Create Your Own “Stimulus Package”

Many believe we must have control of our own lives, however, in times of an economic crisis this may seem extremely difficult to do. Loved ones are losing their jobs, we’re trying to pay the bills and stressing over things that previously we would not. One point of good news is that we have the ability to control the way we take care of ourselves.

The small stresses of our daily activities slowly alter the mechanics of our bodies. This occurs day after day eventually leading to aches and pains we associate with everyday life. Consequently, muscles and ligaments change over time, increasing our chances of serious injury down the road. At that point, we will want a “bailout” from chronic pain and all the doctor’s fees.

Whether we talk about a “stimulus package” from the government or one we create for ourselves, it should improve our current situation as well as improve things down the road. In terms of health, we need a solution that will make us feel better now and provide continued health for the future. One solution is chiropractic.

The nervous system controls everything in the body. Every cell, tissue and organ is under the direct influence of the nervous system. Chiropractic adjustments are capable of stimulating the nervous system at a specific spinal level naturally; allowing the body to feel and function better. Chiropractors are well educated in detecting biomechanical faults throughout the body, which in turn could be putting that individual at risk of injury. The chiropractic exam can consist of several tools (x-ray, orthopedic tests, range of motion tests, etc) that allow the Chiropractor to properly evaluate the spine and/or extremities. Benefits from chiropractic adjustments include: decreased pain, restored joint motion, improved flexibility, proper muscle tone, increased circulation, improved immune response, and decreased stress.

Chiropractic care is a conservative option that is versatile in its treatment. Someone with chronic pain or someone with subtle symptoms can both benefit from chiropractic adjustments. When it comes to health and wellness, prevention is easier and cheaper than a cure.

During this economic downturn, the best investment is in your health. Just as we spend money, time and effort on saving and securing our long-term wealth, we should also secure and enjoy our long-term health.
