Health and wellness are subjects that many of us consider every day but that all of us should consider all day long. Both children and adults should be aware of their choices and the effect those choice will have on wellness. Getting kids started learning about wellness at a young age means the difference between enjoying good health or risking true misery in their adult years. Our role at Body Focus is to facilitate this learning with our very young chiropractic patients.
Countless people visit chiropractors when they have back or neck problems. If these same people don't learn about the total health benefits of chiropractic, they are losing out on so much potential to live a life of glowing health…and painfree as well. We aim to educate while we provide care so that people can learn about living well and how to reap the rewards.
There are so many aspects of our lives to consider when we tackle the topic of wellness. How we sleep, what and when we eat, how our thoughts effect us, our posture, medications we take, our exposure to pollution, our occupation, and the list goes on and on. So why do I mention this? Well we want to take these different contributors into account in determining how well someone is doing and what changes are necessary BUT, there is one unquestionable truth that is the whole reason a great chiropractor is important for everyone: everything your body does is controlled by your nervous system. That means your body's ability to deal with pollution, to get a restful sleep, to get nutrients from your diet, and every single other event that happens with your body is controlled by the nervous system. Only a chiropractor is trained to detect pressure on the nervous system that blocks it from doing its job completely and accurately. And only a chiropractor is trained and licensed to safely correct the problem resulting in that blockage. The point? You can't know if you have nervous system pressure because it usually does not cause pain or other symptoms. If you DO have any, than something or many things in your body are not functioning the way they need to. It is then impossible to have real wellness. We can be fooled by "feeling fine" into thinking we have total wellness but as I said, nervous system pressure and blockage usually doesn't cause any pain or symptoms so we don't know it exists.
If you begin saving money today at your current age, and your children start saving the same amount right now as well, who will have more when they turn 70? If you start working with an expert today on your health and so did your children, who is more likely to have greater wellness when they turn 70? Hmm. Please bring your children for a chiropractic check-up and find out if all is well or you need to start working on some changes. You can't put these things off and expect the same result as if you act right away.
Wishing you and your family the greatest of health. We would be honored to work with you on achieving that. -Harris Meyer, DC
