We all know that we need to eat healthy and exercise. The keys that we are missing here are:
1) We need to think positive and stay motivated. Everyday you wake up ask yourself what you want to do with YOUR next 24 hours. It's that simple. We choose to wake up early to exercise or sleep in because we are tired. We choose to work because we want a house, car, and nice things. Every situation you encounter you get to choose the result. Did you ever get cut off by another driver. You are cursing, screaming, blood is boiling.... AHH. Just to pull up next to the person and they shrug their shoulders with puppy dog eyes and lip the words "sorry". We just had an anxiety attack, over an accident. Lets all calm down some.
2) Take charge of your health! Stop waiting for something to go wrong! This does mean eat right and exercise. It also means take proper supplements to supply your body with the vitamins and minerals it NEEDS to survive.
If you go for a medical checkup they take your blood pressure, maybe look in your eyes and ears, test the blood, and say "Your healthy"
You go to the Dentist to check if you have any cavities, something you work daily to prevent.
But yet who goes to get their muscles and joints tested? Most people don't. This is where chiropractic comes in as more than just "Back Pain Docs". We treat many conditions of the spine yes, but also treat all joints of the body and muscles. We treat many conditions that are painful because nervous system irritation (You have to have nervous system irritation for their to be pain).
So, please eat healthy and exercise. But get your body checkup just as you do your teeth and your blood work. Don't wait for pain to occur because at that point the problem has most likely been there for awhile.
Please realize that chiropractors are more than back doctors. We are knee, ankle, hip, shoulder, elbow, wrist, etc. doctors. We treat headaches, TMJ, numbness and tingling in the hands and feet. We also have been shown to provide improvement and relief to children with ADD / ADHD and Autism. But we don't limit ourselves to pain doctors or condition doctors, we are also preventative medicine doctors that can help families live a happy and healthy life.
