“I’m going to be sick.” “I need a poo.” At 4 in the morning, these are not the words I want to hear from my four year old son stood next to our bed. And my goodness did he vomit and have diarrhoea. The bedsheet, duvet, the sofa covers and carpet were all collateral damage from his body’s expulsions of the offending bacteria (note to…
Picture this, 5 years ago… I arrive a few minutes early to the clinic but I have an extra emergency booked in at 8. But the patient is earlier than I am. I recognise the car and I know what she is doing. Head in a bag and throwing up. In the treatment room… “My necks out again, put it back in before I’m sick again…”…

Case closed. But often those patients didn’t respond as I and they had hoped, so I got curious. I started requesting the GP blood test results to see…
Are you a clinician or a therapist? “I just want to adjust”. I hear that quite a lot and (if I’m honest) I’m actually the same when I’m in my Chiropractic environment. If I can SUSTAINABLY improve function with neuromechanical intervention and the patient is remodelling/healing, they will tell me they are feeling better, then I am happy to do neuromechanical intervention on its own…
DD Palmer said the causes of dis-ease were trauma, thoughts and toxins. He was pretty much spot on. He also had some amazing miraculous results and loved the “hole in one” upper cervical and over a hundred years later we are still here, changing lives and trying to fight for our patients.
