Sirens blare - blue lights flash in the rear view.  You're getting pulled over and a rush of adrenaline surges through your body. Thoughts begin to flood your head. "Am I gonna get a ticket? Will I get off with just a warning? Is this guy CLEAR?"

You might not readily think of the last one unless you're a Chiropractor, a CA or a Chiropractic advocate. But if you understood the ramifications of a suppressed nerve system and how it negatively affects the way we interact with each other, you'd certainly be concerned if the police officer approaching your car was suffering with chronic subluxations. We fall short of our potential at work, with our friends and with our loved ones in the presence of nerve interference - no one is immune from the effects.

A cop's job is hard enough, let alone trying to perform it in subluxated state. If you know someone on the force or have a family member on the job, please tell them about the benefits of Chiropractic. We care about them. We want our finest working and living CLEAR - don't you?

The Major Premise of Chiropractic states "there is a universal intelligence in all matter that continually gives to it all its properties and actions, thus maintaining it in existence." Literally, something smart is holding the universe and all its components together in perfect organization and order.

Since you too are part of the universe, that unseen wisdom is holding you together as well - maintaining your physiological functions, your ability to resist life's stresses and your state of health. In Chiropractic terms, that special intelligence inside you, the one that's holding YOUR internal universe together is called “innate intelligence.” Without it, you wouldn't be in existence.

So here's a great question to ask you Chiropractor on your next visit... If the same power that holds the cosmos together is inside you, holding you together in perfect organization and operation, how could something dead or artificial from the OUTSIDE (like a pill, a potion or prescription) do a better job of healing you than what your inner Power is already capable of - as long as it's not interfered with?

If you leave kids unsupervised, something bad is bound to happen.  Worse yet, if they haven’t made a peep for a while – that’s when the most chaos is going down! You have to look in on them every now and then to make sure there’s no trouble.

If you leave your spine neglected for too long, inevitably it gets into trouble too.  Vertebrae get out of line, joints misbehave and nerves become irritable.  Before you know it, your health is a total a mess.  When your spine’s away from Chiropractic supervision – Subluxations will play.

Kids will be kids, and spines will be spines. You’ll never be able to protect them from every danger. But you can avert a fair number of mishaps with regular monitoring. Being responsible is maintaining a close eye on both.

Electricity flows through power lines and messages of communication flow through phone cables... but the 'power' that flows through Nerve fibers is far more intricate, intelligent and critical to your Life.

Nerves carry 'smart' signals - organized instructions and data which relay from the brain to the body and from the body back to the brain.  This complicated loop forms the communication network needed to guide every physiological function in your body from respiration to perspiration... assimilation to elimination... tissue breakdown and tissue repair.  Innately, trillions of these messages flow through your nerve system every second of your Life, in an automated effort to keep you alive without your conscious input.  So how important it is to maintain this amazing system?

This is the realm of Chiropractic care - the protection and preservation of these 'Life wires' so that you can experience perfect function, abundant health and well being.  The doctor inside you can accomplish just about anything as long as your internal power lines remain clear.

In the classic scene in The Wizard of Oz we find Dorothy, Toto, Tin Man and Scarecrow timidly walking through the woods on the lookout for the three dreadful threats conjured up in their imaginations - lions and tigers and bears, oh my...  In Chiropractic, the three big threats we warn patients about (the big three that cause Subluxations) are physical trauma, chemical trauma and auto-suggestion (thought) trauma.

According to the founder of Chiropractic, DD Palmer, approximately 20% of nervous system interference can be attributed to physical injuries or poisons from outside the body... like a slip, fall or overdose.  The remaining 80% can be traced back to persistent negative emotions or self-talk that literally build tension in your muscles, pull vertebrae out of alignment and freeze your nerve system in its tracks - rendering you stiff like a Tin Man, foggy brained like a Scarecrow and overly sensitive like a Cowardly Lion.

A Chiropractor can locate your Subluxations, restore normal spinal alignment and reduce nerve interference when necessary. But it's your responsibility to, 1. Be cognizant when any of the big three "T's" attacks you and 2. Get adjusted ASAP so worse problems don’t manifest. Doing so will keep you and your loved ones on the yellow brick road of health.

To eliminate darkness, you must add LIGHT. Darkness is nothing more than the void left behind in the absence of energy... in this case, “LIGHT.” Likewise, to eliminate coldness you must add the appropriate energy “HEAT” to fill the void left behind.

So if darkness is the absence of light, and coldness is the absence of heat, what can be said of disease?  If there's a Life Force in the body that provides health and order, could limiting the presence of that energy in the cells, tissues and organs of your body also leave behind a void?  It in fact does, and Chiropractors call this void Dis-ease.

Chiropractors recognize that to eliminate dis-ease, you must add “HEALTH.” When you remove interference from the nerve system and allow vitalizing Life energy to illuminate every nook and cranny of the body, the void of dis-ease is overcome. 100% innate expression over time equals health.  This is the formula on which our profession was founded and the sick get well.
