Dear Patient and Friend,
In these modern times, the entire world seems to be more and more dependent on drugs. Drugs in war and drugs in peace, drugs to kill insects, drugs to wake you up and drugs to make you sleepy, drugs to speed you up and drugs to slow you down, drugs to relieve pain, drugs for every phase of life, young and old alike. Does this make any sense to you? It makes no sense to me!
More and more, the medical profession is questioning the misuse and overuse of prescribed drugs and are showing serious concern about the side effects of these drugs as well as the potential risk of addiction to them. We can't listen to the radio, watch television or read a magazine advertisement without being alarmed by excessive urging for us to take drugs or give them to our children for every type of disorder. Take a moment and notice just how this advertising directly affects you and your family. Look in your medicine cabinet at home or your purse and your desk drawer at work. What form of medication do you rely upon? Is it any wonder people suffer needlessly from stress, nervous tension, digestive disorders, headaches and chronic pain? I ask you to STOP and research how you can escape from this medicine trap.
Doctors of Chiropractic do not prescribe drugs. For over 114 years, chiropractors have empowered people to understand that every function of the body is controlled and directed through the nerve system. Health comes from within. When the nerve system is clear of any interference and the communication from the brain to organs and tissues is 100%, the function of the body will be normal, and normal function brings health.
Doctors of Chiropractic focus on the significance of the spinal column as the key to health. The spinal column is the strength and serves as support for the body. It connects the larger bones and the attachment of major muscles. And most important, the spinal column houses the spinal cord and contains openings between the vertebrae for nerves to exit and provide direct communication between the brain and the body. Thus, the spine is the master control center for the entire nerve system and the key to health!
During our busy everyday lives we experience different forms of stress such as physical stress (accidents, falls, lifting heavy objects, etc.), emotional stress (children, work, divorce, etc.), and chemical stress (processed foods, drugs, pollution, etc.) These forms of stress can cause misalignment of the spinal bones resulting in interruption of nerve flow and proper communication from the brain to the rest of the body. This is called a vertebral subluxation and results in diminished body function, lowered immune resistance and ultimately dis-eases.
Chiropractic care is a health care approach based upon the body's natural ability to heal itself and is a very important step in a commitment to optimal health. Optimal health is one of our most valuable possessions. We should value ourselves enough to strive for the highest level of health. When we take responsibility for the choices we make regarding health, we give ourselves the best opportunity to achieve all of our health goals. Chiropractic care can help give us the natural health we deserve when we commit to learning more about our body and take all of the necessary steps to stay well.
Easy Steps to a Long and Vital Life …
Minimize The Stress … Before adding more things to our lives we must give thought to shedding some of the workload. Stress is a killer of life and vitality. Find ways to minimize it, whether through relaxation techniques, changing jobs or playing more.
Feed The Mind And Soul … Many psychological and social factors may either shorten or lengthen our lives. Getting enough sleep, having a sense of humor, developing a spiritual life, building long-term relationships with people, attending cultural events, and owning a pet have all been associated with extending life expectancy.
Don't Overindulge … Many times increased vitality can be felt immediately by reducing overindulgence in alcohol, caffeine beverages, junk food, candy and a heavy, high-fat diet.
Exercise The Body … For many people, exercising is not fun and it's hard to exercise consistently with a busy lifestyle. A fitness plan does not have to be elaborate to produce health benefits. Even a daily 30 minute walk has been shown to improve health.
Exercise The Brain … Staying mentally sharp is just as important as staying physically fit. Challenge the mind with new experiences, such as traveling, reading and being creative.
Eat A Natural Diet With Plenty Of Fruits And Vegetables … Fresh foods contain higher levels of vitamins than do processed foods.
Have A Purpose In Life … Long-lived individuals often feel they have a mission or special purpose in life. Never stop learning, working or finding new causes to promote.
Maximize Nerve System Function … Be sure the life and vitality flowing from the brain through the spinal column and nerve system are free of interference. Clear the way through chiropractic for the messages necessary for all organs, tissues, immune and other systems to work properly. Maximum nerve system function helps integrate other important health factors including proper rest, exercise, a nutritious diet and a good mental attitude.
