Good Things Come to Those Who Wait... or Not!
Hi Julie! I haven’t seen you for almost two months – great to see you again!” I greeted my practice member as she came in to see me early last week. “Yep, it’s been a while but I wanted to wait until I was done with all of my yard work and gardening before I came in to see you,” she answered. “Why is that?” I inquired. “Well, I didn’t want to come in when I knew I still had work to do that could mess me up!” she responded. Although I don’t hear this kind of remark all that frequently, it still pops up often enough.

Many people are stuck in thinking that the purpose of the adjustment is to eliminate something. That is, they believe the reason to get checked is that they might have something they shouldn’t have, like pain, spasm, inflammation or interference in the nerve system (i.e., subluxation). This thinking is actually totally backwards. It’s not that something is present in your body that shouldn’t be there. The truth is that you have LOST something you need in order to be healthy and happy and to fully express life! You have lost the connection/ communication between your brain and body. If there is interference in this nerve communication pathway, your body won’t function normally and this leads to pain and/or symptoms. When we adjust you, we realign the spine, get the pressure off the nervous system, and restore the communication pathway between your brain and your body. When this happens, people tend to have less pain, less symptoms, and better health overall. Why would you want to wait until you are in pain to get adjusted? We never want you to go into pain or have symptoms, so we encourage our practice members to get checked even when they’re not in pain. This way we can PREVENT you from having pain or symptoms. Besides, when you get adjusted, it makes you more able to do the things you want to do anyways. When we align the spine, the muscles, organs and tissues in your body all work better, allowing you to get more out of any activity you are doing.
The correct thing to do is not to wait until you have encountered something that messes you up, but to instead make sure your nerve system is clear before, during and after every activity. Maximize your expression of life energy with a positive focus, lifestyle, and by getting checked every week or two by your chiropractor. And, if you know you will be, are, or have been exposed to more challenges than usual, get checked again! That way you will continually GROW in every way! It has been said that good things come to those who wait - I beg to differ! What are YOU waiting for?
