I have been in practice in Randolph for over ten years now and I have many patients that are still under wellness care from year one.  As you can imagine I have seen a lot of people come and go.  People leave for various reasons.  I have to go play with my puppy so I'll get to the point. 

Friday night I ran into Bill.  Bill stopped coming in because his pain was gone and Medicare stopped picking up his copay.  He still had unlimited insurance coverage but he didn't want to pay anything out of his pocket.  Anyway, last year Bill had back surgery.  He showed me the scar where they cut him open in the front, pulled out his intestines and fused his spine.  He said if he knew how painful it was going to be he would never have done it.  I tried and tried to explain that his health came from his spine and only 10% of the nerves are for pain and the other 90% are for body function.  I didn't bother telling him that this would have never happened if he stuck with getting adjusted....what's the point now. 

Stay under chiropractic care for life so you don't wind up like Bill.
