It is important for you to understand that focusing on one aspect of your life in order to bring balance to it is not possible.  For instance, having your neck adjusted will alleviate the pain, improve posture, increase function in all systems in your body, but if you choose to rely on only that you can never achieve a healthy life and be in balance. 

There are many aspects that an individual must address in order to live well.  One must eat the proper foods that provide the body with the necessary nutrients to allow the body to function properly. 

One must also, find time to be active so that our bodies do not become rigid from inactivity.  Movement also allows us to push lymph through the lymphatic system which relies on our motion to help it along.  Without it our immune system suffers. 

We must also find time throughout the day to bring peace to our mind and bodies.  In our everyday lives we are bombarded by stress.  It is everywhere.  Whether it is deadlines, traffic, appointments, homework, bills, etc. we are constantly putting demands on our bodies which is having a detrimental effect on our well being.  Take time in these moments to center yourself.  Take a few deep breaths and relax.  The stress will still be there but at least you can take on the stress with a little less tension.

We must all be grateful for this opportunity given to us to live an existence that is truly incredible, but what good is life if we can't enjoy it.  Take the necessary steps to improve your life.  Stop being the victim and take control.  Don't let stress and unhealthy choices force you into a position where you now have to focus energy  in order to come into balance.  Get in balance and stay there.  That is the key to a wonderful and successful life.   

"The ULTIMATE objective of getting any sick person well of any disease
in any organ, is to have a steady, consistent, continuous, normal
quantity flow of mental impulse supply between brain and sickness."

Our bodies were designed to maintain balance dependent on the task at hand.  If we are in a fight or flight response our bodies react accordingly to save us from this situation.  If we are at rest our bodies adjust to the environment and functions accordingly.  But what happens when our bodies don't respond properly to the situation.  What if we are in a fight or flight response when we should be resting?

As you can imagine, when we are stressed, our sympathetic nervous system(flight or flight) kicks in, pumping adrenaline, raising our blood pressure, slowing down our digestive processes and creating tension in our bodies, because we are trying to stay alive from the stimulus. 

When there is interference in the nervous system, our bodies are in constant flight or flight response.  We are in overdrive all the time.  This is causing the body to be overworked and fatigued.  This is literally stressing you out!  You must bring balance to the nervous system by removing the interference and allowing the nervous system to reset itself and start doing what it knows how to do. 

By removing the stress from the nervous system our bodies can start the process of healing and restoring function to what was lost.  Our bodies have the most amazing healing capabilities, we need to remove the interference and trust it to do its job.

Balance is the key to life.

True healthcare reform by Richard Sarnat, M.D. "...regular utilization of chiropractors ... reduces the need for hospitalization by 60.2%, hospital days by 59%, pharmaceutical usage by 85%, outpatient surgeries and procedures by 62% and overall global health care costs by more than 50%."

Balance, flexibility, mobility are keys to a healthy spine and healthy you. When there is imbalance, your spine becomes rigid and you start losing mobility. This is detrimental to your well being. Proper alignment of your spine along with stretching and exercise are keys to a life of wellness.
