Dr. Susan Johnson
When you schedule to see Dr. Susan Johnson, her visits will be included with your treatment plan as prescribed by Dr. Elahi.
Dr. Johnson's mission:
To present alternative treatment choices that prevent disease and chronic health problems by detecting the cause of an imbalance with problem specific nutritional protocols.
Understanding Clinical Nutrition:
Most of us understand that traditional medicine is excellent in its treatment of acute conditions, but fails miserably at preventive and chronic care. The reason for this is that a disease or condition if well progressed by the time it shows up in routine diagnostic tests. At that point, the solution to the problem is usually prescription medication or surgery. But in many cases, the cause of the problem remains untreated initating a nonstop downward spiral of compromised health.
The solution then is to prevent disease and chronic health problems by using different diagnostic tools and different solutions for health compromise.
This is what Dr. Johnson brings you at Health First Chiropractic.
About Dr. Johnson:
While working as a massage therapist and attending chiropractic college, Dr. Johnson was in a severe car accident. The physical trauma temporarily forced her to drop out of school and take a leave of absence from work. Coupled with years of stress, she expierenced debilitating fatigue for a second time. She struggled for many years to regain the vitality she once knew, but nobody could tell her the cause of the fatigue. The answer eluded her until she started studying clinical nutrition. Dr. Johnson is a chiropractic graduate of National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, IL. She spends most of her c ontinuting education hours passionately studying nutritional approaches to improve the health and well being of her patients.
"Each of us has made poor choices that have compromised our health, but each also has the freedom to change. I urge each of you to make that change to a higher level of health!"
