Time is one of those subjects that your doctor will not want to talk about. Most people, in fact, will try to play into the hands of the consumer with their wishes. Most patients, consumers, and customers want the goods NOW. Sometimes that is possible. Sometimes all it takes is one adjustment, and that individuals life visibly and completely changes. I had that happen just this week. However, more often than not, healing, and therefore changes, take time.
The real question is, “How much time?”.
That depends on how much time it took for you to get in this condition. Notice I said, “condition”. I did not say, “How long have you had the symptom?”. Once the length of time of the condition is discovered, then and only then can an educated answer with regards to time occur.
Fortunately, the body heals faster than it will degenerate. From my experience, the average patient will take 1 month to heal 1 year of condition. Therefore, if the condition is found to have been present for 20 years, then 20 months is healing time. Another fortunate for you, is that what you feel (your symptoms) will clear up much sooner than your healing time.
It takes work to get what you want. Sometimes it takes work to just get what you need. If health and happiness is what you seek, then it would stand to reason that it will take some work. How much work depends on two things:
1-Where you are.
2-Where you want to go.
In the most brutally honest fashion, it is imperative that a reality check occur on a regular basis. I suggest you use real, hardcore data to determine where you are. I use a few measures to tell me where I am, here are a couple that if not utilized, take precedent immediately:
1-Insight Subluxation Station- The nervous system controls every function of every cell, tissue, and organ in your body. Therefore, it would stand to reason that a healthy nervous system is vitally important as a measure of your health.
2-X-rays- Provide a picture of the condition of your spine. A healthy spine = a healthy nervous system. If there is degeneration present, then the amount of degeneration negatively affects your true health and happiness.
We’ll talk more about where you want to go next time.
Until then, find out where you are with your health. No excuses, reasons, complaining, or justifying allowed. Be honest with yourself. It takes work, however you will have a starting point…then and only then can change occur.
The most common sign/symptom that you need chiropractic care: ___________________________________.
(More often than not, the most common sign that you need chiropractic care is no sign at all. Interference to your nervous system can occur, and cause no symptoms for years….silently causing damage to your health.)
Luckily for you, a chiropractor has ways of measuring your nervous system whether you have signs/symptoms or not.
What are you putting off right now? I’m not talking about doing the dishes. What I am speaking of… is life changing habits, or actions. The thing that can make next year, 5 years, or 10 years down the road remarkably different than it is today.
If you are like me, this is what is going on in your mind:
On one hand, you are sitting there reading these words on your computer, phone, i-Pad, or other device, and you say to yourself, “what the heck is he talking about?” On the other hand, you know exactly what I am talking about.
Remove the fear. Remove the doubt, remove the anxiety and attachments. These “things” (I use this “thing” term very loosely), as they are not real. They are manifestations of a lowered self-esteem. Remove them, and truth will come your way. The truth I am seeking today, out of you, is simply this:
What do you know that can change your life for the better? All that it requires is a little action, and a step out of your comfort zone. It’s time to take that step.
If you had the knowledge of an IN-born, INtelligent, INnate ability of every human being to heal from any and all of life’s colds, flus, aches, diseases, or cancers what would you do with this knowledge?
Wouldn’t it seem reasonable that you would tell all of your friends and family (at least the ones that you care about) about this POWERful “thing” that resides withIN them?
This very thing exists in you. The power to organize, repair, construct, destruct, re-construct is all there. The ability for you to be the absolute best version of YOU is so close within your reach, that it ALMOST seems impossible, too good to be true, or out of grasp.
WithIN all of us is an INnate that is all knowing when it comes to your health and well being. Support this INnate, don’t fight it, cut it, burn it, or drug it.
