Change is a constant. Whether you have anything to do with it or not, change is occurring. Of course, that does not mean that the change that is going to occur is the one that we want to occur. This is where the fear of change emerges within us. We are not that happy with where we are, however we are more fearful of where we could go.
It seems to me that in order for a person to change their current state of health, they have to be more uncomfortable with where they are, than their comfort level with change itself. Only then will a shift occur within them that allows them to change their circumstances for the better.
Examine your current situation in it’s entirety right now. Does your health, in it’s current state, keep you from participating in an area of life that you would like to?
Do you know the kind that gets so involved in a sports event, that they have an emotional reaction to it? If their team wins, then they feel good, if their team loses, it can literally cause a heart attack. In fact one name comes to mind right away: Mike Ditka
He is still referred to as “Coach”, because of the time that he put on the field. He was known as the overly-emotional Chicago Bears coach for years on end. He would get so emotionally involved in the game that he was ordered by his doctor’s to stay away from coaching. Not only was he ordered by his doctors to stop coaching, the advice given to him was to refrain watching, or even listening to the game on the radio!
All of us know someone that is affected in a negative way by an event, that really doesn’t alter their life at all. They let outside occurences affect their mood, their happiness, and ultimatelly their life experience. This is one stress that has an affect on our health and well being. This stress negatively affects our nerve system. In fact, I agree with BJ Palmer, the great Chiropractor of Davenport, IA that found 85% of all subluxations being caused by emotional stress.
So, lighten up a bit. Your health depends on it. After-all, it’s just a game to you. At least the coach had a reason to be so attached to the game…his career depended on it!
Is there anything that can equal the awesomeness that is your innate intelligence?
Think about your first day of life. Not the day that we call your birthday, I’m talking about the day life actually occurred for you. A life formed out of union of a sperm and an egg. From that early union, began life for you. Since then changes continue to occur. These changes occur mostly with no input from you at all. In fact without input from you, the changes that occur within you are much more likely to be better, than with your “intellectual” input at all.
To think that we know more than the power that made you, is completely wrong. As a chiropractor, I watch, and remove interference to that wonderful power that already resides within you. This allows for the maximal expression of your life.
It seems to me that more often than not, a person will follow their:
brain instead of their heart
intellect instead of their gut
educated mind instead of their innate mind
other’s opinions instead of their inner wisdom
All too often, we take other’s opinions and agree with whatever sounds good to us at that time. Like a balloon blowing in the wind, whichever gust blows the hardest, is the direction we take. Whomever speaks the loudest gets our attention. Unfortunately, the ones that tend to speak the loudest in the “healthcare” field, are those that have the most money.
I strive to guide my patients to a land of rational thought. The place where you think for yourself. Education is used as a reference point, understanding that there is no substitute to real world testing. We give research and information on health, and let you draw your own conclusion.
I don’t want to perpetuate the follower attitude. I want you to think for yourself. Of course you will know my opinion, and I believe I earn my patient’s trust…however true understanding and change in paradigm, with regards to true healthcare, has to be found on your own.
Today I had the opportunity to check the nerve system of a 1 day old. This is always one of the most humbling experiences as a chiropractor. To know that I am working with the Innate of a newborn, is awesome. To see the wiggle, as the spine moves to a more comfortable position, to experience the tense brow right before the interference is removed, and then to see a relaxed face, near a smile as the adjustment takes effect on the imprisoned impulse within this new child…is as close to heaven as I can imagine.
Welcome to the world, Isaac. The best gift I can give is a freely functioning nerve system on day one. It will serve you well.
Of course! A subluxation is interference in your child’s nerve system from stresses of normal life such as a fall, a trip, or even day 1 (traumatic birth). Here is the key, however….you don’t know if your child has a subluxation, unless a chiropractor checks them. Interference to the growing and developing nerve system of a child occurs all the time, without a parent’s knowledge. This can be easily checked, and corrected by a knowledgeable chiropractor.
Accidents happen all the time, therefore subluxations happen all the time. Fortunately I am trained and experienced to remove these subluxations with gentle, effective chiropractic adjustments to your child’s spine.
When your child’s nerve system is working at its peak, you will see changes in the health of that growing individual. As a parent, my main goal for my son is that he can be whomever he chooses to be…to the best of his ability. With chiropractic in his corner, his nerve system will work at 100% throughout his entire life. With a nerve system working at its peak, you are healthier. Who doesn’t want that for their children?
