"Green" Approach Towards Health


With today’s quickening pace of life and their accumulated stress levels, more people find themselves troubled by conditions related to their mental health. Many report getting tired easily and with pain centered on the back and neck both with and without attendant headaches.

Yet, when these same people go to a hospital and have a physical, their MD often reports finding nothing wrong with them physically. If the MD finds nothing wrong then he/she has little to offer. This is when people might consider turning to what might be the “GREENEST” approach to good health, namely chiropractic.

We consider Chiropractic “GREEN” because it is one of the safest, drug-free and non- invasive therapies available. While nothing is put in the body that may be toxic, nothing is removed from the body either. Chiropractic respects the internal environment of the person much the same way as the “GREEN movement” is respectful of out external environment says Dr. Steve Hoffman, an acknowledged expert in this field.

Additionally, many find chiropractic after other, more traditional, more invasive and more dangerous and toxic approaches have failed. And, it is on these people, failed by the medical establishment, that chiropractic has survived and thrived for over 100 years.

While most patients feel immediate relief following chiropractic care, the important thing to note is to seek chiropractic first!

BOTTOM LINE:
The “GREEN” movement is about sustainability and being environmentally conscious. We see how the overuse of drugs is now polluting our water. How many drugs and hormones are we, and our children, absorbing from our own water supply. Chiropractic has never prescribed drugs and has never contributed to this problem. If more people were to take a responsible and sustainable approach to their health, both our internal and external environments would benefit.
