Do You Get the Message?

Many people think chiropractic is about bones, especially spinal bones. But the fact is, we’re much more interested in nerves. In particular, the nerve messages that travel between the brain and the body.

Any type of disruption can distort or disturb the integrity of the controlling and regulating messages from the brain. The result is ill health.

A common culprit is the 24 moving bones of the spine that cover the information super highway of your nervous system. When spinal bones lose their normal motion or position, it can irritate nearby nerves. We call that a subluxation.

Because the nervous system controls every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body, chiropractic care has been known to help with a wide variety of health problems.

Maybe you know someone who has been told that it’s “all in their head” or that they’ll have to “learn to live with it.” Worse, someone who thinks they have a muscle relaxer shortage! Send them our way. Or, forward our newsletter by clicking the "Email a Friend" link below.

The Three Bears

We all know the story of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Especially the part about the porridge being too hot, too cold and just right.

Think of “just right” porridge as producing a sense of ease. It’s one of the most wonderful and desirable feelings. When our minds are at ease, we are calm, resourceful and naturally creative. When our bodies are at ease, we sense everything is working as it should and we radiate strength and vitality. And when our spirit is at ease, we enjoy peace, joy and a sense of connectedness. Ease is the most desirable state. Even the Baby bear knew that!

But when we lack ease it could be said that we are in a state of dis-ease.

As you would suspect, suffer from a compromised state of dis-ease long enough and disease is just around the corner.

That’s what we notice when new patients begin care. They’ve lost their ease and they want it back. Since ease is a function of the nervous system, we know just where to look!

Are You Plugged In?

It’s exciting to see all the interest in organic foods, pure drinking water, exercise and fitness.

Yet, many of these well-intentioned folks are simply wasting their money.

Don’t get me wrong, the success and growing popularity of chiropractic is related to this new interest in things natural. However, if you know someone who is shopping organically and reducing their dependence upon processed foods, but not getting regularly adjusted, they could be wasting their money.

Let’s say you go to your favorite grocery store for your weekly shopping. And because you’ve wisely shopped the perimeter of the store where the fresh foods are, you return home and immediately put things away in your refrigerator.

But you overlooked one little detail. Your refrigerator isn’t plugged in! It has a major subluxation at the wall socket.

In the same way your body cannot properly digest, assimilate and eliminate foods with a subluxation interfering with your digestive system, your refrigerator cannot preserve, protect and prolong the vitality of your foods without a properly functioning electrical system.

That’s the waste. Because your nervous system runs the whole show. If it doesn’t work right, you don’t work right. And if you’re not working right you can’t fully benefit from your organic food, gym membership and your other ‘healthy’ habits.
