Preventive main- tenance is the answer. I don’t get many calls saying ‘I'm feeling fine, but I'd like you to check me out to make sure.” I wish I did: then I could help them prevent so many of these problems. “l wish people would learn to utilize the health care professionals in their area. It can be fatal to assume that the definition of health is simply the removal of symptoms. The trend seems to be reversing though. People do seem to be becoming more aware of their bodies in a whole sense.’’ Does the stucture of the American health care sys- tem allow an individual to choose the appropriate health care method from among all its sophisticated technological branches? And do doctors of all types freely refer patients to specialty areas for treat- ment? Dr. Dohner answers: ‘“‘It is a basic premise of chiro- practic that many factors may lead to any given desease. If 1 feel that a patient needs a type of medical treatment I can’t provide, 1 refer him else- where, usually to an ortho- pedist, because those are the kinds of problems I see most. It would be nice if the health care system worked cooperatively. That’s a sore point with me: medical doctors say we don’t refer, but we do refer—openly. Sometimes they don’t refer even in their own ranks. But hopefully we’ll be recogniz- ed more as a useful branch of medicine. It looks like we’re beginning to gain the respect we deserve at last.” The educational back- ground requirements for chiropractors is impressive: a minimum of two years in college with a basically pre- medicine major and an emphasis on the need for courses in psychology; then four years in an accredited chiropractic college, with more anatomy and phsyiol- ogy and x-ray anaysis, and less pathology, than medical school. *‘l1 graduated from Man- heim Central High School,” Bruce Dohner says, “I attended Lock Haven State and Franklin and Marshall College and graduated from Sherman Chiropractic Col- lege in South Carolina.” There are approximately 20,000 doctors of chiroprac- tic in the U.S. and there has been a 73% increase in utilization of chiropractic in the 10-year period of 1964-1974. “It’s an open field: there’s been quite an increase in the need for chiropractors,’”’ Dr. Dohne1 states. ‘‘Four or five more chiropractic colleges have started just in the past couple of years.” And what about Bruce Dohner, 27-year-old private citizen, father of an eight- year-old daughter, native of Manheim? How and why did he choose to be a chiroprac- tor? “‘I became interested in chiropractic as a career by being a chiropractic patient,”’ he says. ‘‘I had a severe health problem as a child and, after going the medical doctor route and after three years of - not getting any better, I started with a chiropractor and my condition improved fast.” August 29, 1979 Has Bruce Dohner follow- ed his own advice and formulated his own pre- ventive maintenance pro- gram? Resoundingly yes. He’s trim and healthy. His office bulletin board shouts the praises of a good diet. He lifts weights regulary, a holdover from his high school wrestling days. He eats right, even chiding me gently about sugar in my coffee: ‘‘Have you ever tried honey?’ And he runs three miles three or four times a week, on a course near his home on Ciderpress Road north of Manheim. Bruce Dohner is clearly an intelligent, medically edu- cated, health-oriented chiro- practic practitioner, and he obviously and enthusiastic- ally likes to use the tenets of the ‘‘natural health care” his profession promotes. He maintains, with a disarming grin, that his practice of chiropractic depends ‘‘al- most not at all’’ on his psychological influence on his patients (commonly known as ‘‘bedside manner’). ‘‘They’re scepti- cal about chiropractic,’”’ he says, ‘‘until they get better.” He stops and smiles. ‘‘Then they trust me!’’ Marietta Senior League to meet Wednesday, Sept.
