30 Days of Self Healing – Day 24
Could Chiropractic be the answer to your health problems?
“Removing interferences of the nervous system is the key to health.”
Dr. Fabrizio Mancini
IN THE MID-1980S, I was studying premed at the University of Dallas, with the goal of becoming a neurosurgeon. At the time I was rear-ended in a car accident and developed severe whiplash. At the hospital, where I was volunteering as part of my training, an orthopedic doctor in charge of my work gave me the card of his chiropractor. I had no idea what a chiropractor was or even how to pronounce the word chiropractic, but I trusted the doctor’s advice and decided to make an appointment.
The doctor of chiropractic was confident, caring, and enthusiastic. He seemed to enjoy his practice. His clinic had an uplifting, positive atmosphere; I’d never experienced anything like it in any other doctor’s office. I asked him that question we have all asked: “What do chiropractors do?” The answer I received remains the most concise and elegant description I have ever heard. He told me that chiropractic is rooted in this simple principle:The power that made the body heals the body.
I was astounded and knew deep inside that this statement resonated with me. That visit changed the course of my life, because I realized that chiropractic was the ultimate form of health care. I wanted to learn more about it. I was so intrigued by the idea of a health-care system that respects the inherent self-healing powers of the body that in time, I decided to become a chiropractor myself. I chose my profession from my heart, and for more than 20 years, I like to think that I’ve brought healing and relief to thousands of people. I helped teach them how to make better choices every day for better health. Watching the self-healing miracles take place over the past 20 years has inspired me to devote my life to helping men and women discover what they can do to live a healthy, natural lifestyle so that they can live fully and age gracefully.
