The Big Idea

It’s the foundation of chiropractic: It’s the “Big Idea.”

To appreciate the big idea, consider a couple small ideas.

Pain relievers are a small idea. Sure, if you have an ache or pain, relief is a big deal.

But ingesting a drug that stops your brain from sensing pain is actually a dangerous idea!

Germs are a small idea. (There are over 300 different types in your mouth right now!) Our body successfully deals with them all the time. They’re only an issue on those rare occasions when we create a hospitable environment for them to flourish. Germs are small, but the fear is needlessly large.

Just what is the Big Idea?

It’s the idea that you and I are self-healing. When we function as we were created, we’re naturally healthy and are able to heal. When you’re not healthy, something is interfering with this ability. Since your nervous system controls the whole show, that’s where we look.

Many people think chiropractic is about bones, especially spinal bones. But the fact is, we’re much more interested in nerves. In particular, the nerve messages that travel between the brain and the body and from the body back to the brain.

Any type of disruption can distort or disturb the integrity of the controlling and regulating messages from the brain. The result can be ill health.

A common culprit is the 24 moving bones of the spine that cover your spinal cord. When spinal bones lose their normal motion or position, it can irritate nearby nerves. Because the nervous system controls every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body, chiropractic care can help a wide variety of health problems.

Maybe you know someone who has been told that it’s “all in their head” or that they’ll have to “learn to live with it.” Worse, someone who thinks they were born with an aspirin or muscle relaxer shortage! Send them our way! www.gethealthybychoice.com
