Sometimes the OD can help us to let our patients know if a decision is sound. I can recall several patients in their 50's or 60's that were recommended for hip replacement surgeries.

OD said it was time for them to go ahead with the surgery and to use chiropractic to support the recovery process.

I've used KST on quite a few patients so their surgical hardware can have a better relationship with their body. OD also lets them know that their bodies want the procedures and that they will come out ok. Some patients are upset or embarrassed because they don't think I would want them to have surgery. By using OD to voice the wishes of innate, we retain a respectful relationship.
