Given the variety of health care alternatives today, which one is best for your family?
Basically, it comes down to two main categories of health care:
1. The traditional medical model or;
2. The natural health care model.
They differ greatly in their approach to illnesses/disease.
Traditional Medical Health Care Model
In the medical health care model, disease is the result of genetics and germs. It “happens” to us; we have no real control over it.
Symptoms and testing determine diagnosis, which is typically treated with medications, surgeries or other treatment therapies/modalities (i.e., radiation therapy). What works for one person must work for all, and doctor knows best – so patients are expected to follow all instructions.
Natural Health Care Model
The natural health care model, including our chiropractic care, views the individual as largely responsible for his/her own illnesses based upon lifestyle choices, reactions to stress, exposure to environmental factors, etc. This model views the human body as a whole; any threat to one body part is a threat to all body parts.
The body has the ability to heal itself, without drug or surgery interventions, with the help of natural therapies that work differently for different individuals. Individuals play an important role in maintaining their health, which is more than just the absence of disease.
True health is optimal well-being in all aspects of oneself – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
Which Model is Right?
It is your duty to be informed about the aspects of both health care models so that you can make intelligent decisions about your family’s health care. You may subscribe to one model and use the other when necessary, but you no longer have to adhere to the principles held by those who came before you – your parents. Both models have merit, but only when they are used as needed to provide the very best that health care has to offer.
We encourage you to try all-natural chiropractic care as your first choice. It is conservative, safe and non-invasive. If you determine that chiropractic care is not helping you or a family member, we can certainly refer you to another provider.
