Greek Yogurt and Chiropractic

I read an article this morning on how sales of Greek Yogurt has exploded and that food companies in their quest to increase their profits have decided to jump on the band wagon and produce their own "Greek Yogurt" like product. The secret to the success of real Greek Yogurt is in its simplicity. They make it the way it was meant to be; by hand exactly as mother made it. 


The food companies have decided to do it in a way that has the traditional makers of Greek Yogurt alarmed. High tech procedures are now being used to produce this product by taking regular yogurt and adding ingredients such as starch from corn or tapioca to produce the same consistency and taste. They have tweaked the quality and quantity to come close. The only problem is that it may look the same and possibly taste the same but it is not the same.

And that brings me to chiropractic. When chiropractic began in 1895 it started out with one deaf man receiving an adjustment to his spine and having his hearing restored. It was a simple process done by hand with life changing results. The secret to the success of chiropractic helping sick people get well and helping families live healthier medication free lives is its simplicity. When it is done by hand and applied in a way that removes interference to the communication system of the body, miracles happen. Many of these miracle patients wanted to help others as they had been helped and a chiropractic school was created. 


As the profession and the school flourished it started to attract other health practitioners who wanted to practice chiropractic. They were readily accepted into chiropractic school in the hopes that they would give up their old procedures and only practice chiropractic. Upon graduation many of these health practitioners wanted to provide "more" for their patients began to integrate chiropractic with their old procedures. It was less effective and the results were not the same. 


To this day the success of chiropractic has always been in its simplicity. So remember its not the label on the outside of the package/building that will determine the taste/results its the ingredients/procedures on the inside that will.


In our office we choose to keep it simple and it has been well worth seeing the lives change!

The choice is yours!
Have a great day!
