Encinitas Chiropractor : The Nature of Health and Mankind

Encinitas Chiropractor : The Nature of Health and Mankind

Is health the absence of illness? To may of us the answer is yes! Actually, this is far from the truth. Health is the ability to play with our children and grandchildren. It is the ability to smile and laugh with our friends and to climb that mountain or staircase when we want to for our enjoyment and pleasure. In many ways real health is tied to our happiness, and happiness is the ability to do the things we want. We run, bike, play, walk, go to the beach or enjoy an outdoor jazz concert. It’s called quality of life.

This is different from what we often hear but the truth needs to come out. If you are not living life to its fullest, for yourself or for your loved ones, in happiness and grace then you are not living a full healthy life. Our bodies are never devoid of disease. At all times of the day our bodies are removing cancer cells, fighting off foreign bodies (toxins, bacteria and viruses), and repairing damaged systems. This repairing process you recognize as tendonitis, gastrointestinal problems, fibromyalgia. The list goes on.

These realizations bring us back to the question, what is true health? It is the body’s ability to adapt to a changing internal and external environment. It is not the lack of disease! Disease is always present. If this disease is kept in check by the body then we can play with the kids, climb that mountain, and laugh with our friends and family.

If this is true health, and you are not doing this, it is time to have a heart to heart talk with yourself and ask “why not?”. It may be that you have been looking at things the wrong way. Healing does not occur outside of your body. No doctor or procedure can heal you from the outside, it is up to you and your body to heal from the inside out, from the top down. As a chiropractor my goal is to help create the environment for this healing to occur, naturally, without drugs. All healing is from within and is given to us by the power that created us. This is the same power that allowed us to grow from a single cell to the great and wonderful human beings we are today.

Many types of health professionals will help you with conditions and symptoms. Only chiropractic targets the center of your being , the brain and spine, so that your body can do what it does best: heal from the inside out, from the top down. That is why so many people use chiropractors! ( besides just wanting to feel fabulous! )

Your health is in your hands and the power to regain it is yours. It is my job and the job of all health care professionals to advise you of how to reach this goal but only you can define your own level of health, and ultimately, your level of true happiness.

Most of you know what it takes to make your body run correctly. There is no lack of information on this subject. My directive for my readers: resolve right now to go and be healthier and happier and start taking steps to take back your health!
