13
Reasons to get Your Spine Checked on a Regular Basis!
by Joe Strauss, D.C., F.C.S.C.
1. More Energy
The vital energy that runs your body comes form
the brain, travels over the nerves and gives vitality and vigor to your
body. Logic says that if that energy is interfered with, your body will not
work at its fullest potential.
2. Clearer Thinking, Concentration and
Memory.
Did you ever have a day when your mind was extra
sharp, thoughts and ideas came quickly or your memory was especially good?
Ever have just the opposite type of day? Well, your body chemistry
determines to a great extent your ability to think, concentrate and
remember. Body chemistry is controlled by your nerve system and your nerve
system works better without any interference (vertebral
subluxation)
3. Less Stress
How can getting adjusted make your job easier or
cause your kids to give you less problems? Well, it cannot. But there is a
difference between adversity and stress. Adversities are the circumstances
of life. You cannot change them.
Stress is the
inability to handle those adversities. How well your body is working will
determine to some degree how much adversity you can handle and how much
stress you have in your life.
4. A Longer Life.
Here is a reason based on logic. All things being
equal, you will live longer if you take care of yourself, barring any
unforeseen trauma, of course. Taking care of yourself, in no small measure,
means keeping your nerve system free of interference due to vertebral
subluxations.
5. More Sleep
All sleep is not the same. Just because you get
ten hours does not mean you are getting the kind of rest you need. At
different time, we have all awakened refreshed, sluggish, or tired from the
same amount of sleep. How well your body is working will determine how much
of your sleep is real sleep and not just "down time"
6. Greater Value from Your Exercise.
We all need to exercise regularly. Some of us do
not have the energy to get up off the couch and begin a workout, although
that is an issue we have already addressed. Some of us have an interference
in the nerve system that keeps the muscles of our body from receiving a full
complement of vital life energy. It is like trying to exercise a paralyzed
muscle. There is not enough energy going to those muscles. That is what
happens when there is interference in the nerve system due to a vertebral
subluxation.
7. More Balanced Chemistry.
The proper balance of your body's chemistry is
unique for you. Only the innate wisdom of your body knows exactly what is
should be. People can only guess. The organs, glands and cells of the body
must be working properly to produce just the right amounts at just the right
time. Your nerve system is critical in the coordination of that function.
8. More Hour in Your Day.
How can you get more than 24 hours a day from
chiropractic visits, especially when the visit is going to take at least a
little time? Well, time-management experts will tell you that it is the
efficient use of your time, not the total number of hours that is the
issue. If your mind and body are working as well as they possibly can, you
will be more efficient and more than make up for the time it takes to visit
your chiropractor.
9. Increased Income Earning Capacity
If you had more energy, clearer thinking, a better
ability to handle adversity, more alertness, and were more efficient and
physically, mentally and emotionally functioning at a higher level, you work
more, work harder, get a better job or possibly a promotion, or even start a
business of your own.
10. Improved Relationships.
Why is it that some people seem to be able to get
along with people that you cannot stand? Perhaps it is you. If you were
functioning at a higher level, if your body chemistry was balance, perhaps
you could handle them better and not be bothered by whatever it is about
them that affects your relationship. Even better, get them to a
chiropractor and you could, perhaps, become best of friends!
11. Improved Performance.
With an improved nerve supply, all your
performance levels will be elevated. Whether that improvement is enough to
make a difference is an individual matter. As the advertisement says,
"Results may vary." However, getting adjusted and doing some other healthy
things will have a cumulative effect and result in noticeable changes. It
just makes sense to do everything possible to improve performance, including
having a good nerve supply.
12. Better Digestion
There are probably hundreds of reasons why certain
foods affect certain people. Most times, the cause can be traced back to
the inability of the body to handle that food. If it was the food, then it
would negatively affect everyone. There are many reasons why your body, in
general, and your nerve system, in particular, may not work properly. One
of those reasons, an interference in the nerve system due to vertebral
subluxation, can be addressed by regular visits to the chiropractor.
13. Enjoy Life More.
The bottom line is to have a happier and more
fulfilled life. If you see improvement in the areas above, your life has to
be more enjoyable. Even some of the things you do not enjoy now could
become more pleasurable and rewarding. Visit your chiropractor this week!
Getting adjusted regularly just makes sense!
