Drs. Jamie and Lori Asks some important questions of interest to Columbia City residents - Chiropractor Columbia City Drs. Jamie and Lori Asks...

How come medical doctors don't recommend chiropractic?
That's changing. Years of prejudice and bias are giving way to research showing the benefits of chiropractic care. As more and more Columbia City folks seek alternatives to drugs and surgery, more and more medical practitioners are referring their patients to chiropractors.
What's a side effect?
It may sound like a bonus; something extra, but chiropractors know it should more accurately called an "unintended effect," and "unwanted effect" or in some cases an "adverse effect." A pill can't come close to matching your body's ability to create and deliver the essential compounds it needs. That's when it's important to make sure your nervous system is working correctly—the purpose of chiropractic care!
