I AM PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT LIFE UNIVERSITY will be working in conjunction with Disc Centers of America (DCOA) to be the first disc-oriented clinic in the world affiliated with a university. It is time that chiropractic and nonsurgical spinal depression (NSSD) are no longer considered alternative care.

OPTIMAL HUMAN PERFORMANCE, WHETHER BECAUSE OF DAILY life, work demands, or athletic pursuits, depends on an integrated system of joints, muscles, and neurology functioning in coordinated harmony. When any element of that system becomes compromised, the body adapts with compensatory movement patterns that protect the area in the short term but often generate long-term dysfunction.

THOUGH IT APPEARS TO BE ADDRESSED INFREQUENTLY, THERE IS A mindset trend that stands in the way of regular maintenance and preventative care among chiropractic patients. Our modern culture has developed a distinct lean toward “one-and-done” options, unrealistic expectations, general neglect, and instant gratification.

MEDICARE PATIENTS REPRESENT A Uniquely challenging and rewarding population within chiropractic practice. These individuals frequently present with chronic neuromusculoskeletal conditions, multiple co-morbidities and shaped by decades of cumulative spinal stress, degenerative change, and age-related physiological adaptation.
