Is Chiropractic Care a Luxury or a Necessity?

Is Chiropractic Care a Luxury or a Necessity?

May 6, 2025

 

I had a practice member this week discontinue their care because her husband told her that she has to put their money to better places of necessity. Her husband has never been under care, he has never been at this office, has never learned about what she was receiving here. To him, this was a luxury and not a necessity. He viewed this care as one would view a massage or a day at the spa.

I completely understand his position, if I was in his shoes I would think the same thing if I was cutting costs to save money. However, I know differently about what true health is and what it is not. This is not cosmetic or superficial. The care here is not designed to make you feel better temporarily. The care here is to provide a lifestyle of training the central nervous system to maximize the expression of the inborn, innate potential to heal, regulate and adapt to the environment we live in.

 

Here are the facts.

1. We are all born with an intelligence to heal, function, auto regulate and adapt.

2. That intelligence was placed in our central nervous system and protected by bones.

3. There are millions of receptors in these structures that have direct communication with the brain so that the sensory, motor and autonomic systems can function and stay in balance.

4. We all process ALL of our human existence through this master control center called the central nervous system.

5. Stress is constant, never stops until you are dead.

6. Your central nervous system processes these stressors that we experience, and our system LEARNS TO ADAPT TO THESE STRESSORS.

7. The patterns of adaptation show up in the structure and changes the way we stay in balance, the way our system learns to adapt to its environment.

8. When we reach an adaptive capacity, our bodies give us feedback in the form of symptoms to let us know that we have reached our capacity to adapt.

9. We retrain the impulses sent from our brain to our peripheral system via the spine to improve the adaptive potential and expand our systems integrity to adapt.

10. We heal only through our nervous system, not from pills, diet or supplements.

11. Constant lifelong care of the spine and nervous system allows full expression of our nervous system allowing full adaptive potential to traumas, toxins and emotions.

 

When practice members and their spouses understand this, they implement this. You are either taking lifelong care of this system and getting the body to heal and adapt from the inside out, or you are waiting for the capacity to be reached and treating the signals through pain management applications.

So, the bottom line is you have a choice. Choose to get yourself educated and learn how to care for and manage this system or wait and treat. The problem lies in not knowing this is the primary HEALTH care solution. So, get your family educated. If you don’t know how to inform and educate your friends or family, ask us!

“Health care” platforms have failed us in education about how the body heals and adapts. That is self-evident when you look at how failed our health care system is. We spend more on “health care” than we do on decreasing the national debt. That is a lot of misguided use of funds.

We are happy to help, but we need your help. Please spread this message with others. Believe me, they will thank you for it.

 

Peace and love,
