While listening to a recent podcast by one of the worlds greatest networking experts, he discussed the value of deep skills versus broad skills. In other words, it’s better to do 6 things 1,000 times than 1,000 things 6 times. I was thankful that while I was listening to this, I was reminded that this is how we run our office and service to you.

-Erin focuses on insurance and office management.
-Donna focuses on coordinating patients and performing tests.
-Dr.Lou focuses on identifying and correcting spinal subluxation with chiropractic adjustments.
-Anca (Dr. Lou’s daughter) focuses on greeting you when  she’s on vacation and spending time at the office.

In chiropractic school we were taught that there is an art and a science to being a doctor of chiropractic. The science is the same across the board. It’s indisputable. Like your blood pressure, there are standard solutions when your BP is bad. In chiropractic, it’s not as simple as a universal pill to lower your BP. In chiropractic, the correction of subluxation is made with an adjustment. There are techniques that involve tools like an Activator (clicker) instrument. But with the activator, there is less of an “art of the adjustment”, the tool is calibrated and the treatment is the same in any activator based office. The “Art of chiropractic” is in the correction of subluxation with a manual adjustment – by hand. I’ve been adjusted by over 50 chiropractors. I can assure you, some are more “artistic” than others! If you want the best chiropractor, find the best adjuster.

The gimmicks are unimportant if what you want is great chiropractic care, the offices that offer everything under the sun often lose the depth of experience of a manual adjustor of subluxation and may end up having a broad spectrum of mediocre care. We focus on chiropractic and acupuncture. Our massage therapists perform massage. We all have depth to our care.

As long as you are part of our office community, you will have providers that do a few things tens of thousands of times rather than thousands of things a  few times. You are in good hands.
