Question by : Chiropractor Practice advice?
Now like most of the people that commented on my last question, saying that alternative medicine doesn’t work, but me being 18 and have been on at least 8 different medications that almost killed me and some being very strong sleeping medications and medicine for my digestive system anti-inflammatory for my leg pain and hand pain (caused by several medications combined) and anti-depressant meds, and having a surgeon who messed up a surgery that I was told nothing could be done about the pain that is 4 times more than before the surgery. Not to mention all of the numerous surgery that I undergone when I was just a newborn. As a result I have a permanent scar on my hand where the IV wasn’t in, so my hand busted open, got infection and nearly died, so I got tired of getting the run around and began my own search for a better approach to my ill health only being 18. I found that instead of being pumped full of medicine, an alternative approach to health care worked even better. I started yoga and now instead of the anti inflammatory medicine messing up my liver (I believe the doctor said) I no longer need the medicine and I feel better than ever. Instead of numerous medications for depression that put me into a behavioral ward, I found that meditation has almost ended my depression and my need for add/adhd meds. Also a special diet stopped the need for my digestive system and much needed exercise has done way more, so I know for a fact that alternative medicine works and in my point of view is much better than harsh pharmaceuticals. NOW TO THE REAL QUESTION, I was asking that if I simply did the relaxation and offered yoga and meditation in my clinic as well as acupuncture and hired a massage therapist ALONG WITH THE TRADITIONAL CHIROPRACTIC PROCEDURES, while decorating my practice or building the building with an exotic tropical feel would that bother people being that i’d have Buddha statues, NOW where as before I asked that if that would bother christians because in my town in SC the word Buddha would get you flipped out on being that most of the people needing chiropractors were senior citizens and 95 % here are highly religious, I simply was asking from a religious pov if that would cause me a decrease in customers despite how well of a chiropractor I was.

Any help appreciated.

There are scores of alt-med haters here who come just to trash chiropractors and anything else alternative.
They are funded by a Psychiatrist with a lapsed license named Steven Barret, who has run a personal crusade against alt-med for over 30 years. Ignore them obviously.

Chiropractic works extremely well for these types of problems, and just as well for young people.
I wouldn’t stress about their decorations – they’re just trying to make it relaxing, and a bit exotic feeling. Many christians do yoga, which is just relaxation exercises, don’t worry.
They even have Christian yoga sometimes at churches. If they want to contemplate their navel and you want to pray to God, they would be all for it.
