The Sixth Principle in Chiropractic states there is no process which does not require time, including the healing process. BJ Palmer (the developer of Chiropractic) believed that with time and clarity in the nerve system, the body could heal itself in just about any situation.

A sick cell is replaced by a healthy one – healthy cells become healthy tissues – healthy tissues become healthy organs – healthy organs make a healthy human being. The conversion from sickness to wellness is an innate process that can only be performed by the doctor within you, via a healthy, toned nerve system.

Healing is therefore a process of RE-creating yourself, one cell at a time, over a period of time. The power that made your body is more than capable of converting you from sickness to wellness. All it needs is a clear pathway and enough sand in the hour glass to accomplish it.

Structures built on strong foundations last.  The same goes for your health.  If you want a healthy body for Life, you need to build it on a solid foundation of health care that will support it for a lifetime.

Chiropractic's foundation is its Principle – a belief that we all possess an intelligent, vitalistic force within that maintains our existence and keeps our bodies working in perfect order. When this Power is allowed to express itself 100%, health supports us. When the Power is interfered with, we succumb to dis-ease. Eating properly is important, as is exercise... but if the Power that holds your body together doesn't flow, the most important house YOU live in will crumble.

Health built on a foundation of drug therapy is risky and doesn’t stand for long. Health build on a foundation that supports the innate wisdom of the body, can weather any storm. What foundation is your health built on?

You don't become a battle ready soldier by playing Call of Duty®... and your favorite pro football team won't start you at quarterback just because you've mastered their offense in Madden Football®. The simulated world of video games is no replacement for REAL WORLD experience. So how can you expect an artificial shot to make you REALLY immune to the flu?

Your immune system is pretty smart.  Every time your body is exposed to germs or viruses in the environment, your immune system detects the invader and mounts an appropriate defense.  Maybe your immune system creates a fever to make it difficult for the invader to spread, or a general malaise to shift energy away from muscle activity to white blood cell production. Whatever the response, your immune system innately learns and builds on its expertise - growing its ever expanding protective skills from REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE. That's the right way to build natural, acquired immunity.

Germs and viruses don't naturally come armed in formaldehyde, mercury, glycol, aluminum adjuvants, gelatins, foreign egg proteins and antibiotics. Those 'video game' bugs don't exist - yet that's the extra insult your immune system has to contend with when you allow an artificial flu shot into your veins... and there's nothing REAL WORLD about that.

Are you an overly anxious person?  Is worry a perpetual state of your being? Unfortunately, that constant 'fear of what's lurking under your bed' mentality can be creating the chronic pain you have in your body right now.

According to Hans Selye MD, well known author of The Stress of Life, transient anxious states elicit a natural stress response in our bodies.  However, prolonged and persistent levels of anxiety can cause an OVER reaction. Your muscles become so tight, they unintentionally pull your spine off its axis - creating posture distortions, chronic immobility and potential nerve damage (a.k.a subluxations). That's how constant FEAR causes constant PAIN.

Nothing is scarier than living in a perpetual, subluxated state.  If you know someone who's suffering with chronic stress, anxiety and pain, tell them how Chiropractic care can potentially pull them from the darkness of dis-ease into the light of health and happiness. Have a Safe and Happy Halloween!

If you bought a blender solely for the purpose of chopping ice, you'd be missing out on its potential to do so much more.  After spending some time with your new appliance you may discover it can also grind fresh almond flour or make delicious smoothies - the culinary sky's the limit once your mind opens to possibility.

If you went to a Chiropractor solely for the purpose of easing back pain, you'd likewise be missing out on the many health benefits that come from its proper use.  After spending time in regular care you may notice your energy increasing, your sleep patterns normalizing, your digestion improving - a few of the many health changes that come from maintaining a healthy spine and nerve system.

When it comes to Chiropractic, don't sell the product short by using it only for pain relief. Do your homework and discover all the features and benefits this drugless form of care can offer. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how it can transform many aspects of your health - the sky's the limit when your Life line is clear.

Prolonged healing can cause frustration. The time it takes to get better from an injury or illness can sometimes feel like an eternity - and unfortunately, science shows that if you BELIEVE that strongly enough, you can slow or stop your recovery process in its tracks.

The subconscious mind is greatly influenced by your thoughts and beliefs. Negative mantras like "I'll never get better," or "I'm just getting old," can take hold of your psyche, triggering your body to execute those commands whether you mean them or not. There's something to be said about guarding your health against stinkin' thinkin'.

The conscious part of our brains need a nudge towards the healing direction every now and then... not just to keep you hopeful but to keep your 'INNERGY' working towards its ultimate goal, to make you well. Your Chiropractor is here to give you that nudge when you need it.
