Yet the phrase, \u201cbigger fish to fry\u201d comes to mind often when I review clinical findings with persons under care in the practice.  That\u2019s because many, if not most of the people we see begin their care here thinking that chiropractic is going to help them feel better.  Certainly that seems to be a worthy goal, but when one understands the real value of what we do, then getting out of pain or shedding one\u2019s other symptoms seems trivial by comparison.  Yes, people come here with the worthy, yet minimal expectation of feeling better.  Little do they know that a precise adjustment, done at the right time and place does so much more.  That\u2019s why I say, \u201cI\u2019ve got bigger fish to fry!\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youneedchiro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/big-fish.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youneedchiro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/big-fish-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"big fish\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-942\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the point, those spinal bones that sometimes need to be adjusted have a really important job to do.  They protect the vital nerves that link the brain with the rest of the body.  We all know that the brain controls and coordinates all functions of the body.  And we know that the bones of the spine protect the nerves that link the brain and body.  So when a vertebra (spinal bone) isn\u2019t doing what it\u2019s supposed to do it isn\u2019t able to properly do its job of protecting the spinal cord and nerves.  Instead it becomes a big insult to the nerve system, literally interfering with life\u2019s communication within the body itself.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youneedchiro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/not-about-your.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youneedchiro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/not-about-your-300x161.png\" alt=\"not about your\" width=\"300\" height=\"161\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-943\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.youneedchiro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/not-about-your-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/www.youneedchiro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/not-about-your-1024x552.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.youneedchiro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/not-about-your.png 1326w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAll of this is why we say that our job as chiropractors isn\u2019t to change how you, it\u2019s to allow the body to function properly.  There\u2019s a great inner wisdom that knows exactly what to do when that power is unleashed by a gentle, precise adjustment.  So remember, chiropractic isn\u2019t about your back and it isn\u2019t about your pain, it\u2019s about your life!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here I am, a vegetarian using an expression that ought to be reserved for those of the carnivorous persuasion.
