I know what you’re thinking. “What the heck is this guy talking about? Clear thinking and chiropractic? You must be kidding! I thought chiropractors were about back pain and stuff like that.” And, there are lots of folks (including many chiropractors) that think the same thing.
Truth is that if you see a chiropractor just for your back pain, you’re really missing the boat and your chiropractor is cheating you out of the greatest benefit of what he/she has to offer you. And chances are they’re simply giving you what your insurance company is paying for, symptom relief. Sadly, many chiropractors (all kinds of doctors, actually) sell you lots of stuff you don’t need simply because your insurance company is paying for it. Sorry chiropractors. It’s just true.
Let me explain. Most chiropractors are trained to locate and correct a misalignment in the bones of the spine (vertebra) that is putting stress on a spinal nerve or the entire nervous system. Because the nervous system is the first system developed in your body and the one that runs everything else, if you have stress on it, your body AND your life is simply not going to work as well as it could. When that stress is reduced things work better.
Okay, I’ll get to my point. If you have stress on your nervous system, your body chemistry might be just a little off, your perception of the world around you and your interpretation of things you see and hear might be slightly different than reality. Have you ever noticed that when you’re stressed, you react differently than when you’re relaxed? It’s the same concept.
When you’re stressed, you’re in “fight or flight” mode. When you’re relaxed, you’re in fulfillment mode. When you get adjusted (especially at the top of the neck) your body relaxes and moves toward that fulfillment mode. That’s when you think more clearly and can focus on things much bigger than your physical symptoms, like your life goals and reason for being.
When you’re finally able to think bigger thoughts, you begin to see the world as it is instead of merely how you are. The cleaner your filter on the World becomes, the clearer your thinking becomes. When that happens, another new world of possibilities opens to you.
If you’re not under chiropractic care or if you’re chiropractor is more focused on your symptoms than your life, let me know. I’ll help you find one that will help you begin to open yourself to a whole new way of thinking and living. Clear.
