While attending a meeting of the Rock Hill Economic Development Corporation Board a couple of days ago, someone asked me whether I was back, working in my practice yet. She assumed that we shut our practice down. After all, countless other organizations had, trying to quarantine their way to safety. I told her that we had continued holding regular office hours throughout this pandemic. It surprised and pleased her to learn the reasons why. Soon after that meeting a practice member called asking if we were open, as he wished to schedule an appointment. He also seemed surprised to learn that we had stayed open. In both cases I explained how chiropractic is an essential health care service. Chiropractic care is especially important to persons concerned with good immune system function.
Like all other body systems, our immune system is controlled and coordinated by our brain, through the nerve system. We must also remember that our first line of protection against the ills of infectious disease is our own immune system. This underscores why we need to keep a good nerve supply, especially at times like this. It’s why when the issue of pandemic arose there wasn’t a moment’s hesitation about keeping the practice open. I also knew that my chiropractor would keep her practice open, because she also understands that chiropractic is about much more than just an ache or pain. It’s about our ability to express life.
I’ve heard much about people continuing to work during these times being referred to as heroes. But I don’t view it that way. It doesn’t feel particularly heroic to simply do one’s job. People need what we do, and it would be immoral to deny that service in this situation.

overdo it with antibacterial and alcohol based hand cleaners. Becoming a “germophobe” is an unhealthy, obsessive behavior. Remember, our bodies were designed to function in an environment that is full of microorganisms. Dr. Dwayne Hoskins, Executive Director of the Palmetto State Chiropractic Association, made the following short video yesterday (March 6th) to keep us updated on this unfolding situation. Here he is speaking about 
Chiropractic, a relatively new profession, was born on September 18, 1895 when a Davenport, Iowa doctor discovered that a deaf man had a neck bone out of position. It all came about when Dr. Palmer asked a man how long he had been deaf. “Over 17 years, Dr. D.D.” Harvey Lillard answered.”
The real issue then is the danger of neglect. On the one hand we have the certainty of damage when nerve interference goes uncorrected, while on the other hand, the remote possibility of a mistake on the part of the chiropractor. As you can see, choosing your chiropractor, or for that matter, any health care professional is an important decision, to be made with care.

nswer involves reconstructing the damage done by long-term subluxation. They’re expecting us to recommend a particular chemical, therapy, nutrient, or exercise, in the hopes that it will change something in their upper neck. But remember, we’re looking at the big picture, not just the short term stuff. Most people come in to us with short term symptoms that have grown out of long term malfunction that they never felt, and didn’t know they had. Subluxations in the spine are like that. They insult the body’s nerve system, creating long term damage. Without a proper nerve supply, essential communications within the body became distorted resulting in malfunction.
