Pioneers in Parallel Space I grieve the death of seven brave souls that reached ever higher towards the stars and gave their life during the final trip of their life. The Columbia space shuttle carried with it the dreams and aspirations of millions both young and old. These pioneers are from a long line of explorers challenging the known concepts and reaching beyond. The plan was to conquer the unknown and plot a new future built on research and scientific study. As we meander through a hostile world with the potential of war the parallels are quite unique. In our midst there are those that continue their search to increase man's potential on earth even attempting to touch the heavens while others .. just as studious and meticulous .. are planning the destruction and disruption of a future unkind to their kind. Excuse my literary allegory but the parallels are also quite unique in healthcare. The chiropractic profession has a rich history of pioneers that took their vision to the public and challenged the accepted. Yes .. many felt they were antiquated in thought and naÔve in purpose but they were standing alone with conviction that our internal universe was created as an uncompromising vessel. A literal mother ship of perfection. Science has brought us great tools of convenience and a technical prowess to manipulate nature. It also has introduced concepts that yesterday was fiction but today fact .. such as space travel .. microwaves .. the internet. But .. science is only an extension of the educated mind .. a culmination of thought and data pieced together towards a rewarding end. Healthcare has been at the epicenter as well as the frontier of science. Medical professionals are offered tools to depress or excite body function .. a means to usurp the healing potential of the body by reducing pain .. restricting function .. increasing movement .. replacing parts with surgical procedures as well as saving those in a literal health crisis. But .. in a parallel world of healthcare there has been that tiny wee voice of pioneers .. still on the cusp of acceptance .. who respect and honor the mother ship .. our vessel .. the human potential. I say be wary of those healthcare professional that go beyond the physiological and physical need and shoot the mosquito with a shotgun. Be wary of industries that create systems adverse to the human frame aggravating human mechanics provided at birth forcing functional distortion. Be wary of the industries that pollute the internal stream clogging the pipes of life only to help create the machinery to uncork or redirect. Be wary of the professional that stands as a spokesman for human physiology in one hand and speaks little of natural alternative means towards an innate end. On the other hand there are these misunderstood chiropractors. Many of us look for alternatives to the norm and direct our community to age old ideas that has weathered the tests of time. Many of us insist on patient education concerning posture .. ergonomics .. exercise .. nutrition and stress free thought during the lifecycle of an individual. Rather than being wary of the chiropractor .. the naÔve dreamer .. be thankful that we also have stood the test of time and have advanced beyond the pious pioneer to a spirited profession dedicated to offering our communities a chance to regain what was lost and increase their potential as it was created. Stand tall we have made it. Just go out and share it with others. Have a Great Day Dr. M Postings: Practice for sale in Costa Rica: Over four year practice with a 1770-225 patient average for sale.
