Adjusting the Spine Helps Everything?

Outlandish! How can you believe such a thing? Chiropractic is for back and neck pain.

Skeptics often express such views. It's usually because they haven't understood the reasons and methods for utilizing chiropractic care to their advantage. The key to the 'why' lies in its ability to correct nerve interference, which affects everything. Consequently, various aspects such as sleep, digestion, focus, range of motion, and back pain may improve. The key to the "how" is to undergo regular check-ups. This ensures that your nerves function properly throughout most of your life. If your brain is frequently disconnected from your body, your body won't function well, leading to disease processes or "itis" type issues. Conversely, if your nerves function well for most of your life, you will be healthier. This is a fact.

Consider having a pebble in your shoe, causing discomfort while you're engaged in a conversation. Your attention wouldn't be fully on the person or the discussion. It's merely a pebble in your shoe. You definitely wouldn't attempt to run

with it there. It sends signals to the nervous system, hindering the muscles and joints from performing their usual range of motion and speed. Additionally, the pain would be a source of distraction.

A similar irritation to the nervous system occurs at the spine where nerves enter and exit. This pebble-like pressure on the nerve sends signals that disrupt normal communication, either increasing or decreasing them. Both scenarios are detrimental. Consequently, any organ or muscle connected to that nerve will not function properly.

Gradually, it harms the organ or muscle. When it loses sufficient normal function to the point where symptoms become severe enough for you to see a doctor, your set of symptoms will be given a name. It could be heartburn or GERD. It might be exercise-induced asthma. It could also be migraines or tension headaches. None of these conditions are normal and indicate that the body is not functioning correctly.

The solution isn’t found in antacids, inhalers, or Ibuprofen. The issue is not a lack of these medications in your system. Taking them won't address the underlying cause of the problem. They simply allow you to ignore the interference by dulling the signals that indicate to your brain that something is wrong. Eventually, this leads to more harm and makes it increasingly difficult to address the interference as weeks become months and then years. Have you ever wondered why it takes so much effort to start fixing problems? It’s because many of them have been present for 20, 30, or more years. This is why we suggest getting checked for interference regularly throughout your life. That way, things just work better throughout your life. 

We want you to live your best life. Live it vibrantly.
