El Segundo Chiropractor | El Segundo chiropractic care | CA |

Dear Friends,

For the past 25 years of being in the health field I have heard, seen and spoken on a lot of different health topics.  I have dealt with issues of pregnancy health, pediatric health, general health, fitness health and senior health.  I have worked with patients with cerebral palsy, autism, cancer, chronic fatigue, migraines, asthma, high risk pregnancy, stroke victims, MS, etc.  But, with all the tragic illness in the world, there’s nothing worse than a closed mind!

We all have different stories, but we all share the same emotion.  In our lives there are constant causes and effects.  I know this first hand.  On August 31, 1979 my stepfather died in my arms with his last breath of my CPR.  Stopping the CPR to make sure the fire department knew exactly where we were to bring them promptly up the stairs.  It felt like an eternity for them to get there gear.  The question I asked myself was if I would have continued CPR would he be alive today?  The answer was no, but, it took me eight years to answer that question. I went through some terrible times of doubting myself.  I dropped out of school and got involved in a lot of bad stuff. 

Finally, when I was at my lowest, a friend shared some words that changed my life, “Have you ever thought of being a massage therapist?  You have good hands and a kind heart.”  The rest was history, I changed everything.  I spent the next couple of years putting my life back together.  I got my GED, worked hard to learn how to read at an adult level and ten years later became a Doctor of Chiropractic. 

I am blessed with a beautiful, and very supportive wife Diane and two wonderful children, Vincent 12, and Tyler 10. I was also blessed with a passion for something I love to do - helping people.  This has changed my life.  Every day is not perfect, but even the craziest day is great compared to any one of those lost years.

So what is your story? What makes yours worst? And what are you going to do about it?  People get upset.  They tell me I don’t understand.  I tell them you’re right I don’t know what they’ve been through, but I do know how they feel and I understand their emotions.  After 15 years in chiropractic, we have rarely advertized, our practice has grown from word of mouth.  I believe I connect with people, not their problem.  We step back and treat people differently. How?

We look at the whole person - structurally, chemically and nutritionally.  We do macro-care in our office by treating the whole person vs. micro-care which just treats the symptoms.  Health care practitioners are not miracle workers.  Some patients get healthy faster than others, but you can’t compare your body to someone else’s.  Healing takes time.  Blood changes every 90-120 days, muscles heal in four to 12 weeks, ligaments six to 18 months and bones six months to three years.

 I invite you to the beginning of the rest of your life.  To see, live and experience a healthy lifestyle.  Let’s try to slowdown the aging process and to restore yourself to the healthiest you can be.

Sincerely,

Dr. Vincent Marcel
