I've been hearing a lot of radio advertisements recently about leaf guard or leaf gutter guard or whatever it is that really doesn't matter. But in the advertisement, there's a question that a guy on the phone asks. He's like, "what do I need to do to prepare for you guys to come out and fix my gutters?" And the answer is "nothing, we'll take care of it all."
That's a really good question for people to ask. What do I need to do to prepare to go to the chiropractor? Some chiropractors, in some states, some legalities, they just don't have access to imaging. And so they would say go down to the school, go down to the imaging center, make sure you have these series of x-rays or MRI's or CAT scans or my friend over in the next city has what's called a CBCT scan, Cone Beam CT scan, go and get this study done. And then bring those to me when you're ready for me to start taking care of you.
Others would say, well, you need to have this other study done. You need some blood work done. You need to have this done, bring in a list of all your past medical history for the last 20 years, bring in all of your chiropractic records for the last 20 years. Some offices are like that. Some are just like, you know, and we'll work out what we need once we have the interview, the introduction, the first, because we've only met each other either on the phone or through the internet making an appointment on an app. So I don't even know who you are. You don't know who I am. Let's see if we work together first. Let me listen to your story and then we'll be able to determine what you need to do or what you need to bring for the next visit so that we can get a better picture of what's going on. So we have the best chance of helping you overcome this dastardly thing called the Chiropractic Vertebral Subluxation.
Here at Hoskins Chiropractic - Hoskins Family Chiropractic, my portion of pureCHIROnow. When you come in, I just want you to come in. I want you to come in with an open mind. That's probably the most important thing. We live in a culture of everything is about the symptoms, everything is about the pain, everything is about the diagnosis, everything is about the label that somebody gave you when you asked them for help. And they said, Oh, you have you are scoliotic. You are now labeled with scoliosis for the rest of your life or you are diabetic or you are a candidate for knee surgeries. I have a bad knee or I have arthritis in my hip or I have whatever the label is and whatever the number of labels you have that people have given you, bring those in. Let's talk about them because chiropractic is not about symptoms. It's not about curing anything. It's not about relieving pain. It's not about addressing the symptoms.
Like I said, it's about getting your body in a place where it can take care of those things itself, like it's supposed to. We're not an adjunct or a hand-in-hand partner with any other healing profession.
Although we are very much separate and distinct, we need to be seen at the same time as we're doing our work of restoring normal relationships with the spinal bones so that pressure is taken off of the nerves, the spinal cord, the brain stem, the brain itself.
And the other professions are doing whatever they're doing, muscle work or joint work or whatever else they're doing with your body. Your body has the best chance to adapt to all of that to get to a better position. From our standpoint, that better position is you don't have a vertebral subluxation today. Congratulations. We'll see you next week, see how you're doing in the progress towards whatever goal you have towards your healthcare. I have a better chance of getting there when there's no interference in your nervous system and that's what we do as Chiropractors.
So the question is: “what do I need to do to prepare to come in?” The answer is: make an appointment, come as you are, let's see what labels people have given to you. Let's talk.
Let me show you how chiropractic fits into your plan to get back to on the golf course or picking up your grandbaby or having kids to begin with or dealing with high school sports or college sports or professional sports or dealing with getting the boat back in the water or going skiing this summer, this winter, this fall, this spring, whatever it is that you're looking forward to, you can only be at your best when there's no interference and that's what chiropractic is about. Hopefully that helps.
Hope that answers the question. You can either go to DocHoskins.com or go to pureCHRIOnow.com and click on my beautiful radio face and set your appointment there.
I look forward to seeing you soon. Bye.
