That\u2019s what Jane and her daughter, Jenny (names changed) heard during our conversation when a mother and daughter were having their chiropractic visit this morning. I did ask a question of Jenny but in actuality I asked, “How’s it going?” <\/em>just like one might inquire, \u201cWhat\u2019s new?\u201d <\/em>Seeking clarification, Jenny responded, \u201cYou mean, how\u2019s my back feel?\u201d<\/em> My response was, \u201cOh no, I meant how\u2019s your life?\u201d <\/em> After a puzzled silence I soon added, \u201cAs your chiropractor I\u2019m not interested in your back at all.\u201d <\/em>Both mother and daughter began to laugh in wonderment that their chiropractor would give such an apparently outlandish response. Following up with more clarification again, \u201cSure, as a chiropractor the only reason I look at your spine is that it protects your nerve system, so that makes my work about your life, not your back.\u201d <\/em> Jane said, \u201cWell that\u2019s profound and refreshing.\u201d
\n<\/em>We all learned in school that the brain controls and coordinates all functions of the human body. Yet it seems that most of us forget just how basic, simple and profound that truth is. For example, when some part of the body isn\u2019t working well we fail to think in terms of where normal function comes from. Instead we try to artificially stimulate or inhibit function \u2013 usually with drugs. Aside from the fact that medications are dangerous<\/a>, our culture is in too big of a hurry to shoot from the hip with dangerous chemicals instead of helping the body to heal itself. But to get back to the point, the human body is a wonderfully built organism designed to heal itself when sick and moreover to function in health. Jane knew that this was true and she was aware of how her whole body functioned better under chiropractic care, nevertheless she hadn\u2019t thought about the link between good nerve supply and a good life. \u201cIt all makes so much sense,\u201d <\/em>she said.
\nWhile they were being checked for subluxation to see if they needed adjustments we chatted more about it. Usually Jane would only schedule a visit if her back hurt and she pointed out how much better it always felt after she got adjusted. So I said, \u201cThat\u2019s really great, but remember feeling better is the least important thing we do! Remember getting an adjustment is like getting life turned on in your body.\u201d<\/em> Jenny said, \u201cWhoa\u2026\u201d
