If people are seeing a chiropractor and they're not asked to have an x-ray done, should they be running out of that office?
Dr. Mike Pierce 0:06
There's only two times that I would adjust somebody without an x-ray. If it's a baby or a kid under five. And number two, if it was a pregnant woman. Everybody else gets an x-ray. specific care. If you want the most intentional care, you need an x-ray to see what's going on in your spine. There was a study done that showed that people who are under consistent regular chiropractic care, 85% less pharmaceuticals. So in our office, we celebrate people coming off drugs all the time, but it's not because I told them to come off a drug. I say, hey, where's the dysfunction? We're going to help that heal through good nutrition, through good chiropractic care, through good movement, through good supplementation.

And then you're going to watch your body get so well that it doesn't need the medication.

Most people think chiropractic is just about cracking backs, but what if it's actually about rewiring your entire nervous system, reversing chronic illness, and teaching people how to eat, move, sleep, and live like their health depends on it? Because it does. Today, I'm joined by my chiropractor, Dr. Mike Pierce from Empower Family Chiropractic in Chandler, Arizona. Dr. Mike is a chiropractor who doesn't just adjust spines. He literally takes patients grocery shopping. He helps families detox their homes. He'll talk to you about your breakup. I mean, I don't think he really wants to, but like if you bring it up, I'm sure he won't tell you to stop. And he will walk people step by step out of chronic pain and hopefully eventually disease.

Alex Clark 2:26
All they're gonna do is crack my back. What are the misconceptions about chiropractic care and whole health care?
Dr. Mike Pierce 2:33
so my dad and his journey in health is what got me into chiropractic and i ideally i think with some people you think oh chiropractic's for headaches and neck pain and back pain and growing up as a kid we were really unhealthy family like i was in sixth grade i was 180 pounds i was on tons of medications my whole family lived that way so my dad when i got to college graduated college the next day my dad has a massive heart attack My dad goes into a coma for four months and we spent four months praying that God would open his eyes and we could figure out a game plan. And after two years of doctors shoving medicine down him, he was on 18 different medications, not getting any better. His health was declining.
Dr. Mike Pierce 3:11
And it wasn't until a chiropractor stood up and said, hey, I think we can get to the root cause of your dad's issue. We went in there. He did different scans and x-rays and come to find out he had a pinched nerve in his neck and That goes to his heart. This chiropractor starts getting him adjusted. And I'm skeptical, by the way, because I didn't grow up in this model at all. Right. So I'm watching my dad go through this program with his chiropractor. Six months, Alex, of him getting adjusted, clearing his nervous system. My dad came off 10 of his medications, like flipped his health upside down. And like me and him are out walking, hiking, doing life all over again. I had loved sports all my life. I loved athletics, but I didn't know what I want to do with it.
Dr. Mike Pierce 3:50
And then I saw this healing, this miraculous healing happened through my dad.
