The predominant reason people seek out medical help is due to pain. From my years of experience, more people seek relief from back pain than any other form of pain.

Despite the fact that many patients have been to multiple practitioners and undergone multiple forms of therapy, many still suffer from back pain. Why is this?

The heart pumps blood to the rest of the body. The timing of this pump is perfect, beginning at an impulse site known as the SA node.

The heart has its own electrical system, if you will. The two top chambers contract, pushing blood into the two bottom chambers and then out to the body and the lungs.
