It’s about your life

Yesterday I was checking and performing an adjustment for someone here in the office and her mother made an interesting comment afterward. She said, “I’ve felt that this adjustment was different, but never actually seen what it looked like before.” When I looked at her curiously she explained, “It just seemed so meticulous, careful and deliberate. I want you to know that I really appreciate that.” My response was that it’s like following the Golden Rule, i.e. Doing unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Their family has only been under care for a few months and they weren’t brand new to chiropractic, but between the lines she seems to have been saying that they weren’t used to precise care. Reflecting on this it occurs to me that this doesn’t make me special as their chiropractor, it just means that I really value a specific adjustment. There’s a good reason why it matters so much. That’s because an adjustment is about much more than making someone feel better. The way we like to express it is simple: Chiropractic…it’s not about your back…it’s not about your pain…it’s about your life!
