How Chiropractic Therapy Helps Dr. Phil - "Help the body to release its own innate power to heal itself."

Doctors are the ones who take care of patients, but who takes care of them? In one recent episode of the Dr. Phil Show, Dr. Phil shared that it’s one of the questions people ask him all the time.

Dr. Phil is famous for his success in helping people live better lives and those he helps have usually hit rock-bottom. You can imagine the energy it requires for him to do all that he does. It must surely have a physical effect on him, but Dr. Phil said that he has been going to his chiropractor regularly for many years.

Dr. Phil introduces Dr. Patrick DeFazio, who he sees now for chiropractic  care. 

Dr. DeFazio says, “From a chiropractic perspective, we look at the body as a whole, and we work to allow the body to restore itself to normal function. So, what we do is help the body to release its own innate power to heal itself.” 

The chiropractic doctors in that particular show said that they see the people as “well” rather than sick and they work on patients to restore them to that state of wellness. They also believe that the body has a natural ability to heal.

Chiropractic care is based on holism, which means that health is affected by everything in a person’s environment. That makes sense and can be illustrated by how people get headaches after a bad day at work. For those who don’t believe in always depending on pain relievers, chiropractic therapy may be the answer in combating myriad pains and fatigue. The Gateway Rehab and Wellness Center offers chiropractic services in Mission Viejo for those would like to choose an alternative to drugs and pain relievers.

This is the place for those who want to enhance their quality of life and for those who want to prevent the risk illness rather than to treat it. From its massages to Pilates, chiropractic to acupuncture, you have a great number of services to choose from that will help you achieve a more enhanced lifestyle.

This particular episode of the Dr. Phil Show is helpful in shedding light to the benefits of chiropractic medicine and the importance of a holistic approach to good health. If it helps the man who helps people, it must be effective. For more details about our chiropractic services and practices, contact us.
