Experiencing the Impact of Chiropractic When he was a young boy, Dr. John was diagnosed with scoliosis (abnormal curves in the spine) during a health screening. His pediatrician referred him to a chiropractor who adjusted him. As a result, Dr. John’s spine was returned to its normal position. When he was in high school, he also suffered from alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that would cause clumps of his hair to fall out. After years of experimental medical treatment for the condition, which was given with no consistent results, Dr. John started seeing a family chiropractor again. He also received nutritional counseling. The results were incredible. After these experiences, Dr. John became interested in chiropractic care and the idea that, the body doesn’t make mistakes and when given the proper tools, the body can heal itself.
