My Role as your Chiropractor     The word doctor means teacher. Teaching patients about good health habits and preventive care are duties of all members of the healing arts. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, my job is to teach you about your condition, what causes it and how to keep it from coming back. Chiropractors are unique in that patient education has always been a major part of our treatment programs. For the treatment of back pain, chiropractic patients report a higher rate of satisfaction than patients of other health care providers do. This is primarily due to chiropractors' ability to listen, educate and help the body to heal itself. YOUR TREATMENT PROGRAM     Each person is unique. Therefore, everyone responds to treatment differently. Some people heal quickly while others take longer. Several factors affect how well a person responds to care, such as the type of work he or she does, his or her stress level, weight, and health problems to name a few. Each person's care has to be designed specifically for his or her needs. What works for one person may not work for someone else
