Dr. David Russ on chiropractors and the importance of a wellness lifestyle HGP#007

The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest the patient in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.” – Thomas Edison

In this episode we dispel the common misperception of chiropractors and learn how everyone can benefit from chiropractic care. So often we tend to only seek medical intervention when we have a symptom. However, Dr. Russ aims to teach just the opposite. He believes if we maintain a balanced nervous system, along with proper diet and exercise, we can prevent the onset of common health problems. Learn what inspired Dr. Russ to become a chiropractor, what chiropractors can do that other doctors can’t, what exactly is a chiropractic adjustment, and the types of health problems that can be helped by chiropractic treatment.

Dr. David Russ holds a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Palmer College and embraces the holistic philosophy towards healing his patients. Dr. Russ enjoys educating others on the importance of a wellness lifestyle, which includes: a balanced nervous system, proper diet and exercise, regular stress relief, and a healthy mental attitude. He is committed to the health and wellness of each patient and and it’s no wonder his practice is successful; he practices the healthy lifestyle that he teaches to his patients.
