CNN Español Live interviews Parker president

The chiropractic profession has the unique opportunity to help its patients achieve a lifetime of healthy living. Dr. Fabrizio Mancini, president of Parker College of Chiropractic, recently shared this insight with viewers of Nuestro Mundo daily news program aired on CNN Español Live, watched by an estimated 38 million viewers.

“Chiropractors work on prevention, not just acute healthcare,” Mancini explained. According to Dr. Mancini chiropractors champion the health of their patients through treatment intended to remove interference with the body’s muscular, nervous and skeletal systems, especially the spine, which could reduce the body’s ability to resist disease.

Two basic premises support chiropractic care. First, the body is designed to heal itself. Second, the body is controlled by the nervous system, brain, the spinal cord and the nerves that go to all the cells in the body.

Mancini also told the viewers that many Hispanics use a doctor of chiropractic as their primary health care provider because chiropractic uses a natural, holistic and conservative approach to healthcare. He noted that supporting the growing demand for chiropractic care by the Hispanic population will require more Hispanic chiropractors.

“Not only is there a need for Hispanic chiropractors,” Mancini said, “but also for a continued addition of highly trained and skilled chiropractors to meet the growing demands for chiropractic care.”

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, employment of chiropractors is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through the year 2012. “Over 30 million American seek chiropractic care on an annual basis. We need to make sure our profession is ready to help meet their health needs,” Mancini concluded.
