and chiropractic. We get good results because we do a thorough exam to see if we can help the patient. If we feel we can help we taylor the care based on the findings of the exam.
Living the Chiropractic Lifestyle
My assistant is my wife, Kay. We have three children that have been raised with a chiropractic lifestyle. Chris who is a computer programmer and has three children, Stacie a personal trainer with two children and Dr. Eric which followed in my footsteps and became a chiropractor. All five of my grandchildren have been raised in a chiropractic lifestyle also. They are drug free!! I enjoy bike riding in the countryside away from all the hustle bustle of city life. This is my thinking time.
I personally receive Chiropractic adjustments every chance I get. The real goal is not to get you healthy, it is to keep you healthy. Getting to the point were we can start working on achieving the ultimate health goal is a long road in itself and Chiropractic is the foundation.
Chiropractic + Health = Lifestyle Path
On top of this foundation of Chiropractic adjustments, you need to be putting good fuel into your body. This means making sacrifices that will change your life. Just be sure when you read your ingredients list on your foods that you are aware of what everything is that is in your food. Be sure you know where it comes from and how it is processed. If this is too much work, then it is probably better to err on the side of caution and choose something else to put in your body.
To use this fuel most efficiently, it is important to fine tune the machine that is your body. Proper exercise to strengthen and straighten your body allows your body to be prepared to receive the most benefit from your Chiropractic regimen.
We use no drugs. When symptoms arrive, we work on getting to the cause of the problem not cover it up with a drug that covers the symptoms. It is like when your cars oil light comes on, do you paint over it so you can't see it or do you put more oil into it because that is what the light is suppose to be telling you it needs?
Our bodies have the same warning signals. We just have to be willing to research what is causing the problem.
It isn't easy to be healthy. Nothing good is every easy. It also doesn't come in the form of a pill or a fad diet. It is a lifestyle and there is no better time to start to walk down that lifestyle path than right now.
Give Widhelm Chiropractic a call and let us help you down that path today.
