The worst part is the patient actually thought it was good advice. When he relays the story to his Chiropractor, the Chiropractor responds “if your smoke detector went off in your home, the 1st time it would probably catch your attention… the 2nd time it would most likely take hold of you. But if it went off a 3rd time and you were finally compelled to do something, would you take the batteries out so you wouldn’t have to hear it anymore? “Of course not,” the patient replied “that would be stupid…” The patient got the point.

The moral of the story… Symptoms are your body’s attempt to save itself. Masking your symptoms (whether it be pain, nausea, diarrhea or fever) with drugs doesn’t fix the problem, it can actually make the situation worse. It’s smarter to get to the CAUSE of the problem and deal with it the RIGHT way. That’s why they call Chiropractors DC’s because they are Doctors of finding the Cause!

So what is the goal of the chiropractic adjustment? To move the bone? To relieve the pain? To make you cringe?? The intent of a chiropractic adjustment is to restore normal function to the joint complex, relieving any nerve irritation that was caused by it. Now, i am a great chiropractor, been adjusting people for over 18 years now. But I know deep down in my heart that I can’t physically move a bone 5 mm to the right with a simple adjustment. There are way too many other factors involved, muscle tension, ligaments, reflexes, tendons, bone structure, how long its been in the wrong place, etc.. Sure I can make your bones pop and crack, but thats not why I do the adjustments. Your body has an intellegence in it that keeps the peace so to speak. It’s call innate and this intellegence is what keeps and maintains your health and your body. I as a chiropractor adjust bones out of place to help your innate be able to recognize propblems in your body, not just pain, but all organs, tissues and cells respond to innate.

So next time you are in, remember the crack isn’t our goal, its getting and maintaining proper health.

You ‘see’ everything through your nerve system – how you feel, how you interact with the people around you, how you perform at home or at work. When your nerves are stressed, the line between barely existing and fully living is blurred. However, the more clear your nerve system, the better your ability to interact physically, mentally and spiritually with the world around you; and ultimately the better your quality of Life.

When a Chiropractor adjusts the stress from your nerve system, it’s like cleaning the dirt, streaks and smudges from the lens through which you interpret your world – and with a clear lens you can see all your potential. Life is vibrant when you’re viewing it through Chiropractic glasses. Repost Weekly Sticky via Dr. Pfeiffer and West St. Pauls Unlimited Chiro Club.

Your Nerve System gets overwhelmed from daily stress. An urgent work deadline, unexpected family crisis or any inconvenient change in your routine are unsolicited stresses (spyware or a virus) that bog down your nerves. The result – your body slows down, runs sluggish and eventually “freezes up” with an illness. Getting a Chiropractic adjustment is like hitting the Control+Alt+Delete buttons. It clears your Nerve System of unwanted stress and gets you running fast again.

The stress our grandparents experienced in a week, today we get in just 24 hours! If you’re not purging the tension from your Nerve System on a regular basis, your hard drive could crash. Get ‘rebooted’ routinely with Chiropractic care and stay ahead of the failure.

All the cells, organs and tissues that make up your body need an even distribution of neurotrophic (Life sustaining) energy from your Nerve System in order to flourish and grow.  If parts of your body are deprived of this energy, likewise you’ll develop dull brown patches (dis-ease) on your internal lawn.  Chiropractors refer to it as being ‘Subluxated.’

The goal of Chiropractic care is 100% coverage of neurotrophic Life energy in your body – and that’s achieved by keeping your Nerve System clear of blockages at the spinal level. If you don’t want to see ugly, brown, weak patches in your health, stay EVEN and consistent with your Chiropractic care.  Repost Weekly Sticky via Dr. Pfeiffer and West St. Paul’s Unlimited Chiropractic Club.

This picture demonstrates how some people interpret information, this guy obviously got it wrong, but in his mind he heard the words differently.  Our body sends us messages all the time, for the most part I think people don’t understand those signals correctly.  Headaches are a sign your body gives you when something isn’t right, same with back pain, numbness, even high blood pressure.  These are messages your body is sending you, telling you something is wrong.  And no, your body doesn’t give you a headache when your body is low on tylenol or acetominophen.  It doesn’t give you back pain when it needs a drug……  Headaches can be a sign of a hundred different things, but never, ever are they from not enough pain relievers.

Dehydration, bones out of place, hormone imbalances, blood flow issues, stress can all cause a headache, the body gives you this as a sign that something is wrong.  Now taking a pill will make the pain go away, but if you read my smart pill post awhile back, it doesn’t actually know where or what is wrong, it just numbs the brain so you can feel the pain anymore.  So the body gave you a signal something is wrong, you took a pill to numb the brain, now your body has no way to remedy the problem, because it doesn’t even know it has a problem…..I am not saying pills are bad, what I want to get acrossed is that fact that the pain you felt, was a sign, message, statement your body made to tell you something is wrong.  My view is you find the problem and fix it if possible.

Thats it for today…

The constant, never ending stress of life builds tension in your nerves like an over twisted rubber band that robs you of experiencing the fullness of Life.  Chiropractors refer to this state as being ‘Subluxated.’  If you don’t regularly purge this tension from your nerves, it builds silently until a physical or emotional crisis manifests.  The solution… release the tension with preventative Chiropractic care, and get control of your Life again!

Chiropractic care gently removes stress from your spine and spinal cord before a critical failure can occur.  This is one ‘rubber band’ you need to keep clear!  Unwind your stress with regular Chiropractic adjustments and start experiencing the tension free Life you were born to have.
