Taking Back Control of Your Health

Everyone knows that most drugs mask or cover up symptoms. They never “fix” or correct the cause of the actual health problem, even medical doctors would admit to that. So where do you turn for good health care? How do you take control of your health so you don’t have to depend on drugs and/or surgery? This requires a mental paradigm shift and one that will ultimately lead to your maximum health, function and well-being.

Your body has a master control system called the nervous system. Its function is to control and coordinate all the functions of every organ cell and tissue in your body. It controls every action and reaction. Your brain is the master control center. It sends and receives all instructions to the body via the spinal cord. The spinal cord delivers and receives the instructions from the brain to the body via spinal nerves. The spinal nerves leave the spine and go out to every muscle, organ, gland and cell in the body.

Interference to the nervous system would hinder or interfere with the body’s ability to function properly. At first there may be no obvious symptoms, just like a small cavity in your tooth. Over time nerve irritation could cause pain, tingling, numbness, burning, pins and needles, weakness, and of course organ, muscle, gland and system dys-function.

So at the most basic level, in order to give your body the chance to obtain and maintain maximum health and function, you need to make sure that your body is clear of nervous system interference. A misaligned spinal bone (subluxation) ultimately interferes with the spinal nerve extending out to the body. The subluxation will cause the joint to wear down at a faster rate, just like when your car tires are out of alignment. The body then lays down bone to protect the joint, leading to arthritis and further decay. Subluxations cause ill health. Subluxations can be caused by many things, such as an accident, fall, cumulative micro trauma, stress, chemical pollutants, and sports. Subluxations can occur as early as birth, especially if the neck is twisted at delivery. Subluxations can occur all your life.

Here’s the good news! The only doctors in the word that are specifically trained to locate, analyze and correct nervous system interference are doctors of chiropractic. A chiropractor’s job is to make sure that your nervous system is free of nerve interference so that your body can function at its maximum health.

Chiropractic care is not a panacea. In order to have maximum health and function, you must embrace the five pillars of health:

1. Get plenty of rest/sleep
2. Eat well for life
3. Exercise
4. Maintain a positive mental attitude
5. Have a nervous system that is free of interference.

Take control of your health, function and well-being forever. Release your dependence on drugs and surgery and take action.

Yours in health,
