If you bought a blender solely for the purpose of chopping ice, you’d be missing out on its potential to do so much more. After spending some time with your new appliance you may discover it can also grind fresh almond flour or make delicious smoothies – the culinary sky’s the limit once your mind opens to possibility!

If you went to the Chiropractor solely for the purpose of easing back pain, you’d likewise be missing out on the many health benefits that come from its proper use. After spending time in regular care you may notice your energy increasing, your sleep patterns normalizing, your digestion improving – a few of the many health changes that come from maintaining a healthy spine and nerve system.

When it comes to Chiropractic, don’t sell the product short by using it only for pain relief. Do your homework and discover all the features and benefits this drugless form of care can offer. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at how it can transform many aspects of your healthy – the sky’s the limit when your life line is clear!

Did you know the very first Chiropractic adjustment wasn’t for back pain? Here’s how it all started as told by our founder Dr. D.D. Palmer…

“Harvey Lillard, a janitor, in the Ryan Block, where I had my office, had been so deaf for 17 years that he could not hear the racket of a wagon on the street or the ticking of a watch. I made inquiry as to the cause of his deafness and was informed that when he was exerting himself in a cramped, stooping position, he felt something give way in his back and immediately became deaf.

An examination showed a vertebra racked from its normal position. I reasoned that if that vertebra was replaced, the man’s hearing should be restored. With this object in view, a half hour’s talk persuaded Mr. Lillard to allow me to replace it. I racked it into position by using the spinous process as a lever and soon the man could hear as before.

There was nothing “accidental” about this, as it was accomplished with an object in view, and the result expected was obtained. There was nothing “crude” about this adjustment; it was specific, so much so that no Chiropractor has equaled it.”

And that’s how Chiropractic was born on September 18, 1895 – good thing D.D. was a great persuader! 

Happy 123^rd Birthday! 

Toes in the sand, not a cloud in the sky, 75 degree water temps. Vacations are the perfect time to decompress, spend precious time with family and friends and reconnect with your soul. What could possibly stress your body?

How about ten days of sleep on a mushy mattress? Or two hours of novice water skiing/body dragging lessons. Not to mention the bottomless Mojito’s and obligatory trips to the dessert buffet…and don’t forget nursing the nasty sunburn from day three. Unfortunately, stress doesn’t take time off. The scenery may change but your nerve system is still hard at work – reacting and adapting to those “relaxing” shifts in routine. It’s a prime opportunity to become subluxated!

If you’ve been away from the office for a while, we hope you’re well rested. But now it’s time to get back on track and into a healthy regimen; especially getting your spine checked and cleared of subluxations. When you need to recover from vacation – put chiropractic on top of your itinerary!

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 healthy, 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!

You can possess the most beautiful, detailed and well thought out set of blueprints for a mansion, but without a competent general contractor to execute those plans, the structure doesn’t get built. The plan is worthless without a builder.

You can have the perfect blend of DNA – Brad Pitt’s good looks, Einstein’s intellect, Michael Jordon’s athletic ability. But your genetic jackpot would stay dormant without an innate intelligence to turn the sequence on, yielding the perfect end product. The code is useless without life!

In medicine, much emphasis is placed on the blueprint’s (DNA’s) influence on health, while chiropractic, emphasis is rightly given to the power which creates and animates the matter in the first place. The former is USELESS without the latter!

The strength and stability of an arch is unparalleled in architecture. Each block supports massive loads from above while evenly dissipating stress to the foundation below – the most important block being the keystone. Without it, the entire structure would fail.

If your health was an arch made of building blocks like good dietary habits, proper rest and exercise, the “keystone” holding everything together would be regular Chiropractic care! Keeping your spine in proper alignment not only maintains structural integrity, but keeps your nerve system functioning at its optimum – and without a clear nerve system, your body couldn’t take full advantage of all those good habits in the first place.

Can your body withstand the loads of life without Chiropractic care? Eating right and getting enough rest are important to guarding your health, but it’s a strong nerve system (supported by regular spinal adjustments) that keeps everything in place. Make sure you’re not missing this important keystone! 

What do you use to see with? If you said your eyes… you’d be wrong. How about hearing? If you said ears… wrong again. You don’t see or hear with your eyes or ears. Those are just end organs for collecting light and sound waves. To actually see and hear you have to interpret those waves with your nerves and brain (Nerve System) first!

In reality, you live in your Nerve System. EVERYTHING you experience in life is processed through it… what you see, what you hear, what you feel! That’s why Chiropractors care so much about keeping it healthy. If your Nerve System is stressed, there goes your ability to interpret your world, and there goes your ability to successfully navigate life.

Regular adjustments keep your Nerve System clear so you can respond to life’s challenges in a positive way. If you’re feeling a little foggy, or just disconnected from the world, maybe it’s time for some Nerve System house cleaning. Give your Chiropractor a call today and get reconnected to life!
