What does the world look like through Chiropractic colored glasses? Does your health
shine brighter… are your relationships with friends and family more in focus… is your job
performance sharper and crisper?
You ’see’ everything through your nerve system – how you feel, how you interact with
the people around you, how you perform at home or at work. When your nerves are
stressed, the line between barely existing and fully living is blurred. However, the more
clear your nerve system, the better your ability to interact physically, mentally and spiritually
with the world around you; and ultimately the better your quality of Life.
When a Chiropractor adjusts the stress from your nerve system, it’s like cleaning the
dirt, streaks and smudges from the lens through which you interpret your world – and
with a clear lens you can see all your potential. Life is vibrant when you’re viewing it
through Chiropractic glasses.

Have you ever had to restart your PC after the hard drive froze?  You hit ‘Control+Alt+Delete’ to reboot the operating system and get everything running smoothly again.  Your human computer (Nerve System) needs a periodic rebooting too.

Your Nerve System gets overwhelmed from daily stress.  An urgent work deadline, unexpected family crisis or any inconvenient change in your routine are unsolicited stresses (spyware or a virus) that bog down your nerves.  The result – your body slows down, runs sluggish and eventually “freezes up” with an illness.  Getting a Chiropractic adjustment is like hitting the Control+Alt+Delete buttons.  It clears your Nerve System of unwanted stress and gets you running fast again.

The stress our grandparents experienced in a week, today we get in just 24 hours!  If you’re not purging the tension from your Nerve System on a regular basis, your hard drive could crash.  Get ‘rebooted’ routinely with Chiropractic care and stay ahead of the failure.

Ever feel ‘wound up’ from the stresses of life? You feel tight and distorted, like a rubber band that’s been twisted to the brink of snapping? That tension you’re feeling isn’t in your
head… it’s actually in your Nerve System.
The constant, never ending stress of life builds tension in your nerves like an over twisted
rubber band that robs you of experiencing the fullness of Life. Chiropractors refer to this
state as being ‘Subluxated.’ If you don’t regularly purge this tension from your nerves, it
builds silently until a physical or emotional crisis manifests. The solution… release the tension
with preventative Chiropractic care, and get control of your Life again!
Chiropractic care gently removes stress from your spine and spinal cord before a critical
failure can occur. This is one ‘rubber band’ you need to keep clear! Unwind your stress with
regular Chiropractic adjustments and start experiencing the tension free Life you were born to
have.

When you turn your neck or twist your back does your spine snap, grind and ratchet like a
bicycle chain stuck in mid gear? That grating noise could mean something’s out of alignment.
Your spine is made up of movable bones called vertebrae, each joined perfectly together like
the links of a bicycle chain. If one or more of these joints become stuck and misaligned it can
slowly wreak havoc on the mechanical integrity of your entire spine. The result – pain, stiffness
and premature arthritic changes.
Don’t neglect the noises. Abnormal grinding (crepitus) of spinal joints may indicate early
degenerative joint disease. Remember, unlike a bicycle chain, you can’t replace spinal ‘links’
when they get damaged. Get your spine tuned up by a Chiropractor who is thoroughly trained
in restoring the normal mechanics of your spine, and protect yourself from premature wear
and tear.

The object of the carnival game Whack-a-Mole is to use a mallet to hit as many critters as possible
when they pop up in random succession. Trouble is, as you hit one mole, three more pop up and disappear
before you can nail them all. Whack-a-Mole is a perfect metaphor for how people are medicated
today. Unfortunately in this game you end up on a ton of drugs, for a bunch of problems, with no actual
improvement in your health.
According to a NCHS Data brief by the CDC, over the last 10 years the percentage of Americans who
took at least one prescription drug in the past month increased from 44% to 48%. The use of two or
more drugs increased from 25% to 31%. The use of five or more drugs increased from 6% to 11%. Yet
despite taking all these drugs, the US embarrassingly ranks 37th among the world’s industrial countries
when it comes overall health.
For Chiropractors, health is not defined by how many symptoms you can temporarily ‘whack away’
with drugs, but how well your body can adapt to its environment and heal under its own innate abilities.
You have more healing intelligence in your little finger than all the doctors and pharmacies in the world
put together. Big Pharma doesn’t believe so, but Chiropractors do. Keep your Nerve System clear and
you won’t have to play their failing game.

American TV personality and psychologist Dr. Phil doesn’t hold punches when it comes to advising his guests on living a more balanced, principled life.  So it should come as no surprise how he feels about Chiropractic.

On a recent show with personal Chiropractor and author Dr. Fabrizio Mancini, Dr. Phil touts the benefits he’s experienced from regular care.   “I’ve been seeing a Chiropractor a couple times a week for the past 10 years…” And you can bet it wasn’t for a bad back.  Dr. Phil knows Chiropractic care goes beyond helping aches and pains.  It transforms your entire health and LIFE for the better – exactly what his show is all about.

If you’re frustrated with your current level of health, maybe it’s time to get real with a new paradigm shift.  As Dr. Fab says, “we are all born with a natural ability to heal.” Chiropractic care simply brings it out.  And if it’s good for Dr. Phil, it could be good for you too!
