our philosophy

Dr. Kolbus has a deep respect for the ability of the perfectly-created human body to fight illness and disease and even heal itself without surgery or medication. Unfortunately, people and this world are not perfect. We are stressed in our jobs and our lives. We sleep poorly or not enough. We ingest toxins. Our modern diet leaves a lot to be desired. Accidents and injuries happen. All of these things contribute to displacements or derangements of the spinal column. This is often what causes the body to malfunction. Sometimes these malfunctions are obvious or painful, and sometimes they go unnoticed because we either don't see the damage for years or decades, or because we attribute the malfunction to something other than our spinal health.

Dr. Kolbus firmly believes that reducing or eliminating interference in the function of your nervous system will allow your body to operate more efficiently and more comfortably. He believes that immune health is improved when the nervous system is properly functioning and that even emotional well being is increased when the body is allowed to operate as it was designed. He trusts that the body would know what to do if it were not interfered with, and so believes that keeping your spine properly aligned and allowing the nervous system to function at peak performance is the key to avoiding the whole gamut of potential problems in your health.

The philosophy of Munising Family Chiropractic is grounded in the belief that health comes from the Inside Out and not from the Outside In. Standard medical care seeks to treat symptoms by adding something from the outside – a medication, a surgery, a procedure. Our wellness philosophy seeks to turn on the body’s natural healing ability, not by adding something, but by removing anything that might interfere with normal (and optimal) function of the body.
