Simply put, there was not a bigger skeptic than me! I was taking some pre-medicine undergraduate classes to go into Sports Medicine when I was introduced to chiropractic by a very enthusiastic student.

The end of that summer I was attending a personal growth seminar and the first person I met was a chiropractor, Dr. Gil Bohemier (I thought maybe the universe is telling me something).

What would you do if you were faced with either surgery or a choice to see a chiropractor first?  That was the decision that my mother had to make which, in turn, changed not only our own lives, but the lives of many others to come. After being rear-ended in a car wreck and having the back seat of the Chevette broke on her back from a force so great that the rear view mirror actually flew back and hit my mother in the head, she was rushed to the hospital. As the driver, sitting at the stoplight, I was “unharmed,” and was not admitted to the hospital, and so was the other passenger.

Dr. Kurt  Asks some important questions of interest to Traverse City residents - Chiropractor Traverse City Dr. Kurt Asks...

What causes vertebral subluxations?
Chiropractors acknowledge three types of stress: physical, chemical and emotional. When the adaptive capacity of your body is compromised, weakened areas along the spine can become involved. Muscles tighten, spinal joints lock up and nearby nerves are affected. The purpose of chiropractic care is to find these areas and restore balance, alignment and motion.
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.
