Chiropractic Philosophy The chiropractic perspective on health and disease emphasizes two fundamental concepts: 1) the structure and condition of the body influences how the body functions and its ability to heal itself; and 2) the mind-body relationship is instrumental in maintaining health and in the healing processes. Although chiropractic shares much with other health professions, its emphasis and application of philosophy distinguishes it from modern medicine. Chiropractic philosophy gravitates toward a holistic ("total person") approach to healing which combines elements of the mind, body and spirit and maintains that health depends on obedience to natural laws, and that deviation from such laws can result in illness. Widespread Use of Chiropractic Care The increasing interest in alternative forms of care has caught the attention of several health associations and government agencies. A 1993 study in the New England Journal of Medicine reported that "The estimated number of visits made in 1990 to providers of unconventional therapy was greater than the number of visits to all primary care medical nationwide," and chiropractic was among the most frequently used non-medical therapies. A followup report published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1998 found that the use of non-medical treatments had increased significantly since the 1990 survey, with "overall prevalence of use increased by 25%, total visits by an estimated 47%, and expenditures on services provided by practitioners of alternative therapies by an estimated 45%." Of the survey respondents, one in nine (11%) had used chiropractic care within the previous year.

The ABCs of Subluxations Vertebral subluxations are displacements of the spinal bones (vertebrae) that can cause stress to your spinal cord and nervous system. Subluxations may be caused by poor sleeping habits, poor posture, strenuous exercise, injuries, auto accidents, sports, slips or falls, and in some cases, the birthing process itself. Chiropractic adjustments are very helpful in correcting subluxations and restoring optimal health. Auriculotherapy "Electronic Ear Acupuncture" NEED TO STOP SMOKING ?? NEED HELP WITH WEIGHT CONTROL ?? Auriculotherapy- an ancient oriental approach to treating the body, health conditions, and many complaints is a safe, non-invasive, conservative and effective treatment modality. Stimulating certain SPECIFIC points on the ear's surface can alter chemistry and metabolism. Thousands of years of oriental acupuncture points in the ears were evaluated by a French medical doctor- Paul Nogier, MD, a neurologist who mapped out and confirmed many of the chinese acupuncture points in the ear with modern sophisticated diagnostics in the 1950's. It has taken many years, but due to Nogier's work, the 'ancient' art of auriculotherapy is now practiced electronically by many medical and chiropractic doctors. Dr. Dolan has succesfully treated many people with AURICULOTHERAPY for many conditions- particularly cigarette addiction, weight loss and other complaints. Give a call, and make an appointment if you have these concerns! Oh,... and if you are in pain... AURICULOTHERAPY is a great adjunct to the chiropractic and nutritional approaches of Dr. Dolan! A Brief History Of Chiropractic The first recorded chiropractic adjustment was performed on September 18, 1895, by Dr. Daniel David Palmer, a Canadian-born teacher and healer. Dr. Palmer had studied the cause and effect of disease for many years. His patient was Harvey Lillard. Mr. Lillard, who had complained of hearing problems for over 17 years, allowed Dr. Palmer to examine and treat him. Dr. Palmer discovered a "lump" on Mr. Lillard's back and suspected that a vertebra might be out of place, which he then repositioned the vertebra with a gentle thrust. After several such treatments, much of Mr. Lillard's hearing was restored. Since Dr. Palmer's first chiropractic adjustment, the art and science of chiropractic has progressed significantly. Today, advanced diagnostic procedures, sophisticated equipment, scientific research, and the growing acceptance among other health care professionals makes chiropractic a popular health care choice.
