Time always moves so fast….well, unless you are watching a bad movie or sitting in a long meeting…..but generally, time flies. It was this time last year that we were putting the finishing touches on our new office in Meredith: Crossroads Chiropractic Lakeside. We had a number of people commuting from the Lakes region down to our Pembroke office, so Dr. Stephanie had the inspiration and desire to bring philosophical corrective chiropractic to their location and into the lives of their friends and families. The grand opening of the Lakeside office was September 18th, 2011. The grand opening went off without a hitch and it has been a fun, fast ride ever since.
I feel like Meredith and the surrounding communities were filled with people who were interested in their health and looking for answers in a natural, non-surgical and drug less manner. The people there were very welcoming. It is a beautiful place for the second Crossroads office to call home. The phones rang immediately and we began to meet and care for many new practice members, for many this would be their first experience with chiropractic.
Many came seeking help for the classic reasons: pain. Pain in the back, headaches, leg and arm numbness, etc. There were also people seeking answers for things that many don’t associate with chiropractic, but you all know can be helped by it: heart arrhythmia, ADHD, allergies, constipation, tinnitus, to name a few. We began to see great healing in our office, knowing full well it has very little to do with the chiropractor and much to do with the body’s own amazing healing capacity when the innate intelligence or autopilot that is housed in your nervous system works correctly through an adjustment to a subluxated vertebrae. It never ceases to be an amazing thing to see the ability our bodies have to heal and adapt.
Overall, it has been a fun year. We grew as an office and added a new team member, named Lauren, to run our desk in Meredith. We began writing a monthly column for the Weirs Times, discussing taking back our health and really owning it as individuals. My family and I moved to Meredith to be closer to the new office and part of our new community. The most exciting and best part of the year, however, was seeing many new people experience a better quality of life, through natural chiropractic care. None of this would be possible without all of you. Our practice members in Pembroke and now in Meredith fuel us and encourage us. We are constantly thankful to be a part of your lives. Personally, I’m thankful to get to be a part of the Crossroads team and at the point of our Meredith office. Dr. Stephanie and the whole team makes it very easy to have fun and be successful at work. As do our families who love and support our offices as much as we do.
Keep up the great work, all of you. Your health is in your hands. Continue to make the best possible choices for your health and each step of the way and we will do our best to bring you the best in healthcare choice: a drug less, non-surgical, corrective option.
This Saturday, September 17th from 11am-2pm we will be having a 1 year anniversary open house at our Lakeside office with treats, games, and free chair massage. We invite all of you to come and celebrate, not just a great first year, but the healing power of each of us possess in our innate intelligence. We hope to see you all there! It’s been a fun ride so far and God willing, this will be the first of many anniversary invites we give you! Thanks again we really, truly appreciate all of you!
In Health, Dr. Graham, chiropractor
