About
Dr. Charles Francis
 |
|
I was born in Brooklyn and raised in Staten Island, both boroughs
of New York City. My parents, happily married 35 years, are hard working people
who dedicated their lives to teaching students and raising their family.
My education led me out of New York and to West Chester University in
Pennsylvania, where I acquired my undergraduate degree and met my future wife,
the love of my life. |
|
|
While in
college, I was fortunately introduced to the healing power of chiropractic and
it changed my life, my health, and my career path in the greatest of ways. I
then moved to Atlanta, Georgia where I pursed my graduate degree and my life
purpose of serving others through the natural and powerful means of
chiropractic.
Shortly after graduation I married my now wife, Wendi. We
moved to Boston, Massachusetts where I was recruited to work for one of the
best and largest chiropractic practices in the world. With this experience as
my foundation, I decided to move to Charlotte, North Carolina to fulfill my
vision and dream of having my own family wellness chiropractic practice.
Presently we are now five plus years into our growing and thriving practice. We
are changing spines, improving health, creating wellness and consequently
changing the lives of families in our community.
One of my greatest
moments and blessings has been the birth of our beautiful baby girl. I am
excited as I look to the future. I pride myself on providing the highest level
of corrective care possible while making it extremely affordable for
individuals and families to receive this revolutionary care. Wellness is the
pinnacle of health, and I strive daily to be the leader of a wellness movement
for our community here in Charlotte. I look forward to meeting you.

Philosophy
Life in
our society is busier than ever. So, how can one possibly have energy and time
to discover optimal health? It starts with asking better questions, getting
better answers,and then taking action. Without our health we have nothing. Yet
most people do not really know what health is or how to attain it. So, What is
Health? Most people believe that they are healthy if they are not in pain or
they do not feel any symptoms. Really simply put, if they feel good they are
healthy, and when they do not feel so good they are not so healthy. This
understanding of health is completely wrong. If being healthy is how you feel,
can you feel high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cancer developing in your
body, plaque forming on arteries, diabetes etc.? These people may feel good but
they are definitely not healthy! ACTUAL HEATLH is having all of your organs,
glands, tissues and cells in your body functioning at 100% -100% of the time to
your bodies capabilities.
Instead we look for a miracle outside of the
body (medicine), while many miracles are right inside of us waiting to be
tapped. If health and vitality were found in a pill, then why are we one of the
sickest civilized countries in the world? Why? Because medications all have
dangerous side effects and only mask the symptoms, or try to replicate a
chemical, hormone, or process and never get to the root of why the problem
actually occurred. This inherently causes a negative cascading effect to our
health, which may not be felt immediately but certainly will with time.
That is why you have noticed our children are sicker than ever with an
increase in conditions such as Type 11 Diabetes, ADD, ADHD, ear infections and
allergies. Diabetes in the last 10 years has risen a remarkable 33 percent.
Obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, depression, and strokes are
rising at a remarkable rate within the adult population in our nation as well.
According to the most recent research, 85-90% of all people have or will
develop limiting spinal problem in there lifetime. Is it time to take action
yet?
By now you may be thinking what is health and how do we attain
it?
There is a condition known as SUBLUXATION
(Sub-lux`a-tion) which is a misalignment to your spine. Subluxations
dangerously alter the way that nerves communicate, which directly affects the
health of your body. Can you imagine that nerve that is subluxated going to
your heart, your lungs, your liver, your kidneys, your digestive tract or your
reproductive organs. Can you imagine the side effect that might occur as a
result?
|
|
Four important facts about Subluxations:
|
|
1. Subluxations are usually silent (just like high blood
pressure or high cholesterol) and may not be noticed unless present for long
periods of time.
2. Even minor displacements of the spine
(Subluxations) can greatly affect your health. It only takes the
equivalent of the weight of a dime on a nerve to effect nerve
function.
3. A great indicator of subluxations is a persons
posture! Your posture is a direct reflection of your spine. If you have a high
shoulder, head tilt, hip rotated, head jutting forward or any other posture
abnormality then your spine cord function has been dangerously altered. It is
highly likely you have this silent dangerous condition and need to be checked
immediately.
4. Subluxations tend to run in families (hereditary)
or in people who do like activities. |
|
Health is
not merely the absence of symptoms, but rather the attainment of wellness.
Health is truly measured at the cellular level. Our body is constantly building
and breaking down with new cells replacing the old. If you have subluxations
your nerves will have a difficult time developing normal healthy cells. If too
many abnormal cells develop, this is know as the beginning of the disease
process. Proper alignment of the spine (removal of subluxations) will allow
proper nerve information and will increase normal cell production and function.
I have personally witnessed everything from migraines stopping,
seizures ceasing, asthma clearing up, ear infections becoming non existent,
allergies dissipating, vertigo gone, sciatica halting, chronic pain
disappearing, reduced high blood pressure, getting off anti-depressive
medications, attention deficient disorder resolved, children off ritalin,
increased energy levels, less stress, sleeping through the night and so much
more. All of these amazing accomplishments were achieved through the reduction
and correction of subluxations. This is all done safely, painlessly,
effectively, and efficiently without the use of risky drugs or surgery.

My Life Purpose, My Mission and Personal
Promise
My Purpose
|
|
I did not always know my life purpose but I still inherently
knew that I was put here to serve others in a significant way, but I did not
know the details. Then chiropractic came into my life and everything changed.
My life purpose is a tremendous and exciting challenge
but it is daunting.
My purpose is to educate and adjust as many
families as physically possible in order to allow them the opportunity to
achieve optimal health through naturally powerful chiropractic care. In doing
this we remove dangerous nerve interference and allow the innate ability of the
body to heal. My life purpose is to serve God, my family and my patients
through education, knowledge, and action. By being honest, trustworthy, loving,
consistent, relentless, and fearless for myself and everyone who wish to learn
and grow with me. |
|
My Mission
|
|
The word DOCTOR means teacher. I will not stop teaching until
the subluxation becomes a household word.
My mission is to have everyone in the family get checked for subluxations on a
regular basis. Similar to getting your teeth checked for cavities and getting
regular cleanings.
My mission is to share the awsome healing potential
of chiropractic with my community and advocate subluxation check ups and spinal
adjustments throughtout a persons lifetime. That is why I have written my book,
why I speak at venues all over Charlotte, why I perform spinal screenings
wherever possible, why I teach other doctors, why I place newspaper ads, why I
have educational commercials, and why I need you to spread the word and take
action by getting yourself checked first. |

The
greatest minds used to believe the world was flat! (Who believes that today?)
The greatest minds used to believe man can not fly! (Who believes that
today?)
The greatest minds believe subluxations do not exist and
chiropractic does not work!
(What will the greatest minds think
tomorrow?) |
My Mission is to be the center of a health and wellness
movement right here in Charlotte, North Carolina through the power of
chiropractic education and knowledge.
|
|
My Promise
|
|
| My promise to each patient is to give 1000% of myself. I
promise to provide the highest level of corrective care possible, I promise to
help you achieve the once unthinkable, I promise to make care affordable for
you and your family, I promise to provide a well trained and courteous staff, I
promise to educate you, I promise to be relentless towards wellness with you,
and I promise to never stop believing in you. |
