Assisted healing

Dr. Mike Rumpel of Elk Valley Family Chiropractic in Fernie recently joined the Chiropractic Cancer Foundation for Children.

“We will enrich the lives of children suffering from cancer by helping to ease their pain and nurture a process of self healing,” said Rumpel.

Stress and poor circulation can undermine the body's natural healing powers and interfere with the central nervous system's ability to communicate effectively. The purpose of the foundation is to ensure that all children with cancer have access to free chiropractic care so that cost is not a factor in the decision to obtain this important form of care for all those in need.

“By adjusting any subluxations, we free the nervous system to relieve stressors," Rumpel said, "allowing the body to self heal and self regulate.”
