When people learn that I am a Chiropractor, whether it be at a dinner party, social event or chance meeting, they without fail ask me about their back pain or neck pain. When I explain that Chiropractic isn’t really about fixing your back pain or neck pain they are astounded! At this point I LOVE telling them what Chiropractic is about, as it is so much more than a fix for back and neck pain….
Chiropractic is based on the fact that each and every person is different, but in order for us to be our best self we need to be able to adapt to the demands of our life on our body. The system that allows us to adapt, co-ordinate and respond to the stresses in our life is the nervous system. Interference and dysfunction in the nervous system means that we are not able to adapt to the demands in our life and this results in less than optimal functioning of our bodies both physically and emotionally. It can mean we have difficulty adapting to work and relationship stress, have less strength, flexibility or aerobic capacity, slow post-workout recovery, poor sleep, low energy levels, bad posture, back or neck pain, headaches, bad moods… the list goes on!
If our nervous system isn’t functioning at its best it can change the way we even perceive the world! You see, every human experience is experienced through your nervous system….every thought, every feeling, every reaction, every response we have is actually a series of electrical impulses in our nervous system and so poor function of this system can affect our very own self, who we are!
Chiropractic is all about helping you be the best possible version of yourself that you can possibly be. By making sure your spine isn’t interfering with your master control system – your nervous system! So your body can adapt to the stresses in your life – everyday.
By this stage most people are hanging to ask me if I know a good Chiropractor in their area I can recommend because they have all of those things I just spoke about!
Help yourself be at your most brilliant… Get your spine checked!
