The Band-Aid

When you cut your finger, most of us will wash the area and put a Band-Aid on it. In a few days, things seem to heal up and you get on with your life. Did the Band-Aid tell the white blood cells to move to the area and prevent infection, the blood vessels to shunt healing properties and the skin to close up? No. The nervous system did all of it.


How many times have you cut yourself and didn't realize it until you see a drop of blood? How many times have you developed a bruise and had no idea when you banged the area? It happens all the time. The point here is basing our health on how we feel is simply not the best way to go. It's the same with Chiropractic.

If the nervous system is "out of whack," the body simply cannot function as well as it should. Maybe it shows as neck or back pain. Maybe it's headache. Maybe it's numbness or tingles in the extremities or bowel / bladder problems or a thousand other symptoms. 



Because Chiropractic helps the nervous system and since the nervous system controls it all, AND because we do not always feel when things go wrong , does it make sense to see the Chiropractor, especially when things do go wrong? 

When you're ready... We'll be here!
