| Everyday we wet at a
central location and were given our
location(s) and our adjusting partner for
the day. This sister is like the
Dominican version of Mother Teresa.
She organized the volunteers who drove and
some even translated for us. She is
also working the ChiroMissions Organization
to build the first chiropractic college in
Puerto Plaza, DR. So far ChiroMissions
has raised enough money to buy the land for
the school. |

 |
| First day of adjusting!
We along with a student named Stephanie were
assigned to a local sanctuary/church.
Initially we started by setting up chairs in
a room about 100 feet from the entrance.
But then we decided to move the chairs
closer to the people. |
| |
 |
| We moved the chairs out
by the street and continued to adjust.
You can see that the priest and a local
woman helped flag people in. As soon
as one person got adjusted, they would go
home and get their kids, or go to work and
get the co-workers. Kids would run and
get their friends and neighbors, and people
driving by would pull over. |

 |
| The lady in the middle
was our driver for the day and the lady on
the right was adjusted last year by a
chiropractor on ChiroMissions and came back
again this year. She was our
cheerleader/#1 fan that day. She
helped us communicate and educate about
chiropractic care. |
| |
 |
| Young, old...people of
all ages were being adjusted. As soon
as the parent got adjusted, they would turn
and hand you their child. There was no
hesitation, no questions, and no concerns.
They simply trusted and knew that there was
hope for them and their children in our
hands. |
| |
 |
| With one very specific,
scientific, chiropractic adjustment, lives
were changed. Typically after an
adjustment we would say to the person, "El
poder ya esta," which translates as "The
Power is On Within You." The nervous
system is the power source of the mind and
body and each and every vertebrae is a
switch. An adjustment simply turns the
power on! |
| |
 |
| We were sent to a wide
variety of places to adjust; schools,
hospitals, churches, prisons, and villages.
At some locations we were greeted by
hundreds of people waiting to be adjusted,
some places we walked the streets and went
into each and every home. Over the
course of 3 days there were a total of
26,000 people adjusted. |
| |
 |
This school was located
about 2 hours into the mountains.
When we arrived we were instantly surrounded
by students, faculty,
and townspeople waiting to be adjusting. |
| |
 |
| In the remote villages,
we walked from home to home to adjust.
Many Dominican families would show
appreciation by making us food.
Traditionally, Dominican food consists of
rice, beans, and chicken. |
| |
 |
As we were climbing the
mountain, the pastor who traveled along with
us would get out of the car and tell just
one household we would be back in
one hour. When we came back, groups would
gather in the churches
waiting for us. |
| |
 |
This picture illustrates
as we walked from home to home children
would
guide us and walk with us, to translate and
tell their neighbors what we do. |

 |
| Words can not express the
health conditions/issues we saw. This
man had a dislocated left shoulder. We
saw everything from dislocations to tumors |
