I had a conversation with a student yesterday and she asked me a very important question, “How do you know if you need to see a chiropractor?” I asked her, “How do you know if you have high blood pressure, high blood sugar, or high cholesterol?” She quickly responded, “well, you get it checked!” I said, “Exactly! Chiropractors use tools that check whether or not the nervous system is functioning properly, just like medical doctors and nurses use blood pressure cuffs and draw blood to observe blood pressure and blood sugar/cholesterol levels.
