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.

More work gets dumped on your desk at quitting time… School calls to schedule an emergency parent/teacher meeting... Stress pumps into your Life like air pumping into a bicycle tire, with no end in sight - if some pressure isn’t let out soon, you’re bound to burst.

As resilient as you think you are, your nerve system can only absorb so much stress before it succumbs to the load. When it finally gets a flat, your health and your Life comes to a halt. But there’s something simple you can do to avoid such a disaster.

Spinal adjustments act like the relief valve on an over inflated tire. Just a gentle push and PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.... all that pent up stress comes out. That’s why you feel so light and depressurized after your Chiropractic visit. Doesn’t it make good sense to ease Life’s pressure regularly before you pop?

Having your house or car broken into is violating. The feelings of shock, loss and disbelief are usually immediate when you first see the rummage and devastation of the event.  It's obvious you've been robbed.  But what if the theft happens slowly overtime?

Imagine having your house broken into day after day, week after week for years... all without your conscious awareness. The thief takes one small, thing at a time - an obscure picture off the wall here, a small item tucked away in the draw there. Until one day they steal the ONE thing that makes you finally wake up and take notice. The ONE thing that defines WHO YOU ARE.  Losing your health to Subluxations is a similar to that.

Every moment spent in a Subluxated state robs your body of normal physiological function, slowly and silently without your awareness.  Until one day the ONE thing that makes you "YOU" disappears... perhaps your ability to work, play with your kids or enjoy your favorite hobby. The question is, what are you going to secure your nerve system and safeguard your health against the slow robbery?

When you get a paper cut, the natural thing to do (after getting over the intense pain) is clean it up and put a Band Aid on it to protect it from getting irritated.  After a few days when the bandage comes off, the cut is hardly noticeable.  The question is, did the Band Aid do the healing?

Band Aids and Chiropractic Adjustments have something in common… neither one have the ability to heal you.  Sure, both are helpful after an injury.  But they can only provide an environment conducive for healing to take place.  Band Aids approximate damaged skin to optimize the mending, adjustments approximate misaligned vertebrae to optimize nerve flow – but it’s the innate healing power of Life inside you that scripts the repair.

The next time you come for an adjustment to instantly ease your headache, your sciatica or your sleeping problems, understand it’s not the adjustment that produces the result.  Chiropractors don’t perform miracles.  The doctor inside you is the one who does that work.
