What Is Health?

True health does not mean merely being symptom free- it’s having your body working right, having good spinal alignment, restful sleep, strength and energy. If simply being free of symptoms were the only sign of good health, then aspirin, drugs and other medications would make you healthy, and the people taking the most drugs would be the healthiest. But are they?

Drugs don’t make you healthy. They may reduce or alter your symptoms, but that does not make you healthy. What makes you healthy? Life makes you healthy. Having 100% life flowing through you, having a body free of the vertebral subluxation complex so the energies from your brain can travel freely to every part of your body is what health is all about. And that’s the goal of the doctor of chiropractic.

Which Phase Are You In?
( The three phases of chiropractic care)

1. The Acute Phase:

In this Phase you may be in a state of discomfort or pain: people often visit a chiropractor when they are in this phase.

2. Reconstructive or Spinal Healing Phase:

In this phase you continue to go to your chiropractor because you need continued corrective care in order to strengthen and heal. Individuals in this phase may find that nearly every time they come in for a spinal checkup their spine is out of alignment.

3. Health Maintenance Phase:

Now your spine is holding it’s adjustments, you come in every so often for a spinal checkup and possible adjustment. Think of this in the same way that you think of a car tune-up every few thousand miles.
