Chiropractic WORKS!

Today was an amazing day in the office! Patients had the most wonderful stories about the changes going on since beginning care. From a child whose tics are resolving to a woman who is nearly out of a pain, lives are being changed. For those out there who wonder how Chiropractic can change lives the answer is very simple, your nervous system.

Your nervous system controls everything, from your first thought of the day to your memories of your kiss goodnight, your emotions, they are all stored or created in your nervous system. When one of the bones in your spine misaligns and interferes with the way your nervous system functions, then your body does not run properly. Let this go long enough and you have a big problem!

Getting checked for these misalignments that Chiropractors call subluxations is simple and painless (most kids think it tickles) and can change your life. Why don't you get checked today?

Have you ever stopped to think about what being healthy really means? Most people think that feeling good is the same as being healthy, which is not always true. We have all stubbed our toes in the middle of the night and while this can be incredibly painful, even if you break your toe, it is not a serious injury. On the other hand we all know people who have cancer or diabetes, both of which are serious and life threatening diseases, but often not painful.

So why do we think that feeling good means we are healthy? Drugs. More specifically, drug companies. They spend billions of dollars advertising aging couples having a great time in flower fields with children who we must assume are their grandchildren, looking like they feel great and are healthy, all so they can convince us to "ask your doctor if gullibrex is right for you." Most of the time there is little information to let you know why you would even consider taking the drug, unless it magically transports you to that field. This type of advertising is becoming even more dangerous as "off label" drug use is becoming more common.

In case you don't know, off label drug use is when a drug is prescribed for something other than what the FDA has approved it for. This practice is becoming more commonplace and expect it to boom in this economy. Worse yet, the FDA doesn't keep track of any of this.

Most importantly remember that drugs do not make you healthy. If they did the person that took the most drugs would be the healthiest. True health comes from a healthy lifestyle that includes proper exercise, rest, diet, spirituality and of coarse a subluxation free nervous system.
