Welcome
Selecting an experienced and skilled chiropractor can be one of the most important healthcare decisions you make for yourself and your family. The proper alignment of the spine affects health in many ways. Spinal subluxation (misalignment) has a global impact on your entire body including the immune system, the brain, the muscles and the internal organs. When you understood in relationship of the spine and nervous system to illness and injury of all kinds then the roll of your families chiropractor is obvious.
People are getting sick and tired of a health care system that answers every problem with another drug or surgery, while the real cause of their problem goes uncorrected. They are longing to get to the cause of the problem where their body can function and heal properly as it should.
We use the latest in chiropractic diagnostic technology for an accurate assessment of the patient's condition to find the cause. Among his collegues and patients Dr. Greenwood is known for his ability to get right to the source of the problem with the highest clinical and technical precision.
People have reached out to chiropractic for over a hundred years for the answers to their health challenges. But in the last few decades a large part of the profession has lost their true purpose as chiropractors. People seeking chiropractic are often misled by weird "New Age" therapies, "disc decompression tables," physical therapy treatments, chiropractors trying to be medical doctors or just delivering routine, non-specific spinal manipulations (as opposed to specific, accurate and purposeful adjustments). Many "chiropractors" are simply uncommitted to providing real chiropractic.
Many people have come to Dr. Greenwood saying they have already tried chiropractic only to find they never really been properly assessed or adjusted. People who come to Dr. Greenwood experience true chiropractic.
The chiropractic assessment of the spine and the correction of vertebral subluxation is the core purpose that defines true chiropractic. A vertebral subluxation is a spinal bone that has lost its normal motion or alignment and is causing nerve interference to the body. The founder of chiropractic, Dr. D.D. Palmer stated that 95% of all illness and disease is caused by interference to the nervous system resulting from spinal subluxation.
This sounds like a huge claim, but it makes sense when you realize the primary importance of the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) in controlling and regulating every major function in the body including heart beat, breathing, digestion, immune system, movement and muscle balance, hormonal balance and more.
It's no surprise that people who get regular chiropractic care are healthier. And the research proves it. Studies show that people who get regular chiropractic care get sick less often, have less pain and miss less school and work. A study by a U.S. insurance company found that people who got regular chiropractic care had 60% fewer hospital admissions, 69% fewer hospital days, 85% fewer outpatient procedures and 56% fewer drugs and pharmaceuticals. The Journal of Pediatrics also found that chiropractic is the most used healthcare alternatives for children. Dr. Greenwood actually became a chiropractic patient himself at the age of four when he was suffering from excruciating earaches. Within a few visits the earaches were gone for good.
If you want your chiropractor to be a real chiropractor you'll be glad to know that Dr. Greenwood delivers real, straight chiropractic care. Among many professional achievements, Dr. Greenwood was awarded the singular and prestigious Clinic Excellence Award from Cleveland Chiropractic College for exceptional clinical and technical skill. You can be assured of adjustments that are accurate and specific, not just the general routine, non-specific spinal manipulation that most chiropractors are delivering these days.
When every health care dollar spent counts, real chiropractic care is the best health insurance you can get. Regular health insurance only pays after your sick, so it's really "sick insurance." Chiropractic actively improves your health. Without your health few other things in life have value. This is why true chiropractic is not a "healthcare alternative." The only alternative to chiropractic is an unhealthy spine and the resulting nerve interference that leads to poor health, illness, injury and disease.
Keeping yourself healthy is also a service to your family and your community. When each of us is functioning at our best, emotionally and physically, we can truly be of service to those that matter most to us. Taking care of yourself is not just a gift to yourself, but to everyone that you touch in your life. This is the "Big Idea" of Chiropractic. Would you like to be part of this?
Yours in health,
Dr. Philip Greenwood, D.C.
