Why is this a "new" idea in chiropractic for KC? The underlying principles of maintenance care are different from many other chiropractors. Many other chiropractors do the following:

Promote seeing them when you hurt then discharging you when you don't. The difference? Optimal brain to body communication is the foundation here, not an expensive aspirin. The ideal here is to keep things working to your highest potential, not waiting for pain to come and go.

Sell you tons of other things. Supplements, pillows, shoe orthotics, "natural" energy drinks, etc. I don't sell anything except adjustments of the spine to clear any interference between the brain and all the cells of your body. This is done routinely to keep communication open as long as possible. I will happily give recommendations to help you regarding lifestyle choices, but only if you ask. 

Totally insurance dependent. I have flexible options for payments. I will give you the option of paying per visit, monthly or for even larger amounts of care. If you are tired of getting out the check card or cash every time, pay in advance! Invest in yourself and your family's wellbeing. You will not pay "just" co-pays (my fees are about your co-pay anyway!) and get a surprise huge bill in the mail months later when your insurance refuses to pay for your pain care or your deductible hasn't been met.

You go 3 times a week forever or the frequency is based on your pain. Here the frequency of visits is typically 3 times the first week to help your body get used to the adjustments, then switches to weekly or every two weeks. For how long? Your lifetime! What?!? Yes, a lifetime. Why? Because your body is constantly under stress (mental, physical, emotional) and when those stressors overcome your body's ability to resist them, the spine misaligns, opens the safety pin, and now your body is working at less than 100%. The only way to tell this is happening is regular visits to Alignment Is Life Health Center to adjust the misalignments before they can cause problems.

Here is the kicker, I can't force you to come in this often. I will certainly recommend weekly (even I get weekly care, a healthy 29 year old!), but it a lifestyle choice you must make on your own. Remember, you are ALWAYS better off being free of nerve interference, regardless of your current level of health.

Chiropractic cures... (name symptom or disease). Chiropractic is not treated as a "panacea"  or cure-all here, I am not here to "treat" medical conditions. The chiropractic care provided here gives your body more of its full potential to work better. There are far too many variables in your life to state or guarantee anything. Some of these variables are:  your diet, exercise habits, sitting posture, sleeping posture, shoes, your genetics, environmental pollutants and hundreds of others. That being said, many "conditions" or symptoms of conditions disappear with regular chiropractic care. You will make your own choices outside the office and deal the hand your dealt by your "genetics", as I and everyone else do. I will not police your life, but will happily give advice when asked.

Force you to adjusted a certain way. I will tailor my adjustments to YOU. I know many of you are scared of being "cracked". I use a unique combination of techiques that utilize manual (hands-on) adjustments and/or instruments which deliver a much gentler adjustic force. You will always have a say in how you like to be adjusted!

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against any of the above strategies used by other chiropractors. But if you are looking for something different, Alignment Is Life Health Center is the place for you!
