I wish I could say that this was the last time I was going to say this, but I know I'll be saying it for the rest of my chiropractic career. IT'S NOT ABOUT YOUR PAIN! Our purpose as chiropractors is NOT to help you feel/experience less pain. If that is all you want, then may I suggest an aspirin?
The purpose of chiropractic is to help you to experience your FULL health potential. To help you experience more LIFE. To allow you and your family the opportunity to tap into the limitless energy, wisdom, and intelligence that you already possess. Did you know that the intelligence that created and formed you from two cells and directed your development from nothing more than a blob of 64 cells to who you are today still resides in you? That power didn't leave you the minute you were born. It's still there, waiting to be unleashed again to perform feats and miracles in your life. Did you ever sit back and watch a newborn baby learn to roll over? How did it know what to do? Did somebody teach it to roll over? Did somebody give it a supplement, pill or therapy to get it to roll over? NO! That baby's inner (innate, inborn) intelligence already knew how to do it. When the time was right and all the proper muscles were developed, the baby rolled over. Not before, and not after that baby was ready. The principle applies to learning to walk, or talk, or any of the other developmental milestones.
So, why babies and children acquire new skills and learn to do things almost automatically and we, as grown ups, are stuck with pain, headaches, backaches, poor digestion, you name it? Well, the simple answer is that that baby or child is living more By Design than most grown ups. Their little life is less cluttered, they have less toxic build up in their bodies, they have been exposed to fewer mental, emotional, chemical and physical stresses. In short, they are connected to their innate intelligence at a more basic level and they have fewer interferences getting in the way of that connection. It is easier for a child/baby to express their full health potential.
However, as we age and live our lives, we encounter multiple chemical, physical, and mental stresses every single day that cause us to partially lose our connection with our innate intelligence. We have more and more opportunities to create interferences in our lives that prevent us from reaching our full potential. Thus, we experience aches, pain, distracted thought, asthma, indigestion,...and on and on....
The purpose of the chiropractic adjustment is to remove some of the interferences that we have created in our bodies that are blocking the full expression of life. The purpose of Life By Design is to remove some of the interferences that we have created in our behavior that are blocking the full expression of life. So, whether you continue to feel pain or not is not our concern. We are more concerned with helping you to change your behaviors (Eat By Design, Move By Design and Think By Design) while we remove the interferences in your nerve system (Brain-Body Connection) so that you can experience the fullest amount of LIFE.
