Did You Know?

Mental Attitude: When Stress Levels Get Too High. Too much stress can negatively affect the immune system, cardiovascular system, neuroendocrine system, and central nervous system. Untreated chronic (long-term) stress can lead to muscle pain, insomnia, hypertension (high blood pressure), a weaker immune system and anxiety, which can lead to dozens of illnesses, including heart disease, depression, and obesity.
American Psychological Assoc, February 2013

People now generally accept that stress is the cause of over 80% of all the diseases that afflict us, but how does that happen? Stress is the #1 cause of subluxation, which leads to body dysfunction and ultimately disease. Emotional stress accounts for 80% of that. People have a pretty easy time seeing how physical stress like overexertion, awkward postures, repetitive strain, or a physical injury/trauma can subluxate you but have a harder time imagining how emotional stress can do it. It’s because a big part of your body’s reaction to emotional stress involves significant changes in the way we recruit muscles that create a defensive posture. That altered body alignment and tension is what subluxates us.

The Chiropractic meaning of life!

There is a distinct Chiropractic view of health, that health is much more than just how you feel, it’s how you function and express yourself. Health is a state in which your body can express: 100% of your human potential, 100% of your human spirit, and where your cells, tissues, organs, and systems are functioning 100%, 100% of the time.

There is an inborn intelligence in all living things that naturally gives us our instincts and information to survive, thrive, and adapt in this ever-changing world. It’s the expression of this inborn intelligence through our nerve system that allows our body to perform at 100%. This is the Chiropractic meaning of life.

Your life is an expression of this intelligence through your body. The quality of your life is indeed directly proportional to the ability of your nervous system to express this intelligence through your body without interference to this process.

How well is your nervous system performing? Wellness Chiropractic removes interference and disturbances in the nervous system, allowing you to express yourself to your fullest potential.

Wellness Chiropractic has always been and always will be about restoring health and wellness to the body, not treating back and neck pain. Wellness Chiropractic is a lifestyle that creates well-being, improves your quality of living, and improves your performance at every level. Have your family checked for interference to their nervous system today.

We have already defined Universal Intelligence as the organizing principle that holds our universe together. Life is the expression of Universal Intelligence through Matter.

How is that possible? It is the purpose of Universal Intelligence to create Life Force. Life Force unites Intelligence with Matter. Life Force is expressed in your body as electrical signals carried throughout your nervous system.

Thus, Life is a union of 3 necessary factors: Universal Intelligence, Life Force and Matter. (Triune of Life) Universal Intelligence is always 100% or the order in our universe would collapse. Universal Intelligence always creates 100% Life Force. In other words, the producer knows how much needs to be in the product.

Where does this triune break down and become less than perfect? For perfection of this triune there must be 100% Intelligence, 100% Life Force and 100% Matter. First, what if there is less than 100% matter? A body may be missing an arm or a leg, or maybe an organ has been removed from a surgery. This would hinder the expression of intelligence. Secondly, there can be a breakdown between Life Force and Matter, creating a situation where the delivery of Life Force to Matter is less than 100%. Like interrupting a circuit or closing a road, subluxation can interfere with the transmission of Life Force to Matter. A subluxation is an interference to the expression of the organizing force of the universe through you. The subluxation separates the producer from the product. There is a disconnection. That is why subluxations have devastating effects on life and health. The chiropractic adjustment removes interference to the transmission of Life Force, reuniting Universal Intelligence with Matter (your body).  Is your body expressing 100% life? How would you know?

How to receive a great ADJUSTMENT!

Follow these simple steps:

1. Your adjusting time is your healing time; turn your awareness internally to your body and let go of the outside pressures of home, work, and life.

2. Develop a Wellness Chiropractic Lifestyle. We encourage you to participate in the learning experience in our open adjusting suite. This is your opportunity to receive more value with every visit as you interact in a wellness discussion. Participation is optional; if you choose not to participate, please be courteous to others by turning off cell phones, talking quietly, and keeping children respectful of others.

3. Please lay face down as soon as an adjusting table is available. Relax, consciously clear your mind and body, letting go of any stress pent up within. Develop calmness as you prepare your body for the adjustment.

4. Neurosurgery without a scalpel. There is incredible power with every adjustment. Focus your mind’s eye internally on your energy being released and your life force being restored, thus empowering your adjustment. See and feel the nerve impulses and energies being released to your organs, tissues, and every cell in your body. See yourself as a well-orchestrated symphony of trillions of cells beautifully conducted by your nervous system.

5. Allow yourself to heal. Know that you are completely capable of healing yourself and allow the magic of the life-force inside of you to nurture you.

6. Rather than automatically leaping up after your adjustment, take a few breaths and move purposely. You have the opportunity to live an abundant, vital, and inspired life with optimum performance at every level.

Why can’t symptoms be used as a barometer of health?

Thousands of Americans die of heart attacks each and every year and the heart attack is their first sign of disease. Statistically, in cases of fatal heart attacks, the fatal heart attack was the very first symptom in over 40% of the male population. Think about it… Have you ever had a friend who was feeling great, had a PAP smear, a mammogram or a chest x-ray and was given bad news several days later? Cancer doesn’t develop in just a few days and yet they were feeling good. Do you know someone who has diabetes? You know that as long as they are taking a proper quantity of insulin they have no symptoms and feel great. Meanwhile the disease continues to ravage their body over time producing circulatory problems, nerve system disorders, kidney damage, and eventually blindness.

You can’t wait until symptoms develop before you decide to maintain or regain health… it might be too late!

Which can you change?

Your health history or your health future?

When you entered our office we asked you to complete a health history form. The fact is that the health decisions you made last year or five (5) years ago contributed to your health or the lack of it today. We can’t go back and change your decisions of years gone by.

Honestly ask yourself, are you as healthy today as you were five (5) years ago? Will you be healthier five (5) years from now than you are today? Creating health is not an event, it is a process. The lifestyle changes you make today will contribute to your health in the future. Even though we can’t change the health decisions you made five (5) years ago, with your commitment, we can assist you in being healthier years from now. The continual process of lifestyle behavior change that leads to optimal health is known as Wellness. It is possible for you to create better health consistently year after year, it’s your choice. My wish is for you to live your life to its fullest and improve the quality of your life by creating Wellness naturally.

How would you define Good Health?

There is a greater dimension to health than just feeling good. Many people answer this question, “good health is feeling good”. This is nice, but it has very little to do with having good health.

What is Health? There is so much more to being healthy than how you feel! The World Health Organization defines health as: Health is a state of optimal physical, mental, and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Webster’s defines health as: Health is a state of wholeness in which all organs are functioning 100%, 100% of the time. Health is not just how you feel; it’s how you are functioning. Thousands of Americans die of heart attacks each and every year and the heart attack is the first sign of disease. You can’t wait until symptoms show up before you decide to act.

Symptoms are a poor barometer of health and usually show up late in the disease process. Would you rather choose a lifestyle of wellness so your body functions at an optimal level or live the typical American lifestyle and unknowingly allow various diseases to progress to a level of crisis before you seek action?

Where does health come from? Health comes from within. Your body has the inborn ability to heal itself naturally. You were born to be healthy. The catch is, in order for your body to be able to heal itself it must be free from interference in the nervous system. The nervous system controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ, and system in your body. The number one cause of interference to the nerve system in science today is the vertebral subluxation.

Creating Wellness! Wellness is the process of attaining health, happiness, and vitality, allowing you to live your life to its fullest potential. My wish for you is to live your life to its fullest and improve the quality of your life by creating wellness naturally.
