Chiropractic: Upgrading Your “Computer”
Do you own a computer? Have you shopped for a computer lately? New computers are faster and have a lot more memory available than when you purchased yours. Your present model may now seem like a fancy calculator in comparison. Can you imagine a computer equipped with a hard drive that never runs out of disc space? How about having all your software programs run instantaneously? And how about this, it can learn from mistakes and evaluate its environment and adapt appropriately?
If you think I am referring to the brain (a hard drive) and nervous system (the processor) you are right. We have the most advanced and adaptable computer ever imagined within each of us. The capabilities of this brain and nervous system are endless. It performs millions of functions simultaneously. For example, it coordinates the transformation of the apple, carrot or cheeseburger you ate for lunch into living tissue. It does this with amazing speed. On average, the brain produces electrical energy in the form of nerve impulses at the rate of two to 50 impulses per second. But under certain circumstances, it can produce 2,000 impulses per second.
How can you ensure your hard drive and processor are working to their potential? In a computer you need to keep upgrading to keep it at its maximum potential. You can get by with what you have, but you know it could be better. Same principle applies to your own “computer.” We know external and internal stresses affect performance. We need to keep our “computer” updated to make sure the information going to and from the brain is clear and concise. This is where chiropractic excels.
Most of us have heard the phase “garbage in, garbage out.” This means that if you have bad information in the system you can only get less than stellar results. When your spine interferes with your nervous system due to some kind of stress, the same thing happens in yourself. You can’t work up to your potential. You can’t access all the capabilities of the brain because of a distorted perception of its environment. It’s like operating at the speed of a Commodore 64 computer (remember those) rather than the latest model. It dumbs you down.
You can continually upgrade your “computer” to keep you running at your maximum potential. Get your nervous system checked by a chiropractor for evidence of spinal interference. Give yourself the chance to be fully alive.
