Think Outside of the Box

For 3 1/2 years, I wrote a blog every week concerning my time as a student in chiropractic school. I would fill it with information regarding the trials and tribulations of being a medical school student. Now I find myself myself living in Seminole, FL and starting my practice in the Largo, FL area. I have had this amazing opportunity to join the women located at i spa Health Studio. Adrienne Honeywell is the licensed massage therapist and Dr. Debra Bebell is the acupuncture physician. It is a place where a holistic approach is the priority.
And that is where you come in. The purpose of this blog is to help educate people not only their health but to gain a sense of community. Many people these days are frustrated with their current health care system. Why do you think there is such turmoil over the current health care reform in Washington, D.C.? People are being forced to think outside the box in order to live a happy and healthy life. For example, five years ago I could not eat anything without feeling incredible discomfort. I went to my allopathic physician and received medication in the form of a little purple pill. Nothing changed and I still was losing weight due to my inability to eat anything beside rice and egg drop soup. The Chinese restaurant was my favorite place at the time. My physician just increased my dosage. This angered me as it seemed that the treatment plan was just for me to continue to be in pain. That is when I decided to think outside the box and go to a chiropractic physician to seek help. But what I got was more. I got a physician who took the time to ask the right questions and prescribe the right treatment plan which included botanicals, diet, and exercise. Within two months, I was eating again and within six months it was like a distant memory.
That is what made me want to become a chiropractic physician. To have the opportunity to help turn on the light switch in people's head to see that they don't have to just suffer in silence.
