On a Scale of 1-10, How Important Is Your Health To You?

When asked, most people respond that their health is very important to them. 

When pressed for a number, the answer is almost always a 7 or higher.  How about you?  How would you rate the importance you have placed on your health up until now?

Now remember, most people come to our office for the first time with a health problem or concern that is, unfortunately, usually…minimally, chronic.  This means that their health has had to have been deteriorating for a while before consulting us.  Well, here are the attributes of the different levels of health priority:

1- Addicted-continuously looks for and adds self-destructive choices.

2- Binges-makes occasional destructive lifestyle decisions-is in denial.

3- Unconscious-doesn’t know a healthy choice from an unhealthy one.

4- Tolerates poor health – “maybe it will go away” – “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

5- Seeks treatment only when they have a problem.

6- Open to prevention of future health problems.

7- Makes effort to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

8- Consciously works at being healthy-makes healthy choices.

9- Occasionally looking for and adding constructive healthy lifestyle changes.

10- Continuously looking for and adding constructive healthy lifestyle changes.

It’s easy to see that for a health problem to become chronic, the importance placed on personal health could not have been higher than a 4 prior to consulting us.  Starting care requires bringing your priority up to at least a 5.  Unfortunately, what causes most people to raise the priority they place on their health is a serious health problem that doesn’t go away with their own approaches to correct the condition.

It should also be obvious that it order for one’s health to actually improve, the priority placed upon it must also be higher.  So, the question for today is, “if I started living like a 7 instead of a 4 and the problems caused by me living like a 4 were not permanent, are they likely to go away?  The answer…of course!

Which can you change, your health history or your health future?

When you entered our office we asked you to complete a health history form. The fact is that the health decisions you made last year or five (5) years ago contributed to your health or the lack of it today. We can’t go back and change your decisions of years gone by.

Honestly ask yourself, are you as healthy today as you were five (5) years ago? Will you be healthier five (5) years from now than you are today? Creating health is not an event, it is a process. The lifestyle changes you make today will contribute to your health in the future. Even though we can’t change the health decisions you made five (5) years ago, with your commitment, we can assist you in being healthier years from now. The continual process of lifestyle behavior change that leads to optimal health is known as Wellness. It is possible for you to create better health consistently year after year, it’s your choice. My wish is for you to live your life to its fullest and improve the quality of your life by creating Wellness naturally.

THE CAUSE

Your central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) is responsible for sending messages to every cell, tissue, organ and system in your body. This communication is made possible by your spinal neurological network. This vast communication network is in charge of virtually every function in your body and determines whether you enjoy good health or disease. The central nervous system is so important that nature built armor around it, your skull and spinal column. However, even with this inborn protection our nervous system can experience

interference, injury or disturbance. We call this a Subluxation.

Your examinations have determined that you have one or multiple subluxations that exist in your spinal neurological network. This could potentially be a very serious threat to your continued overall health and well-being. What caused my subluxations? There are three commonly recognized causes of subluxations, physical trauma, chemical toxins and emotional stress.

 

Physical trauma is what most patients blame for their subluxations. “I slept wrong.” “I lifted something heavy.” There are many causes of physical stress to our bodies throughout our life from being born, learning how to walk, learning how to ride a bike, slips and falls, car accidents, sports injuries, hobbies and work injuries. There are multiple of physical causes that may be responsible for our subluxations that have accumulated over our lifetime.

Chemical toxins are often overlooked as a cause of our subluxations. Chemicals are a direct poison to our nervous system. Chemicals can interfere with or disturb with the functions of our nervous system just as easy as a trauma. What many of us don’t realize is just how many chemical toxins we expose ourselves to on a daily basis. List includes: food dyes, sweeteners,   preservatives, chemicals in our air and water, hormones in the meats, processed foods, caffeine, nicotine, prescriptions and over the counter drugs, cleaning chemicals, perfumes, hair spray, detergents...the list goes on and on. We are a chemical dependant society and these chemicals poison our nervous system resulting in subluxations everyday.

Mental and emotional stress is the most common cause of subluxations in the world today. Our nervous system filters and processes stress on a moment to moment basis. When our nervous system is overwhelmed by the constant or chronic stress that we endure on a daily basis it breaks down resulting in chronic subluxations. When we are worried, fearful or stressed, when we experience relationship, money or job problems, when life just doesn’t seem to go our way it takes its toll on our nervous system. Stress is inescapable in our society and a frequent subluxation producer.

During your Path-To-Wellness care plan our goal is to remove your subluxations, optimize your health and provide you with real life strategies to eliminate or reduce your physical, chemical and emotional stressors to provide you with lasting results and lasting health.

Are You Subluxated?

Subluxations...

...if left uncorrected have devastating effects on our health!

We learned with the first component of the chiropractic paradigm that the body is a self healing organism. In the next component, we discovered that our nervous system is what is responsible for the function of every cell, tissue and organ in our body. In the third component of the chiropractic paradigm, we find that subluxations damage the ability of our nervous system to communicate properly. The fourth component teaches us that the interference to the nervous system from subluxations is devastating to our health potential, even life

threatening.

The nervous system, when interfered with, begins a progressive downward spiral regarding our health and well-being. When our nervous system is subluxated it no longer has the ability to respond appropriately to the environmental stresses we place upon our body. Subluxations may lessen our body’s ability to perform at every level: our immune system may be hampered, our emotional stability becomes fragile, our mental clarity may be cloudy, our organs may not function properly, and sometimes even fail, our strength and coordination becomes weak and clumsy, and even our genetic expression may be damaged. If this isn’t bad enough, subluxations continue to worsen over time as our body slowly deteriorates.

Recent studies confirm our worst fears about subluxations.

Subluxations have become the known as the “silent killer” because of how they destroy our health often without symptoms. Every man, woman and child should be checked for subluxations and possible nerve interference! When was the last time you and your family were checked for subluxations?
