Move Toward Chiropractic is
Consumer-Driven
From the November 18, 2002 issue of New York Magazine
comes a feature article about many famous New Yorkers
receiving chiropractic care. The article starts off by
dropping the names of famous people who depend on
chiropractic care. Those names include the likes of
Henry and Nancy Kissinger, Ralph and Ricky Lauren, and
Oscar de la Renta.
De la Renta recounts his story for the article, "I had
back surgery a year and a half ago, but after the
surgery, I was in a car accident and had whiplash and
horrible pain in my elbows and arms. The doctor said I
would need another surgery on my cervical vertebrae, and
I have to tell you, I went to my chiropractor every day
for six weeks and not only did I not have to have the
surgery, I have never again had any pain."
In the article, Woodson Merrell, executive director of
the Continuum Center for Health and Healing states, "A
lot of patients are really ticked off with medicine
right now. They want nothing to do with conventional
therapy." The Continuum Center for Health and Healing is
a lower Fifth Avenue outpost of Beth Israel Medical
Center, offering chiropractic, acupuncture, and
aromatherapy along with their standard services of
pediatrics, gynecology, and internal medicine.
Playwright Warren Leight, whose play Side Man won the
Tony in 1999, is another advocate of chiropractic care.
He related his story in the article when he stated, "I
was sent to the chiropractor by a friend who had
migraines. I was skeptical, but I'm a writer. I'm
skeptical of everything. I thought I'd give it a try
because the painkillers were a drag. It had not occurred
to me that you could go to someone who would run her
hand down your spine and know where it's hurting. She
always knows where it hurts. I go to my chiropractor
like an 80-year-old and come out like a 45-year-old. I
also haven't gotten as sick as often since seeing her,"
Leight adds, saying of his visits with her, "It seems to
re-center your body's immune system."
