And we went back and forth and argued.
Long story short, I won.
We got the x-ray.
And he had a fracture in his lower spine that he didn't know he had.
And if I'm not a little guy, if I would have gone up and adjusted his low back, could have made that significantly worse.
Wow.
And so many times we have no idea what's going on in the inside if we don't see.
There's times where I'll take kids.
This happened two weeks ago.
I had a nine-year-old little girl come in the office, asymptomatic.
Mom was just like, hey, she plays sports.
She's pretty rough out there on the field.
We just want to get an x-ray and see how she's doing.
She had scoliosis.
But if you have the x-ray, now you say, hey, this little girl has scoliosis.
Now it's a very intentional way to help this little girl.
So with anybody coming in, if you want the most specific care, if you want the most intentional care, then you need an x-ray to see what's going on in your spine.
think everybody has great intention right i think that when you look back though as a doctor if my job is to help you create whole healing i have to understand that in today's society those are factors that that matter i think when chiropractic you know you look at this 50 to 70 years ago then yeah you could just adjust somebody and we didn't have all the chemicals in our food we did 100 years ago we didn't have a lot of the same stressors we had 100 years ago
But you look at it today and it's I mean, you know, more than it is worse than ever.
So that has to be an intentional focus point.
