Change

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?

Emotionally Involved

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!

Why Kids Need Chiropractic

Do kids have a nerve system?

Do kids have a spine?

Do kids get subluxated?

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?

Experience

Your experience, whether you are happy with your experience or not, is taking place through your nerve system.  At this very moment you are reading the words, not with your eyes, but with your nerve system.  Yes, your eyes see the image, however without a brain and a functional nerve system, the words on this page would make no sense whatsoever.  Sometimes just thinking about these small things we are able to do…can make one understand how so intricately mastered we are.

  • Without the eye, we can not see.
  • Without the nerve system, the eye is useless.

Doesn’t it make sense to keep our nerve system as healthy as possible?  Your entire experience counts on it.

Perception

No one knows what you are really experiencing at this moment right now.  There is no one that can truly “feel your pain”.  The truth is that we all experience life through our nervous system.  Without a properly functioning nervous system, our perceptions are literally skewed.  Chiropractors see this phenomenon in their office all the time.  The demeanor of the patient from day one to 6 weeks later.  Are they in a better mood because they are starting to feel better? Sure, however there is so much more to it than that.

As your nervous system works at a higher and higher rate, you are able to experience life at a higher level.  What was perceived as a poor situation, is now seen as an opportunity for growth.
