Pain may hurt, but stress can kill you! Our society enjoys
and relies on instant gratification. If
you want to know the latest news you can click a few buttons on your smart phone. If you want “food” you can pop it
in the microwave. If you are in pain, you can take a pill. This is all symptom
control and never addresses the root of the issue It limits us from
experiencing other cultures for ourselves, eating real food, and from listening
to the intuition that the body is constantly offering but we more frequently
ignore.
Similar to taking pain killers, just receiving chiropractic adjustments
when you are experiencing pain is not an equation for lifelong health. Yes, you
will most likely feel better and have little to no pain however, if you do not
address your lifestyle, you will continue along the path of crisis intervention
instead of achieving health independence. Regular chiropractic care is part of
the path to independence, because health is a process not an event!
It is time to look at pain and other symptoms as warning signals
from the body, not something to be covered up. These signals should be listened
to, they begin in whispers but if ignored long enough the body will scream at
you by manifesting disease states. Since we cannot selectively numb feelings,
emotions, or symptoms when we take pills we are turning down that important
inner voice. This is dangerous because we need to listen to the body and make
changes, get adjusted, in order to truly heal.
I encourage you to think of symptoms in a new way, not as something
negative, but as your body having an important conversation with you regarding
your own state of health. The body is very intelligent and it is time we quiet
the mind, and spend time thinking about what our body is communicating.
Chiropractic adjustments allow for proper nervous system communication because the
brain and body which allows us to really listen in on the conversation our body
is constantly trying to communicate. Get your spine checked regularly and listen when the
body whispers to you!
