Chiropractor in Houston : Dr. Michiel Rorick
For years, I suffered with asthma and chronic tonsillitis...
My Personal Experience with Chiropractic
I was 26 years old when I returned home from the military. I told my mother I was going to the VA Hospital to get my tonsils removed because of all the problems I've had my entire life. She was concerned because she had heard from a friend that having my tonsils removed as an adult was risky and dangerous. This friend advised her to encourage me to see a chiropractor. I had never heard of that profession before and asked my mother how he could help me. She replied, "I don't know but its worth a try." So I made an appointment. The doctor took x-rays and saw the problem in my neck. I started treatment and the problem went away. Because of this, for the first time in my life, I knew without a doubt that this profession was for me. I wanted to help people without the use of drugs or surgery. By the way, I still have my tonsils.
Chiropractor in Houston : Chiropractic Education
I received my Doctorate of Chiropractic from Texas Chiropractic College in December of 1985. While I was in school I received my certificate to perform acupuncture, and began my training in physical therapy and rehab.
Over the years I have received certification in McKenzie Protocols - both cervical and low back, advanced training in the use of the ProAdjuster , nutrition, and neuro-muscular reeducation. After seeing the effects of excess weight and hormonal imbalances on overall health, I continue to study in these fields.
Chiropractic Philosophy
Our philosophy is to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. We have a multi-teared approach, looking at the three main pillars of health:
- Physical
- Mental
- Biochemical
Our doctor-patient relationship is based on four goals: get the symptoms or pain under control, return normal range of motion without pain, improve strength and stamina of the complaint to prevent it from returning, and last but not least, which all patients aspire to achieve, is to move into self-care (maintenance care) where we are used to keep you well instead of getting you well. Our patients regard us as their most trusted health and wellness advisers.
The most fulfilling aspect of our practice is returning health to those patients who have lost all hope. We have patients tell us they have come to our practice out of desperation because they have tried all other avenues to get well. After experiencing the results, we hear over and over again "I could have avoided so much pain, and saved so much time and money if I had only started here."
Dr. Michiel Rorick : Health Habits
My health is important to me so I try to maintain a balanced lifestyle by receiving an adjustment and colonic weekly. I supplement my nutrition with bio-identical hormone replacement treatment and enzyme therapy. I exercise and receive a hydro-massage regularly. And most importantly, I thank God daily for all the blessings in my life.
Now that you have gotten to know me, I look forward to the opportunity of meeting you to discuss how we can help you be healthier and happier in the years to come.
"It's your future, be there healthy and happy." Don't be one of our patients that regretted not calling us sooner. Call our Houston Chiropractic office today. We KNOW we can help you.
