The Difference
At Inner Strength Chiropractic, we are committed to providing the highest quality of gentle, safe, and effective chiropractic care.
Dr. Lauren Hedrix, D.C. will introduce you to a new approach in chiropractic that is centered on you, as an individual, and meeting your unique health goals.
As a chiropractor, Dr. Hedrix focuses on healing the body from the inside out, not the outside in (such as medication) or insides out (surgery). Her goal is to restore optimal function to your body through chiropractic care allowing you to reach your goals, both for your health and for your life in general. When people feel and function at their best, they are able to accomplish more.
Chiropractic Education
In 1895, Daniel David Palmer discovered chiropractic care in Davenport, Iowa. His son B.J. Palmer expanded on his father’s discovery, creating Palmer College of Chiropractic, the leader in chiropractic education, and laying a foundation for chiropractic’s growth. As with conventional orthodox medicine, chiropractic educational standards have continued to improve throughout the 20th century. Today, most chiropractors have completed a four-year pre-medical degree before entering chiropractic college. Chiropractic College consists of an intense four year course of graduate study in order to become licensed (by state) as primary health care providers (meaning you do not need a referral to see a chiropractor, and they can refer you to other specialists in the medical field when appropriate). Their chiropractic education includes bio science classes such as anatomy, physiology, pathology, and nutrition, as well as clinical sciences including physical diagnosis, neurology, lab, and x-ray analysis. The last year-and-a-half of the program includes a clinical internship. The following link is an article written by the California Chiropractic Association comparing the programs of study for conventional medical doctors and chiropractors.
