Introducing Dr. Brett Hightower of Health Space in Raleigh
I became interested in wellness care and in the field of natural medicine while working at a small hospital in the mountains of North Carolina. While there I realized that I was surrounded by sick people. The doctors, the nurses and certainly the patients were not in good health. I decided that I wanted to study disease from a different perspective. I wanted to study function rather than dysfunction.
My studies first lead me to field of Neuro-linguistic programming, which focuses on psychological models of wellness and great communicators. This piqued my interest in natural healing methods and my studies lead me to Hawaii where I was exposed to a wide variety of approaches to healing. The more I studied, the more I realized we don't know.
I began to focus on the central role of the nervous system in regulating energy and health. Chiropractic and acupuncture both deal with the management of bio-energy so that is where I turned my attention. This search for safe, effective drug-less methods to improve health still drives my life and my practice. We are on the cusp of a true wellness revolution, a merging of eastern and western healing methods that is the focus of our work at Health Space.
I have come to realize that the best way to stay healthy is by the careful cultivation of Qi (Chi) or life-force energy. I practice Qi Gong exercises and keep my energy balanced with regular chiropractic care and occasional acupuncture.
By visiting my site and reading this brief bio I know that you are interested in these questions as well. I hope to have the chance to meet you and help you understand why Health Space offers the services we do to help you reduce pain and grow healthier. Give us a call so we can help you on your journey to health.
