Imagine there is a bank that deposits $86,400 into your account each morning. But there’s a catch, it carries over no balance from day to day, so you lose every dollar you don’t spend. What would you do? You’d spend every cent of course. Each of us has just such a bank. Its name is time.
Every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever you have failed to invest to good purpose. Now, think about how much your health problems are robbing you of valuable time. It robs you of productivity in the workplace. It robs you of sleep, if those 4,600 hundred miles of nerves aren’t recharged for eight hours each night you are groggy all day. It robs you of energy. How many times have you said, “I have so much to do, but I just don’t feel like it.” Days can turn into weeks and weeks can turn into months. When movement causes pain, you tend not to move. The less you move, the weaker your muscles become. The weaker your muscles, the more stress and the more stress, the more pain. It’s a vicious cycle leading to chronic pain.
We see many patients who tell us, “I’ve had this pain in my back for months or even years. I’ve just been thinking maybe it will go away someday.” But now, it’s more frequent and more severe. Eventually it gets to the point where your body tells you, “Okay, if you don’t want to listen to me, I’m going to make you so miserable so you have to do something.”
When faced with chronic pain you have several choices:
1. Live with the pain.
2. Live on pain pills. Eventually your body adapts to the pills and you have to start taking stronger pills or take more to get the same relief. Anti-inflammatory pain drugs destroy your stomach, liver and kidneys and they all can eventually cause a heart attack. They are not designed for long-term use. Your pain is not caused because your body is low on Ibuprofen.
3. Wait until you need surgery, but it’s costly, risky and expensive.
4. Or you can treat the cause of your pain naturally. A law of biogenesis says: Life only comes from life. In other words, your body has a miraculous ability to heal itself, if you allow the life energy to work with Chiropractic care. A law of physics is structure governs function. Anything structurally out of alignment affects function. Nerves control the function of all of the 666 muscles and all the organs and tissues of the body and relates them to their environment.
90 percent of the people in America develop chronic back pain. Back pain is the number one reason for disability and lack of productivity. What did the spinal cord say to the vertebra that was out of alignment? “You’re getting on my nerves.”
Too many people sacrifice their health to obtain their wealth and they have to spend their wealth to try to regain their health again. If you don’t invest some time to regain your health, each day you feel lousy is lost. It can never be repurchased again. Don’t waste another second if you want long-lasting relief.
