The shear simplicity of the basic concepts of Chiropractic seem to get over complicated. This seems to make people say things like "Well... I never needed a Chiropractor" and "I feel fine. Why would I go?"
That thing resting on your shoulders is home to an amazing machine... your brain. It is doing everything it can to send and receive messages to and from your body every second of the day. It is what controls your heart, blood pressure, immune system, erectile function, menstrual cycle, digestion, ability to breathe... Everything!
Q: "I never needed a Chiropractor" -
Is similar to saying "I never needed to update my internet security" or "My car works fine with the 'check engine' light on."
Does the sedentary desk jockey feel pain related to blood pressure? Why is my child always sick? How many pills do we need for erectile dysfunction before we understand lack of function is not the result of low Viagra? Could gut problems improve if better fuel was put into it? And then there's asthma. Look, breathing is controlled neurologically in large part by the brain stem and mechanically dependent on thoracic spine, muscles, ribs and diaphragm. That's Chiropractic!
A: Of course you need a Chiropractor
Seeing a Chiropractor once a month keeps your system running smoothly by maintaining nerve function. Symptoms of gut problems, poor immune, sexual dysfunction and asthma ARE Chiropractic concerns.
Q: Why would I go? I feel fine."
People take vitamins when they feel OK to stay well. You probably brush your teeth even though
there are no cavities. People change the oil in their car without blue smoke pouring out of the exhaust. This is not rocket science here. Having a professional monitor and direct small changes can save your life. Isn't that worth $60 a month?
I have to understand not everyone will accept this truth. I hope you do!
