"There have been more advances in research in the last decade than there has been for the last 100 years. We now know that when you deliver the chiropractic adjustment you are changing the structure and function of the brain. We have at the confluence of chiropractic and neuroscience achieved a deeper understanding of our purpose - our why as chiropractors. My mission is to share that message with as many people as humanly possible."
Dr Mo will be in Costa Rica this coming November, March and June as she joins fellow chiropractors in a humanitarian service trip to deliver needed care to underserved communities!
