Taking A Break

"Doc, I'm Feeling Good, I'm Taking a Break From Chiropractic Care For A While."

This is a phrase I hear occasionally as a patient's symptoms have subsided. It's great to give people relief from pain and inconvenient circumstances. If you find yourself thinking this, let me take this opportunity to change your perspective. As a chiropractor, it is my responsibility to broaden your understanding of the benefits of regular, consistent chiropractic care. 

Chiropractors work with the spine, but most importantly we can improve how well your nervous system works. Your nervous system connects the mind to the body by being the relay system for the intelligent messages between the two. The spine can be a great help or it can hinder how well the connection is made. If that communication is off because the spine is out of balance, it is not something you might notice right away. 

Most of your nervous system, about 89%, has nothing to do with reporting back to you about pain or symptoms. These parts run some pretty important things like your organs, immune system and muscles. Only a small portion, around 11%, provides you with sensory information (pain, tightness, tingling etc.) from these areas. So to judge your overall health and performance by how you feel can’t be accurate based solely on symptoms. 

By keeping the spine balanced, there is less tension on the nervous system. This gives you the opportunity to do everything you do better. It is like that BASF commercial, but it would go something like this, "We don't make the body, we make the body perform better." How long would you like to be well connected and have the opportunity to be your best? Forever, I hope. 

You can choose chiropractic as a treatment of pain and symptoms or you can use it as part of a healthy lifestyle. If you eat well, exercise or drink adequate amounts of water to be healthy, when do you stop doing those things? Do you say to yourself once you get in shape, "I'm feeling pretty good since I have been exercising and eating well, I think I will stop so I can be unhealthy again?" Consider chiropractic care in the same context. There is only one way to coast when it comes to your health and that is downhill.
