A Glass of Water on a Forest Fire:



     A practice member questioned the number of times  they needed to “get adjusted” when initially starting care. They wanted to show up here and there for a quick “tune up” when they really needed 2-3 sessions a week. I told them “It’s like trying to put out a forest fire with a glass of water… your intention is right, but the volume is lacking.”

     Chiropractic can help your spine, nerve system, and body work better when the dosage is right and some spines simply need a larger dousing!

     People want to do the minimum work needed to get the maximum results. It's human nature.  Quick fix solutions, drive through windows, and get rich quick schemes all appeal to that reptilian part of our brains that want results right now. Therapeutic treatments play into that appeal by promising the ‘quickest results or the fastest relief’ with drugs, surgeries, and other modalities. But temporarily covering up symptoms or doing away with offending body parts is not a long-term organic solution.

     It’s true, sometimes it may take more time and effort to get your body to function better with chiropractic care.  Sometimes we have to overcome years or decades of spinal neglect.  But nothing worthwhile happens overnight.  Just like with proper nutrition and exercise, if you stick with the recommended plan and have an understanding of how the process works… you’ll have a healthier spine, nerve system, and a better life.
