A little bit about Dr. Lozier
Dr. Lozier is a DABCI and a Chiropractic Physician. These are both nationally recognized Board Certifications. DABCI – Diplomate of the American Board of Chiropractic Internists
Simply put, Chiropractic Internists are doctors with the tools and training to diagnose a wide spectrum of conditions along with an education to use natural treatment options. In an era where, more and more people have become concerned about the adverse reactions of prescription and over-the-counter medications, Chiropractic Internists are becoming a popular alternative. Every year, more and more patients are choosing Chiropractic Internists as the first doctor they visit when they get sick or are having health problems. Chiropractic Internists are trained not only in medical diagnostics but also utilize more alternative, cutting edge testing and natural treatment plans, these alternative practitioners find themselves evaluating and successfully treating those patients deemed by the medical community as "challenging" or even "hopeless". How is that possible? It's the approach: a time-honored method of doing the "detective" work in addition to using diet and nutrition to replace dysfunction and illness with normal body function and health.
Chiropractic Internists are trained and licensed to draw blood, order tests and can not only read lab reports but are good at looking at those reports and evaluating nutritional status. You many find your Chiropractic Internists also orders saliva, urine, and stool tests as well. And since Chiropractic Internists are the natural version of a Medical General Practitioner, you’ll find they are trained to order and read a wide variety of tests (e.g. abdominal ultrasound, EKG, breathing tests, MRIs, CT scans, etc.).
Chiropractic Internists use the same diagnostic tests commonly utilized by other medical professionals. However, it is in the treatment methods where they differ. Since Chiropractic Internists do not seek prescription pharmaceutical license and are not interested in doing surgery like medical doctors are, they treat their patients' conditions using natural treatment methods, which often include dietary and lifestyle advice, nutritional changes, vitamin and mineral supplements, herbs and other natural-based therapies.
