The medical model of healthcare is structured around placing a name on your sickness and then prescribing the drug or drugs that are medically approved to suppress your symptoms. As a chiropractic physcian I really do understand and respect that there are times when a patient needs a prescription drug and I feel strongly that properly prescribed medication can and does save lives.  It's the millions of prescription drugs that are needlessly prescribed that concern me.  These drugs not only take hundreds of lives each day in this country, they are part of a system of sickness care that has fought wellness care providers for decades.  Despite the AMA's multi-million dollar political lobby funds the American public is increasingly  searching for an alternative solution to this 2.6 trillion dollars sickness model of diagnosis and disease driven medical system.  I see well educated patients each day that have not abandoned their medical doctor, yet they are seeking to add an alternative health professional that sees symptoms for what they are; the body's warning system that something is wrong.  As a chiropractic physician who uses not only modern chiropractic, but homeopathy, auricular acupuncture and science based nutrition I do not see my patients as a diagnosis, but rather as a whole person whose sickness may have more than one root cause and as a whole person who can many times regain true health if the root causes of their symptoms are identified, corrected  and not suppressed with toxic drug therapy as a first resort.

Much of medical care is based on medical diagnosis, a system which categorizes your health problem with a name and medical code.  Unfortuneatley, more often than not this process leads to a prescription drug and the attempt to suppress the body's symptoms.  This may be necessary in some cases, but at what point do we really make the effort to identify the true cause(s) of a patient's illness and attempt to improve the patients health with natural methods so the symptoms go away and wellness is restored???Chiropractic care seeks to identify the causes of illness and remove these imbalances so the body can heal. Please note that there are often times more than one cause or imbalance in the body. In my practice, we use chiropractic, homeopathy, auricular acupuncture and science based nutrition to take a "whole body" approach to improving your health.Dr.Johnson  

Why go on a short lived weight loss program only to regain the weight, plus more???? Lifetime weight loss means adopting a healthy weight loss program that is based on a healthy diet, exercise and science based nutrition that you can live with, permanently.  Our patients are evaluated from a whole body perspective and sound weight loss and healthy diet must be centered around a healthy musculoskeletal system, a healthy nervous system and a healthy metabollic system. Few diets take this whole body appoach, we do!!!!Dr.Johnson

In a recent article by a Raleigh attorney the following good advice is given for auto accident victims.  ONE: Report the crash to the proper authorities as soon as possible. TWO: Take pictures of your vehicle and the accident scene. Record names, addresses and phone numbers of the other driver and witnesses. THREE: Be careful when talking to the insurance representatives, (despite their sincere demeanor, they're working for the insurance company, not looking out for you). FOUR:  Seek legal counsel for a free consult. Know your rights before you make a mistake.
