Chiropractic For a Healthy Person
You might wonder why a perfectly healthy person would see a Chiropractor or get adjusted on a regular basis. Most people are of the opinion that the best time to take care of their spine is when it is hurting... but is that really the best way to go about your health?
"Nothing is bigger than LIFE."
Such a beautiful and simplistic statement with a very deep and profound message to all. One of the most important components to making sure we can live a life full of happiness and joy is our relationship to our health and wellness. Simply put, our eternal life is equivalent to our internal energy supplies. 100% energy = 100% life, 0% = death. So often we make the mistake of taking our body and our health for granted and wish we could take back the hands of time once our health is no longer where we wished it was. The Dali Lama was once asked what surprised him most about humanity, here is his answer: “Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices his money to recuperate his health.”
1. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure.
Everything we do in life is accumulative, meaning it all adds up over decades and often started when we were very young. This is a key philosophy to our individual, and our families long term wellness. Let's take our teeth for example. How often are we told to brush and floss our teeth? Twice a day, right?! What would happen to your teeth if you were to only start brushing them when you turned 40 years old? How healthy would they be, or would you even have them at all still? The same philosophy applies for our nervous system. Our spine and nervous system should be maintained and kept in tune from day 1 to keep our body, mind, and nerves healthy for good.
2. Life is Better when you are Aligned
The chiropractic worldview has always been a simple one, life is better when you’re aligned. Think about your brain and nervous system like a big mobile phone. We know we need 5 bars of reception for clear communication, apps, and internet usage. With only 1 bar, our phones are slow, sluggish, and do not operate well at all. Our bodies are the exact same. If you are not receiving the proper messages from your brain to your body, it’s just like having 1 bar of reception internally. Research studies have shown up to 90% of children born are subluxated during the birth process. That is like dropping your reception from 5 bars down to 3 bars immediately from day 1.
It is often the misconception to use chiropractic care when our bodies are already showing signs or symptoms of damage or breakdown. Sadly, by the time these signs have appeared, these problems have been building and accumulating slowly in our body for years or even decades, leading to long term health problems and a very frustrating journey to try to recoup our health. A much more effective and enjoyable way to use your chiropractic care is when your body is already in a great state of health and you wish to keep your brain to body connection strong and clear.
