Chiropractic’s positive impact on the health of the human body is enormous because it improves the function of the nervous system, which controls and coordinates every structure and function in the body.

The big question then is; if chiropractic is so powerful, why is it known to such a small percentage of the population?

3 reasons:

1.  Most of us are born and raised in the medical model.  Take a pill for      every symptom or pain.  By the time a child is in kindergarten, he has       seen thousands of drug commercials.  Instant gratification.  Relief.  The tendency then is to place chiropractic in the same model and it DOES NOT FIT or work in that model.

2.  Medicine tried to eliminate chiropractic in the 1920’s, 1930’s and 1980’s. First, by having chiropractors arrested for practicing medicine without a license.  Chiropractic won in all the state courts, claiming that it was not  about diagnosing and treating disease (medicine), but about locating and correcting vertebral subluxations.  Second, by slander.  They called us quacks and charlatans and cultists because we were helping people when medicine failed.  Some people, in ignorance, still believe the lies from many years ago.

3.  Chiropractic, in order to gain acceptance in the medical and insurance communities, has positioned itself in the last 40 years as musculo-skeletal treatment, mainly back and neck pain.  Since many chiropractors believe that chiropractic is about back pain, much of the public believes it too.  
     
In truth, chiropractic never meant to be about back pain.  It is so much bigger than that. In its 111 year history, it has restored hearing to the deaf, sight to the blind, movement to the lame, health to the sick, and 
helped in just about any disease you can name.  Removing nerve interference helps organs, glands, immune systems, and every other part  of the body function better.
