Chiropractic

A lot of people are wondering what i do in the clinic. Most people have the misconception that i massage or adjust patients. Well, here is the description.
Title: Chiropractic Assistant
Duties: Reception (answering phones, greeting patients), Appointment maker (book patients in a schedule or call them when they've missed appointments or have to reschedule), Bookkeeper (tally day sheets, wage, schedule payments to creditors), Secretary (i fix the doctor's seminars like plane flights and schedules), Cleaner and I answer patient's questions about chiropractic.
I don't do any adjustments because I'm not qualified to do so. Only the chiropractor can do that.

What is chiropractic? Chiropractic works on the premise that the body heals itself. Interference should be removed so that the body could functions at its optimum. Children are recommended to get chiropractic treatment because birth is the worst trauma that the spine goes through. Imagine the baby's head and body going through the birth canal with all that pushing and pulling. Injuries, accidents, not exercising, sitting too long in one position are also causes of subluxation. If interference is not removed it causes the body to develop pains or diseases.

So what does a chiropractor do? A chiro is a doctor that adjusts the spine to remove nerve interference (called subluxation). The spinal cord is the central nervous system. It carries messages from your body to the brain. If there is a vertebra out of place causing the nerves to be pinched, there is a corresponding effect to the body. It could be a migraine, ulcer, numbness of extremeties, back pain, etc. This is the body's way of telling you that there is something wrong. Instead of masking the pain with painkillers, you should go to a chiro to get to the root of the problem. When a chiro adjust your spine and puts everything in alignment then the body heals itself. The process is long but natural and safe for everyone.

I hope i've been able to explain what i do and what happens to me everyday in the clinic. It's interesting enough because i get to talk to a lot of different people. However, it gets tedious and hard sometimes because I can't be friends with the patients due to a thing called "professionalism". So i'm limited to certain topics and i have to be inventive so i can revert the conversation back to the patient's health.
Well, it's thursday night now and friday tomorrow! I can't wait for the weekend to come.... it's just that the weekend is too short.
