A New Approach Do you have an idea of what chiropractic is all about? Do you think it requires weekly visits for the rest of your life? Does the doctor just pay attention to your spine? Just as there are many different types of dentists, Dr. Daniel Rae, D.C. will introduce you to a new approach in chiropractic. The Chiropractic Education Chiropractic health care was discovered in 1895 by Daniel David Palmer in Davenport, Iowa. As with conventional orthodox medicine, chiropractic educational standards have continued to improve throughout the 20th century. Today, most chiropractors have completed a four-year pre-medical degree before entering chiropractic college. Once in chiropractic college, they complete a rigorous four-year program of study to become a primary health care provider. This education includes bioscience classes such as anatomy, physiology, pathology, and nutrition, as well as clinical sciences including physical diagnosis, neurology, lab, and x-ray analysis. The last year-and-a-half of chiropractic college also includes a clinical internship. In chiropractic school we are taught to address all aspects of health, not just the spine. Some chiropractors focus solely on the spine in their practices. While this works for some patients, Dr. Rae strives to be his patients' complete health resource. This means that he pays careful attention to all aspects of your health, including your health history, all the muscles and bones of your body (not just your spine), your diet, and environmental conditions, as well as specific lab and imaging studies as needed. Chiropractors receive extensive training and are often times the most qualified doctors to provide care to muscle and joint problems throughout the body. If you sprain your ankle, your chiropractor should be the first place you go. The same goes for a recurrent shoulder problem or that knee that keeps "going out." A New Paradigm We all want quantity and quality in our life. We want to live as long as possible and we also want our quality of life to be maintained throughout the years. Your options to achieve these goals are numerous. From surgeons and prescription drugs to spiritual healers and water fasts, the array of choices for the healthcare consumer can be overwhelming. In today's information age it is hard to keep up to date on all your health concerns. What people need is a health coach. A doctor that will take the time and have the knowledge to direct you to the best option for your health. A doctor that will inform you about the risks and rewards of your treatment options and allow you to decide. Dr. Rae is trained and has geared his practice around being that person for his patients. A routine office visit includes about twenty minutes of face-to-face time with the doctor. An initial exam with Dr. Rae takes about one hour as he searches out the cause, not just the symptoms, of your condition. Dr. Rae is happy to refer his patients to the appropriate specialists when needed. Whether that is an MD or a licensed acupuncturist, Dr. Rae will make sure that if he cannot help you directly he will find you a doctor who can. Dr. Rae will be your advocate, your mentor, and your coach.
