Most Americans Have Never Tried Chiropractic Care: Part I

Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide and a major driver of healthcare costs in the United States, according to the World Health organization. Over the last 20 years, recommended treatment of low back pain has shifted from use of pain medications including opioids to early use of nonpharmacologic treatments such as spinal manipulation and therapeutic exercise, which are commonly provided by chiropractors and physical therapists.

From Where?

“Seek and ye shall find,” is a phrase I’ve heard most of my life. It’s taken from Matthew 7:7. Even though this verse refers to finding the Lord, it has been used in connection with searching for just about anything. Nowadays, many people dig into their family history in hopes of discovering who they are and where they came from. Also, they probably hope to find something amazing. My dad did just that years ago and I couldn’t believe it at first.

If you have children, you’ve probably asked them what happened at school, only to receive the standard reply, “Nothing.” I once received an email that pointed out that more pointed questions might elicit more conversation. The email suggested one hundred questions that parents/guardians could ask their children to stimulate discussion.
