Welcoming in 2010

As we all ring in the New Year questions should come to mind.  What goals to I have for: my health? my family's health? my well being? what new things will I do? how much money do I want to make? .... 

what things are important for life?

As a Chiropractor, I take care of infants (minutes old) to senior citizens  (close to 100yo).  I am fortunate to see people that are healthy in all these age ranges and I also see people who are in their 20's-30's-and 40's who have the health of an ill 70yo.  Health doesn't deteriorate overnight... when your body is no longer to adapt to it's internal and external environments it breaks down (moving towards dis-ease and later disease). 

The interesting part of this that symptoms pop up near the end of the process.  For example when someone is diagnosed with cancer and is given 6 months or a year to live, do you think the cancer showed up then?  NO WAY... it was probably there for years and years growing and getting stronger.  We all have cancer in our body at all times... they are the abnormal cells. 

When our body can no longer adapt (because our body's nervous system is so stressed that it can't tell your immune system to kill those abnormal cells), the cancer cells start to multiply until the point that it takes over different organ systems not allowing us adapt to our environment...

I share this with you because I feel that our health care system is backwards.  We are trained to wait until bad things happen and symptoms show up to do something... then what do we do?  we opt for drugs (over the counter or prescription) or surgery to hide symptoms and not work on the cause.

Would you rather hide symptoms throughout life? or Focus on making your body stronger so you can live for longer healthier?

Chiropractic focuses on making your body stronger for longer!!! I bet you didn't know that.  It is based on finding interferences in your nervous system which are limiting your body's health potential... and yes it works with pain too, but that's about 10% of what we do. 

So when you are making your goals for this year.... whether you are 18 or 80 years old, if you have never experienced the true power of Chiropractic, schedule an appointment TODAY!!!  Life is better when it is free from interference.

Thanks for reading and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
