A Journey of Healing from the Inside Out
It’s not easy finding a chiropractor – it’s not easy finding any healthcare provider, much less a really knowledgeable and compassionate one....
The men who come to Balance Atlanta fitting into the difficult cases niche are those who realize it is time to turn their health around. While they do seek care from their primary MD, they recognize the importance of a holistic health.
While there are exceptions, the general observation is that health becomes an issue for men when their quality of life is interrupted – there is something they should be able to do but can’t – as in sexual performance, play golf, or eat what they want, for example. Typically, a prescription drug is the temporary solution – or so it seems. Pop a pill, cover up the symptoms, all is well. By shutting off the warning system, a level of denial is at play.
As time marches on, no one is getting younger. There is often a naïve expectation coming from middle-aged men that they should be able to drink, work, exercise, do without adequate sleep, and partake in (and recover from) other indulgences to the same degree as they did when they were 20.
Career pressures, financial obligations, marriage(s) that may or may not be fulfilling, raising kids who may or may not be on the right path, meeting social expectations, less time, more weight, greater stress, and often more questions than certainty about life purpose. The fight or flight stress response sizzles beneath the surface, inflammation quietly raging throughout the system.
The men who come to Balance Atlanta fitting into the difficult cases niche are those who realize it is time to turn their health around. While they do seek care from their primary MD, they recognize the importance of a holistic health. The potential lifelong sentence of prescription drugs, infirmity and possibly an early death are not desirable options. These patients are able let their guard down, talk to Dr. Caroline in confidence, and get answers with objective and measurable plans of action offered at Balance Atlanta.
It takes a courageous man to drop the “pressure cooker” mentality in favor of rerouting their quality of life. It is not about being strong and stubborn, it’s about being prudent and realistic – after all, a family depends on you to be around for a good long while. When a male patient says to Dr. Caroline, “Not another day like this. I’ll do whatever the blank it takes.” She knows, her client is ready to commit. Game on – let’s drop excuses, get serious and tackle health (not sickness) as a project.
