Chiropractor in Otsego County : Dr. Gary Saks
I am still amazed at all the conditions that chiropractic care can help! It surprised me when I was a patient, but even more so when I became a doctor.
The reason I became a chiropractor was that as a patient I was impressed at what chiropractic did for me. I had a headache that lasted for six months. I went to a chiropractor and in very short order, the headache disappeared. Rarely do I have them now, and that was 35 years ago!
Chiropractic Education
I graduated from Palmer Chiropractic College in 1976. I received the traditional chiropractic education coming away with the Palmer Package of adjusting techniques. However, while attending Palmer I developed a passion for Applied Kinesiology (AK) and clinical nutrition. In fact, I was the Founder and President of the Palmer Applied Kinesiology Club. Currently, I am board qualified in AK. I learned from the creator of the technique, Dr. George Goodheart, I have logged in over 1000 hours of post graduate education in the realm of clinical nutrition and am now certified in Nutrition Response Testing.
The Key to Healthy Living
I feel that our current health model is going down the wrong road. Healthy living isn't just about taking care of problems quickly when they arise. Health actually comes down to a day by day, moment by moment decision on how we conduct our lives and treat our bodies.
The key to living healthy is to prepare your body to run in an optimal state. Chiropractic care, proper nutrition and exercise are just a few of the essential components for well being. Chiropractic care is the largest health care delivery system that doesn't use drugs or surgery. It is gentle and works in harmony with the body, and does not cause side effects.
On A Personal Note
A key component to health is having a good home life. I am very fortunate in this aspect. My wife Jody and I have been married for over 24 years. My son is 37 living in Austin, Texas, my daughter is 38 living in Germany. My time outside our Otsego County Chiropractic office is spent with my wife, my 2 Labrador Retrievers and our cat. I am a devoted practitioner of Yoga and meditation. I enjoy backpacking in remote places like Alaska and Isle Royale.
I live the lifestyle I ask my patients to follow. We take into consideration a person’s overall health, the way they eat, what level of activity is within their daily practice, and their mental and emotional health.
