August 3, 2008 "Personal Section"

July marked the two-year anniversary of my bike accident and I am happy to say I am all healed up. Just a recap (sorry to those who already know this), but in 2006 I was hit by a motorcycle while biking in the mountains of North Georgia. I broke 3 bones, was all scraped up, and missed almost five months of practice. Last year I had surgery on my wrist after it just wasn't healing the way it should, and I think I can comfortably say I am doing better. I will never be back to 100%, but at least I can do most things these days without pain. Even a few months ago it still hurt to adjust, it hurt to do some yoga moves, it hurt to climb out of a pool, but not anymore.

Thus, it took 2 years for my wrist to heal ... so everyone should keep that in mind, especially when experiencing neck pain, low back pain, leg pain, or whatever. The body takes time and needs time to heal. Inside all of us is an incredible inborn intelligence, that allows us to heal and regulate, called our innate intelligence. We don't have to tell our body how to make our heart beat, or breathe, or digest food, or heal broken bones, our innate, inborn intelligence does all that. If it is not working properly, then symptoms begin, as healing and regulation slows down or doesn’t work as efficiently. Chiropractic adjustments can help by "turning on" that innate intelligence to function at a higher, more proper level, so healing can begin. That is what true health is all about.

Is your body functioning at its best? Are you getting regular adjustments to ensure that it is? Is your nervous system free of interference? We utilize high-tech computer scanning at our office to assess the health of your nervous system so we can help you. It is my goal to help others and encourage them to live a healthy lifestyle, one free of nervous system interference. If you know anyone who hasn’t been checked at our office, please send them our way.
