JUNE 2024

Happy June!

Welcome to longer and warmer days. As you spend more time outside, remember to make time for yourselves.

So many of you have told me about your travel plans and your outside chores for your lawn, garden and your pool. You are entertaining your friends and family and attending sporting events. This is all so important for your wellbeing. Being outside and socializing are good for the soul. With all that being said, please remember to take care of yourselves.

As your schedule becomes more hectic, it becomes more important to make time for your chiropractic adjustments. As your stresses increase so does the need to get adjusted. It does not matter if you have an ache or a pain. It does matter if you have a spine and a nerve system. Your brain, spinal cord and nerves are vital to the functioning of your body. Make the time to keep you and your family functioning at your best.

Make it a "self-care Saturday" or "maximize your function Monday" if you need to schedule your visit . Whatever day works for you, make it a priority. You are worth it!

Forgetting to wind

Imagine for a moment that an ant had gotten into a museum and crawled onto a painting done by the artist Rembrandt. It took one look at it and said I'm not impressed with this painting.

What the ant sees with its very limited vision is only a small part of the whole painting, and hence, not a very accurate description. Stepping back to see the whole painting is obviously a better way to appreciate it.

What we know and understand about the body is seen from a similarly limited view. Despite all the knowledge that we have about anatomy and physiology, it is embarrassing how much we have yet to discover about the human body. It is very humbling to admit that we know so little.

Thankfully our bodies don't have to wait for us to catch up and figure out how it all works. Even a newborn’s body can work properly without knowledge of anatomy or any physiological processes. Luckily, living things have an inborn organizing principle governing our body through adaptation in order to maintain it alive (innate law of living things/innate intelligence).

As long as there is no interference in our nerve systems due to a vertebral subluxation, the information created by this innate law of living things can be expressed freely throughout our bodies and perform its duties allowing us to have the potential to function as normal as possible. The purpose of a chiropractic adjustment is to remove vertebral subluxations that can cause this interference.

This is why it is so important to make sure you and your loved ones get checked regularly.

Questions about spinal adjustments

Spinal joints that are locked up, fixated (subluxated) or not moving right can lessen your body's ability to function at its best by creating interference to your body's master controller - the nerve system. This happens when Chiropractic adjustments eliminate the interference to your nerve system and allow your body to function as best it can for as long as it can regardless of the presence or absence of symptoms.

There are many ways to adjust the spine. We use only our hands. Others may use an instrument. It is an art that we as chiropractors trained long and hard to master.

Can I adjust myself? No. Some people can make their joints "pop" but that is not an adjustment. It is non-specific and potentially damaging. With all of our training, even we cannot adjust our own spines.

Are adjustments safe? Yes. New Zealand government study concluded that chiropractic adjustments are "remarkably safe." Taking an over-the-counter pain reliever is about 100 times more risky.

Will adjustments make my spine too loose? No. Only the spinal bones that are subluxated will be adjusted. This allows weakened soft tissue structures to stabilize and heal.

What makes the sound? Lubricating fluid is present in each spinal joint. Some adjusting methods can produce a sound when the gasses pass through the membrane surrounding the joint. It's like opening a can of soda or removing a suction cup. The sound may be interesting, but has no correlation to the quality or effectiveness of the adjustment.

Simplicity

"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."

~Albert Einstein

1.The body is a self-healing mechanism. Cut your finger; it heals. Cut the finger of a corpse; it does not. Life heals.

2.The nervous system is the master system of the body. Every aspect of the human experience is processed through the nervous system.

3.When there is interference with the function of the nervous system, not only can it compromise your physical well-being, but it also can have psycho-emotional consequences because it distorts your perception of the world and limits your ability to respond to the environment. When this happens to a significant number of people in a society, you have a sick society.

4.What I do as a chiropractor is locate and correct the cause of that interference.
