Cast Don't Heal...

If you were unfortunate enough to break a bone, you know what it's like to get a cast. With a little re-positioning and some skilled plastering, the fracture is stable. After a few weeks when the cast comes off, you're just as good as new. So did the cast do the healing?

Plaster casts and Chiropractic Adjustments have something in common... neither one can heal you. Sure, both may be necessary after an injury. But they can only create the environment necessary for healing to take place. Casts align broken bones so they can mend, adjustments align misaligned vertebrae to optimize nerve flow- but it's the innate healing power of LIFE inside you that scripts the healing.

The next time you come for an adjustment to instantly ease your headache, your sciatica or your sleeping problems, understand it's not the adjustment that produces the result. Adjustments simple create an environment conductive for healing. The doctor inside you is the one who does all the work.

“Healing With The Brakes On…”

Ever feel like you're spinning your wheels when it comes to

staying healthy? You eat right, exercise five days a week and

try to get enough sleep – you've got the 'pedal to the metal' 

when it comes to staying fit, but something's holding you

back. Maybe it's time to pay more attention to your Nerve

System.

Although you've got one foot on the gas, Subluxations can put the brakes on your progress. Subluxations are troublesome misalignments in your spine that irritate your Nerve System and rob you of potential health energy. The effect is like trying to drive with your brakes on. You've got your fitness throttle wide open, but you're going nowhere fast.

If you want to stop spinning your wheels when it comes to your health, prioritize your spinal care. When it comes to unleashing more health horse power, nothing releases the brake like Chiropractic can.

“Chiropractic Colored Glasses”

What does the world look like through Chiropractic colored glasses? Does your health shine brighter… are your relationships with friends and family more in focus… is your job performance sharper and crisper?

You 'see' everything through your nerve system – how you 

feel, how you interact with the people around you, how you 

perform at home or at work. When your nerves are stressed, 

the line between barely existing and fully living is blurred. 

However, the more clear your nerve system, the better your 

ability to interact physically, mentally and spiritually with the

world around you; and ultimately the better your quality of 

Life.

When a Chiropractor adjusts the stress from your nerve 

system, it's like cleaning the dirt, streaks and smudges from

the lens through which you interpret your world – and with a

clear lens you can see all your potential. Life is vibrant when 

you're viewing it through Chiropractic glasses.

It's All About Time

The Sixth Principle in Chiropractic states there is no process which does not require time, including the healing process. BJ Palmer (the developer of Chiropractic) believed that with time and clarity in the nerve system, the body could heal itself in just about any situation.

A sick cell is replaced by a healthy one – healthy cells become healthy tissues – healthy tissues become healthy organs – healthy organs make a healthy human being. The conversion from sickness to wellness is an innate process that can only be performed by the doctor within you, via a well toned nerve system.

Healing is therefore a process of RE-creating yourself, one cell at a time, over a period of time. The power that made your body is more than capable of converting you from sickness to wellness. All it needs is a clear pathway and enough sand in the hour glass to accomplish it.

Launching Your Care

"Launching Your Care"

In it's heyday, the space shuttle would generate nearly 8 million pounds of thrust just to lift itself off the launch pad into the atmosphere. Once beyond the earth's gravitational pull, it didn't require as much effort to stay in space and could effortlessly cruise at 17,500 mph with a fraction of that power. The same can be said for your Chiropractic care plan.

The start of any healthy endeavor requires more effort-in Chiropractic that means more visits in the beginning to break free from the gravity of dis-ease and build forward momentum. Once free from the "pull" of poor habits and chronic illness, it requires less effort to keep you aloft.

It takes more effort to get off the initial care launch pad than it does to stay in a healthy orbit. If you want to get results, expect to put more work in at the beginning of your care. Your chiropractic team is ready to help you along the way... just stick with the mission plan and you'll reach your destination.

Symptom Whack-A-Mole

"Symptom Whack-A-Mole"

The object of the carnival game Whack-a-Mole is to use a mallet to hit as many critters as possible when they pop up in random succession. Trouble is, as you hit one mole, three more pop up and disappear before you can nail them all. Whack-a-Mole is a perfect metaphor for how people are medicated today. Unfortunately in this game you end up on a ton of drugs, for a bunch of problems, with no actual improvement in your health.

According to a NCHS Data brief by the CDC, over the last 10 years the percentage of Americans who took at least one prescription drug in the past month increased from 44% to 48%. The use of two or more drugs increased from 25% to 31%. The use of five or more drugs increased from 6% to 11%. Yet despite taking all these drugs, the US embarrassingly ranks 37th among the world's industrial countries when it comes overall health.

For Chiropractors, health is not defined by how many symptoms you can temporarily 'whack away' with drugs, but how well your body can adapt to its environment and heal under its own innate abilities. You have more healing intelligence in your little finger than all the doctors and pharmacies in the world put together. Big Pharma doesn't believe so, but Chiropractors do. Keep your Nerve System clear and you won’t have to play their failing game.
