Why do People Love Chiropractic?

The exhilaration of running outside, with no pain in your knees. The feeling of picking up your children, without your back stopping you. Going a whole day at work with no headaches, and still having energy at the end of it.
Thats why our practice members want chiropractic care.

They set the bench-mark higher

They don't want to take painkillers just to get through the day, and they don't just accept aches and fatigue as an inevitable part of life.

The effect of having an aligned spine, and a well-functioning nervous system is like driving an expensive car. There was "nothing wrong" with the old banger you used to drive... it got you around, usually started first time, and did what you expected of it.

But the feeling of this new one is different - it's beyond what you expected. It responds almost before you ask it to, has far more power than you've been used to, and is actually a pleasure to drive. You want to keep on going for a while just to experience what it can do!

That's called potential. What chiropractic does is help you to experience the potential your body has to function properly. That goes way beyond fixing the odd ache and pain, and shows you how it feels to enjoy being alive.

Which is More Important: Wants, or Needs?

I was pondering this the other day, whilst thinking of how I could get my patients to do the things I wanted them to do, the things they need.
And then I realised, some people don't want to be well. Maybe it's too much of a responsibility or other priorities are on top.

We don't need to do anything.

...except if we want something.

Needs are the servants of wants, they're dictated by what we'd like to achieve or how we'd like to be. You don't need to exercise; unless you want to have a fit body. You don't need to eat proper fresh natural food; unless you want to have lots of energy and look and feel good. There's always a choice.

Yes, I know we need to earn money and breathe and get out of bed, but only if we want to live in this world and function as human beings.

I guess the message is to shift the focus from what you feel you need to do, all those burdensome time-consuming not-always-pleasant tasks... onto the bigger picture. One you painted yourself.

So I've stopped telling the people who ask for my help what they need, and now I ask them what they want.

People don't need Chiropractic, unless they want to experience how well they can be.
