He never earned a million dollars in his whole life.\u00a0He went to work and made sure that my brothers and I had clothes to wear, food to eat and a roof over our heads. He loved us as best he could in his own way.\u00a0He taught us right from wrong. He was honest. He showed by example that hard work wouldn\u2019t kill me and that a man could take care of his own home.<\/p>\n<p>What does this have to do with chiropractic and your health?\u00a0Everything!\u00a0To begin with, I\u2019m pretty honest. I\u2019m never going to sell you a bill of goods just to get your business. I\u2019ll tell you honestly what I truly believe you need and how chiropractic can help you.\u00a0I will explain things so that you understand the recommendations that I make.\u00a0I won\u2019t expect you to do what I suggest simply because I am \u2018the Doctor\u2019.\u00a0I\u2019ll make my fees as fair as I can.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, my father also grew up in the age of penicillin and the so called miracle drugs.\u00a0He believed there was a pill or a surgery to cure everything. And if they didn\u2019t have it today they\u2019d have it tomorrow.\u00a0He would never listen to his boy when it came to his health.\u00a0He would never stick to a chiropractic program. He would let me adjust him once in a while when he had pain, but that was about it.<\/p>\n<p>I know in my heart that because my father\u2019s spine was subluxated, his spinal cord could not work well, therefore his body developed disease and he succumbed at a fairly young age.\u00a0You see, pills don\u2019t make health.\u00a0Disease of any kind can develop when the spinal cord is interfered with by spinal bones being out of alignment. Which happens to all of us <b>and<\/b> it does not hurt.\u00a0So, like my father, your heart (or any other organ) could be dying from a lack of nerve energy even though your back does not hurt.<\/p>\n<p>Listen up dads. Even though I\u2019m a grown man, I\u2018d still like to have my father around.\u00a0Take care of your spine. Your spinal cord is your lifeline.\u00a0When your spine is impaired, even though it doesn\u2019t hurt, you are developing disease. Don\u2019t wait for disease to become an emergency. \u00a0It is far easier to stay healthy than to get healthy.\u00a0And please don\u2019t depend on some magic pill to make you healthy, <b>because it won\u2019t<\/b>.\u00a0When you get regular chiropractic adjustments you have a far greater chance to stay healthy and to live better longer.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Father\u2019s Day Dad, Thanks for all the good stuff you taught me.\u00a0Wish you were here.\u00a0Gary.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Stewart is located in Riverdale on Newark-Pompton Turnpike across from Riverdale School.
