Holistic House Calls Come to San Francisco

And How It Can Benefit You

Having a practitioner to come to your home is not a new method of practice. It was the beginning of healthcare, but has been considered archaic within the age of technology and convenience. Ambulances come to you, and 911 access is at your fingertips. Hospitals are within a short drive away, or here in San Francisco, a five minute Uber ride away. Practitioners are no longer jack-of-all-trades, but instead specialized, and the field of general practitioners is becoming scarce. Meaning, for surgeries you still need to seek care at a location with modern equipment, and for infectious diseases you need further testing done at another office. And, why visit people in their homes, when they have access to now come to you within the hour?

While the idea has been deemed archaic and gone with the wind, it is seeing a surge in today’s society. Medical organizations have targeted house calls, but we are now seeing a shift in house calls. We are seeing veterinarians, massage therapists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, and chiropractors making house calls. You are now having holistic healthcare services brought to you, infusing your lifestyle and your home with preventative and supportive care.This shift is so important, because now we can target lifestyles in order to make a change in healthcare. Imagine a world where we can prevent most disabilities, most diseases, and most prescription dependancies by tailoring care to an individual’s environment?

While there will be no more classic Gladstone Bags, these practitioners can be seen weaving through the hills of the city streets in their mobile practices, pulling along their tables on wheels, and carrying backpacks of supplies.

Who does this then benefit? People with disabilities and with limited mobility find great comfort and ease by getting care in their homes, but also parents who have a family and differing schedules to consider. Working individuals will see benefits as they spend most of their days at a computer or office, and have little time with their added commute to make an office appointment. 

Imagine, having a doctor come to your home before you leave for work? Or while you are at work? Or after you bring the kids home from school? This convenience will bring preventative care to the forefront of healthcare, as many will no longer have the stresses of transport, traffic, and differing schedules to complicate access to preventative care.

As a house call chiropractor, I see already so many people getting tailored care for them and their families. They no longer have to coordinate office visits, waiting for their appointments, getting limited face time with the doctor, and understand exactly what chiropractic can really do for them.

With house call chiropractic, at least within this profession, we can understand our care on a deeper level, allow our nervous system to fully react to the adjustment without travel and office stresses, and focus on what lifestyle you want to live.

Enjoy more time with your hobbies and your family, and have access to holistic healthcare within your home. In no other way can you heighten your potential to heal and grow in a more convenient, and comfortable avenue!

Thank you, and stay tuned to lifestyle and wellness information!
