Simple steps, bright future:
Business and the
environment together.
As people and community members, Dynamic Balance Chiropractic has always been a strong supporters of initiatives that reduce the damage done to this world by the convenience of the human experience. Essentially, we recognize that it is outside of the current capabilities of the world to adapt to the damaging acts we are voluntarily committing as a society, and we seek to reduce the frequency of those acts. As a unique correlate, in our practice at Dynamic Balance Chiropractic, we have the role of improving the sustainability of the lives of the individuals we serve by helping them not only cleaning up after the “non-sustaining acts” they are committing against themselves, but educating individuals as to how to make better lifestyle choices so that the damage is left undone.
As a new business, we had the blessing of starting from scratch to make decisions regarding the footprint we leave not only on those we serve, but on the local and global environment. Starting up is capital intensive and not all of the most “green” initiatives can be put in place from the outset. We have, however, managed to install a floor plan that maximizes the use of space and natural light, utilized refurbished equipment where possible and practical, used VOC-free paint, chose carpet which has a high percentage of post-consumer-recycled content, used fluorescent and motion sensor lighting, and practice “boomerang lunches” for doctors and staff, among many other initiatives.
Future commitments include completely paperless documentation systems, commitment to minimized waste production, minimized packaging and delivery distance of the retail goods that we carry, the installation of a point-of-use bottle-less drinking water system, and the education of our clients on the correlation between taking care of themselves and the world around them.
We understand that there is always room to grow, and we constantly endeavor to meet that potential for growth with the desire to do whatever is within our means to do our part, and more.
