Do they wonder if I view chiropractic as a cure-all; or do people think that it\u2019s a self-serving desire to build my personal practice and wealth?  These are questions that deserve answers.<br \/>\nWhy should a chiropractor have so much passion for performing spinal adjustments?  There\u2019s a good answer and it goes much deeper than what\u2019s obvious.  After all, no one has difficulty understanding that they feel better after being under chiropractic care, but when we look at what\u2019s really going on a whole new layer of understanding comes forth.  A spinal adjustment changes much more than what we feel, it frees up the body\u2019s own communication network (nerve system) to do what it\u2019s intended to do.  In a way it unleashes the power of the body to do its work and that\u2019s a little understood power.  It\u2019s the intelligence that controls and coordinates all body function \u2013 not just how we feel.  So who needs chiropractic?  The answer is simple, anyone who wants to function without interference.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In speaking with a valued practice member (I prefer the term, \u201cpractice member\u201d to the term, \u201cpatient\u201d because it\u2019s better that we think of other people than just cases to work on) this morning, it occurred to me that I &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youneedchiro.com\/blog\/2013\/02\/14\/who-needs-chiropractic\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[22],"class_list":["post-771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.youneedchiro.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/771","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.youneedchiro.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.youneedchiro.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.youneedchiro.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.youneedchiro.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=771"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.youneedchiro.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/771\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":772,"href":"https:\/\/www.youneedchiro.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/771\/revisions\/772"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.youneedchiro.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.youneedchiro.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=771"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.youneedchiro.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
