Dr. Jennifer  Asks some important questions of interest to Newport Beach residents - Chiropractor Newport Beach Dr. Jennifer Asks...

How come medical doctors don't recommend chiropractic?
That's changing. Years of prejudice and bias are giving way to research showing the benefits of chiropractic care. As more and more Newport Beach folks seek alternatives to drugs and surgery, more and more medical practitioners are referring their patients to chiropractors.
How do you know when you're healthy?
Ask most Newport Beach residents this simple question and you're likely to hear, "When you feel good" or "When you're at your proper weight for your height" or "When you have lots of energy and vitality." Great answers. But our chiropractic practice members know that true health is when your body is working as it was designed. True health is how you function, not how you feel.
