“The Packers never lost a game… we just ran out of time.” – Vince Lombardi. Coach Lombardi’s quote sums up his unwavering belief in his team’s ability to win every game, if given enough time to execute their winning game plan. Chiropractors hold a similar, unwavering belief in your body’s innate ability to heal!

The 6^th Principle in Chiropractic states “there is no process which does not require time,” including the healing process. BJ Palmer (the developer of Chiropractic) believed that given enough time and a clear nerve system the body could heal itself in just about any situation! In his mind, the innate wisdom of the body had the potential to win any healing game if just given a chance. This is the foundation of all successful Chiropractic experiences!

Fortune tellers read the life line in the palm of a client’s hand. Cardiologist interpret the blipping life lines of a patient’s EKG. But Chiropractors dedicate their work to the most important life line of them all… the spinal cord and its protective covering, the spine!

The spine itself is an engineering marvel. Made up of articulating bones called vertebrae, each segment lines up perfectly with the next to provide both support to your body and protection to the spinal cord. It’s this critical relationship between spinal alignment and the flow of life through the spinal cord that Chiropractors are devoted to! Distort the alignment of the spine and you distort the flow of life through the cord. Distort the flow of life through the cord and you distort the expression of health in your body!

For a Chiropractor, smooth lateral curves and plumb postures are more than just simple diagnostic findings. They’re the validation that life is flowing freely through the patient like a river. And as long as life courses through the line, healing is sure to follow!

If you ever thought about canceling your appointment because you were sick and didn’t want to spread your germs to everyone in the office, think again. It’s actually the BEST time to come in!

The field of neuro-immunology has well established the connection between a healthy nerve system and normal immune function. Chiropractic adjustments boost your ability to fight off colds and flus by unlocking your spine, clearing nerve tension and unleashing your immune POTENTIAL! And doesn’t it make sense to keep your immune system working its best so you can get better faster?

You wouldn’t cancel a dental appointment because your tooth hurt. Likewise, don’t cancel your Chiropractic appointment when your nerve system is fighting to get well. Even if you’re under the weather, try not to miss adjustments… and don’t worry about the other folks in the office getting sick – everyone here will be adjusted, protected and ready to serve you!

In today’s fast paced world, “instant” trumps process. Drive through windows and quick fixes are prized in cultures where instant gratification rules supreme. Unfortunately, these principles don’t work so well when it comes to your health!

It takes time for a good diet to reflect on your weight… time for exercise to improve the tone and strength to your muscles… and of course, it takes time for your chiropractic adjustments to create the positive restorative effects in your nerve system. Most everything that is good for you takes time to complete.

Don’t let the convenience of your local pharmacy, fast food or savings bank drive through lull you into complacency. “Quick” rarely fixes anything. Health favors the patient who has patience in the process. Make a plan to be more consistent your chiropractic care in the New Year!
