Dr. Patrick Asks some important questions of interest to Olney residents - Chiropractor Olney Dr. Patrick Asks...

Why is a "slipped disc" unlikely?
Separating each spinal vertebra is a disc. Its fibrous outer ring holds in a jelly-like material. Because of the way a disc attaches to the spinal bones above and below it, it can't actually "slip." However, a disc can bulge, tear, herniate, thin and collapse. But it can't slip.
What's the difference between maintenance, prevention and wellness?
Maintenance chiropractic care is an attempt to keep a dynamic, ever-changing and adapting organism (you) in a static relationship with your environment. Preventive chiropractic care is mostly about early detection. Wellness chiropractic care is an attempt to optimize our health and be all that you were designed to be.

About Gottfried Chiropractic in Olney

You were created to be healthy and well. This is what we believe and we can show you that it's true. We've been delivering quality chiropractic care to Olney and the surrounding communities since 1997. For over a decade, our mission has been to enlighten our patients, our community and the world to create health, happiness and wholeness in their lives by reducing interference to the expression of their God-given health potential. The actions we carry out to accomplish this include specific chiropractic adjustments, on-going wellness education, and a commitment to excellence in our service.

Gottfried Chiropractic believes that every individual (adult or child, newborn or senior citizen) has the inborn ability to heal themselves and express their God-given health potential. Corrective Wellness Chiropractic Care assists in this process by reducing interference to the body's master control system, the nervous system.

Our approach is simple. We believe that health is among our most valuable possessions. And while we generally meet people after they’ve lost their health, our commitment is two-fold:

1. Relief Care
Relief or wellness care... it's your choice.

When many people seek care in our office they have one goal: relief. So that’s where we start! During this initial stage of intensive care, we have several obligations:

  • Uncover the underlying cause of the health problem

  • Suggest a care plan to produce the fastest results possible

  • Offer ways practice members can participate in their recovery

  • Explain the value of post-symptomatic wellness care
2. Wellness Care

We encourage our patients to achieve the highest levels of health they can. Through educational opportunities (like this website), we hope to communicate the value of ongoing chiropractic care. Our desire is to see our practice members abandon the prevailing sickness care model of health (waiting for symptoms and then taking action), in favor of the emerging wellness model.

You’re the Boss

Regardless of your health goals, please understand that we see ourselves as mere servants. You’re the boss! It’s your body, your health and your future. Our job is to offer you the finest chiropractic care possible, and it’s up to you to decide how much of it you want.
