"The information I have learned has changed my certainty level in chiropractic beyond anything I could have imagined. That change was very much needed for me. Chiropractic, as it was taught to me in school, did not give me a high level of certainty. I needed to know why I could help anyone that walked through my doors. I could explain philosophically (innate intelligence) how what I did worked but that was it. I was lacking the information and science to have unwaivering certainty. I now truly know why I can help ANYONE. I along with other wellness chiropractors are peoples only hope....there is no one else. If you have ever asked yourself "who can I refer them to for help?" then you need to know what I have learned in The Wellness Practice. There is no one else! You are it!! Patients thank me everyday for changing their lives. I want to thank Dr Chestnut for changing mine and my families."
