You do the Math.Anthony is a healthy, very active young professional. He has a successful career, a house and a dog. He races mountain bikes and spends weeks scuba diving in exotic tropical waters. His vision of health extends to the concept of wellness. In other words, he has realized that a) what you do today dictates your future health and wellbeing and b) it doesn’t make sense to settle for feeling good when health-wise, you can be great and consistently get better and better, do and have it all. All this means that smart choices today will keep rewarding you for years to come. That includes regular, long-term chiropractic care.
Of course, life happens, and Anthony has occasional run-ins with the realities of the laws of nature (especially gravity). So it turned out that a few weeks ago, Anthony shoveled snow. And was stressed out. And shoveled some more. And lifted children, a lot. Next day, his back hurt. You know the kind of hurt that makes you wonder if you can make it to the bathroom because the pain is so severe. That kind of hurt. Worse because Anthony had a similar experience 10 years ago (in his pre-chiropractic days) and had to spend 8 weeks in a drug-induced fog. He was concerned about what was in store for him. I would have been also if that was my history.
So, into the office crawls Anthony, wincing, crooked and tender, looking for adjustment. Since Anthony gets checked regularly, it takes just a couple of visits to get him back on track and before you know it, he has resumed his normal activities. This is one of the most powerful benefits of regular care that Linda and I have observed through our career; getting back up to speed takes our patients just a fraction of the time that it takes people who are not adjusted before they get hurt. In essence,
chiropractic care has a protective effect. For Anthony, it was 1 week of dysfunction and pain versus eight wasted weeks of agony. You do the math.
Knowing that stuff will happen in life, this is equivalent to driving a car knowing that some day, you’ll have an accident. Would you rather take your chances in a cardboard car or would you rather be in a Volvo when it happens? Regular chiropractic care is your health care Volvo.
OK, let’s get real, are you letting your spouse and kids tool around in a cardboard car or are you making sure they have Volvo health strength and proactive protection?
