Five Fantastic Female Chiropractors

Mention chiropractors, and one is likely to draw up an image of a healthy, fortysomething year old male, who has built some impressive forearm muscles, as a result of years delivering hands-on care to his patients. But there is another chiropractor on the block, and she can deliver a solid side posture on a pro football linebacker like it’s no one’s business. Not only that, she lays her hands on the spine of a one-week old child, with a tender touch like that of the infant’s own mother. From the eastern shores of Halifax, Nova Scotia to the Western inlet of the San Francisco Bay, the demand for a caring and professional female doctor of chiropractic, is steadily on the rise in northern America.

It was an incredible event. A little after 6pm, the windows in the house began to rattle. I was adjusting a patient but we thought nothing of it. I live in Peru, this is common. I have felt dozens of tremors over the past years and some rather strong. However this was different. This was no tremor. After a few seconds it got a lot stronger.

As I went into the garden and looked up at the house, I could see it swaying. All the other buildings in the neighborhood were doing the same.
