The majority of people we meet in the clinic or community have this general perspective: lack of symptoms must mean I am healthy. It makes sense, and what else could there be to health? One would think any "serious issue" would be seen or felt, right? And that thought error is the very problem. What does heart disease feel like? What does a cancerous mutation feel like? We do not know the answers to these questions until it is too late. In fact, approximately 70% of the time, the first symptom of heart disease is a heart attack! So it comes down to this reality: basing our health on how we look or feel is a reactive way to manage our health and life. This perspective is something we teach all of our patients. The fact is, the best way to support a healthy lifestyle is eat healthy, move (which includes healthy spinal mechanics and getting adjusted!), positive self talk and positive emotional state, sleep, and avoiding unnatural chemicals or toxins. Essentially what the forefathers of Chiropractic broke down into the 3 T's: thoughts, traumas, and toxins.
