Homeopathy dynamically empowers the chiropractor with a comprehensive therapeutic armamentarium to help the vast majority of chronic degenerative health issues plaguing our society, such as the many types of arthritis.
How does it work?
Homeopathy equips the chiropractor to not just help the multiple symptoms of arthritis; it works deep within the body to fix the underlining causes oftentimes. This powerful ability of homeopathy corrects the genetic predispositions we’ve obtained through a million years of our family tree. This unusually in-depth correction comes through an unbelievable discovery in homeopathy called miasms. Homeopathy can clear these miasms from our body – thus correcting the genetic predispositions we must disease.
