JULY 2023

Happy JULY!

How is it possible that it's July already? Time sure does fly and it seems like it goes by faster as we get older.

Thank you for the birthday wishes, text messages, cards and gifts. I am truly touched by your thoughtfulness.

I recently had a conversation with a dear friend and he mentioned that coming to the office each week was part of his "self-care Saturday". He scheduled his haircut, had a massage and was in the office for his spinal check-up. He also planned on a few hours of rest because not only did he deserve it, it was needed. All of his actions that day were to benefit his total self.

Taking the time to attend to yourself is necessary. You are important. You are worthy of your time. It is so easy to get caught up in the every day that you forget to prioritize yourself. Did you eat healthy meals? Did you get good sleep? Did you let the trivial nonsense take from your happiness?

When making the list of things to do, remember to add those things that fill your cup. Things that are self-care to you. Chiropractic adjustments add to your total well-being. Removing interference to your nerve system is the ultimate self-care. Without a healthy nerve system, your cells, tissues and organs cannot function as they are intended. You have one body. You have "one place" to live! Make the absolute best of it. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your self-care. See you on your next visit.

Touching a hot stove

If you placed your hand on the burner of a hot stove, what's the first thing you must do to start the healing process?

Get your hand off the stove!

Sounds simple, but it's true. While your hand is on the stove you can take drugs to kill the pain. You can even eat, exercise, and rest better. But until the hand is taken off the stove, those things may not have any benefit. In fact some might even be downright foolish. You and/or other people can determine what would be right for you. But understand that your hand WON'T begin to heal until it is taken off the offending irritation of the intense heat.

Once your hand is taken off the stove do you expect your hand to look, feel, and function normally right away? No! It's going to take time to repair and heal all that damage. The same principle applies to your chiropractic care.

A subluxation acts like the burner of the hot stove. It may cause damage, inflammation, and sometimes even pain due to nerve interference. Sometimes there may be no symptoms that you are aware of as the body begins to malfunction.

Healing and better functioning can occur only when the offending nerve interference is removed with regular chiropractic adjustments. But that won't necessarily bring instant relief or improved function. Removing the nerve interference is simply the first step in a timely process.

So if you don't feel great immediately after your adjustment, don't be discouraged. With time, damaged tissues will have the better potential to heal and your body will function better. For now, be confident that the healing process and improved functioning have at least started because the "hand has been taken off the stove".

It's not how you feel, it's how you function

Racing cars have spoilers to cut down on wind "drag".

Structure affects function.

Swimmers may shave their bodies and wear skin-tight suits to lessen their resistance in the water.

Structure affects function.

Bowling balls are round for a reason. How many pins could you hit if the bottom of the ball was shaved flat?

Structure affects function.

Your body is functioning exactly as it is currently designed. To change the function of your body, YOU MUST CHANGE THE DESIGN, the structure!

When you and your family have your spines checked weekly for subluxations, you influence your structure (body) in a positive way. If your structure is better, your function will be better, every time.

Did you brush your teeth today?

Did you remember to brush your teeth today? Of course you did. It's a given the majority of you reading this right now understand the importance of taking care of your teeth or dental hygiene. Common sense tells us it's easier and smarter to maintain healthy teeth from the start, rather than waiting for cavities and decay to set in before we take action. We only get one set of permanent chompers so it's important to brush and floss daily in addition to regular dental check-ups and cleanings.

Have you had your car's oil changed recently? Unless you really enjoy walking everywhere, then the answer is yes. Once again, this is common sense. Which is smarter? Wait until our "whip" breaks down before or maintain the "life" of our vehicle with oil changes, tire rotations and tune ups? Another no brainer; if we want the best performance out of our vehicle we need to provide it with what it needs.

Did you get your spine checked today? We just concluded how important taking care of our teeth and cars are, but what do you do to make sure your spine and nervous system are running on all cylinders? Did you know that your nervous system coordinates and controls all functions in your body? EVERYTHING...from normal body functions like heartbeat, breathing lungs, digestions, filtering blood and muscle tone to other aspects of life like creativity and perception. You literally live your life through your nervous system. The nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord and nerves which supply each of the 70 trillion plus cells that make up you. Throughout life we all encounter stress. Stress actually causes the bones that surround and protect our spinal cord and nerves to misalign and get stuck (this is called a subluxation). When this happens it interferes with the nervous system. So the nervous system controls everything that happens in your body; do you think it's a good idea to interfere with this system? Heck No! That is why just like taking care of your teeth or car, regular spinal checks and chiropractic adjustments help keep your body working the way it should. Why wait until your health breaks down before making sure your spine and nervous system are tuned up?
