Some Things Are Just Healthy ... Period!

Some Things Are Just Healthy…Period!!


Occasionally, people will suggest to me that they don’t feel any better after doing something healthy.  My own Dad, for example, says that he doesn’t feel any better after working out.  He’s been saying this for several years now.  Periodically, a patient will tell me that after years of chiropractic care they don’t feel any different.

Although this is uncommon, it’s important to realize that some things are just good for you, REGARDLESS of how you feel.

Example 1 – It is clearly a good idea to brush your teeth at least twice a day.  After doing so, I would be hard pressed to tell you that I feel better.  What I know is that if I do something good for my teeth often and regularly my teeth will be better off and last longer.

Example 2 – Most days I don’t feel like waking up early to read my bible and spend time with God.  Often times I read the bible and spend time with God, but don’t FEEL any different.  In fact there are times I do this and I actually feel worse.  The revelations I receive may convict me on the inside and cause me transitional growth turmoil.  It doesn’t always feel good, but I know it is good for me and that it’s the right thing to do.

Example 3 – I feel more often like eating a 12 slice pepperoni pizza than I feel like eating broccoli.  After eating broccoli I can’t report feelings of elation and joy but the truth is even though I don’t feel better or even different, it’s just the right thing to do.

Example 4 – Most days I don’t feel like going for a walk after dinner with my wife.  She loves to walk together, I don’t.  I do it, and I don’t feel much different afterwards but I know it was the right thing to do.

Chiropractic adjustments are just the right thing to do for your spine and nervous system - even if you don’t feel much different.  Your spine needs to have proper motion and your brain controls your whole body via your back.  It needs to be nurtured even if you don’t feel it.

Some things (chiropractic) are just good for you.
