“Brown Spots in Your Lawn?”

You're proud of your lawn.  You water it, feed it on schedule and try to keep the neighborhood kids off of it.  But you missed a few spots with the fertilizer spreader and now dull, brown patches where the grass was STARVED of potential growth energy begin to show.  A similar situation can happen inside you.
All the cells, organs and tissues that make up your body need an even distribution of neurotrophic (Life sustaining) energy from your Nerve System in order to flourish and grow.  If parts of your body are deprived of this energy, likewise you'll develop dull brown patches (dis-ease) on your internal lawn.  Chiropractors refer to it as being 'Subluxated.'
The goal of Chiropractic care is 100% coverage of neurotrophic Life energy in your body – and that's achieved by keeping your Nerve System clear of blockages at the spinal level. If you don't want to see ugly, brown, weak patches in your health, stay EVEN and consistent with your Chiropractic care.

LIFE AS A BANK ACCOUNT

Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with £86,400.

It carries over no balance from day to day.

Every “evening” deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day.

What would youdo?

Draw out every cent, of course!!!!

Each of us has such a “bank”.  Its name is TIME.

Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.

Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose.

It carries over no balance.

It allows no overdraft

Each day it opens a new account for you.

Each night it burns the remains of the day.

If you fail to use the day’s deposits, the loss is yours

There is no going back. There is no drawing against the “tomorrow.”

You must live in the present on today’s deposits

Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success!

The clock is running.

Make the most of today

What would you do?

What would you do? 

You make the choice; don't look for a punch line. There isn't one. Read it anyway.

My question to all of you is: Would you have made the same choice?

At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning disabled children, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended.

After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question.

"When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do.”

”Where is the natural order of things in my son?”

The audience was stilled by the query.

The father continued. "I believe, that when a child like Shay comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes, in the way other people treat that child."

Then he told the following story: Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball.

Shay asked, "Do you think they'll let me play?"

Shay's father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging. Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play.

The boy looked around for guidance and, getting none, he took matters into his own hands and said, "We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning."

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on glove and played in the outfield. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as his father waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.

Should they, at this juncture, let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?

Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible 'cause Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball. However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least be able to make contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay.

As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.

Instead, the pitcher took the ball and turned and threw the ball on a high arc to right field, far beyond the reach of the first baseman.

Everyone started yelling, "Shay, run to first! Run to first!"

Never in his life had Shay ever made it to first base. He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.

Everyone yelled, "Run to second, run to second!"

By the time Shay rounded first base, the right fielder had the ball. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions and intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head.

Shay ran toward second base as the runners ahead of him deliriously circled the bases toward home.

Shay reached second base, the opposing shortstop ran to him, turned him in the direction of third base, and shouted, "Run to third!"

As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams were screaming, "Shay, run home!" Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the "grand slam" and won the game for his team.

"That day," said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, "the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world."

“Unwind with Chiropractic…”

Ever feel 'wound up' from the stresses of life?  You feel tight and distorted, like a rubber band that's been twisted to the brink of snapping?  That tension you're feeling isn't in your head… it's actually in your Nerve System.
The constant, never ending stress of life builds tension in your nerves like an over twisted rubber band that robs you of experiencing the fullness of Life.  Chiropractors refer to this state as being 'Subluxated.'  If you don't regularly purge this tension from your nerves, it builds silently until a physical or emotional crisis manifests.  The solution… release the tension with preventative Chiropractic care, and get control of your Life again!
Chiropractic care gently removes stress from your spine and spinal cord before a critical failure can occur.  This is one 'rubber band' you need to keep clear!  Unwind your stress with regular Chiropractic adjustments and start experiencing the tension free Life you were born to have.

“Treating the Bark vs. Adjusting the Cause…”

You walk into your Chiropractor's office, hop on a table and point to where it hurts.  But the Chiropractor adjusts a totally different part of your spine… not even close to where you feel the pain.  Why is that?  
There's an old saying that goes when you step on a dog's tail, it barks out the other end.  In Chiropractic, that means where you hurt (the bark) isn't necessarily where the problem is (the tail).  Many times the symptom you feel in one area is due to  a remote cause.  For example, someone with sciatica may feel pain down their leg, but the cause of the problem is a Vertebral Subluxation in their spine. 
Chiropractors know that if you address the cause of the symptom, the body will no longer have  need to produce it.  That's why Chiropractors focus on fixing underlying problems and not superficial effects.  Chasing after symptoms is like a dog chasing its own tail – spinning around and around until it gets dizzy, confused and frustrated.  It's much smarter to address the underlying cause from the start.

“Time to Get in Gear…”

When you turn your neck or twist your back does your spine snap, grind and ratchet like a bicycle chain stuck in mid gear?  That grating noise could mean something's out of alignment.
Your spine is made up of movable bones called vertebrae, each joined perfectly together like the links of a bicycle chain.  If one or more of these joints become stuck and misaligned it can slowly wreak havoc on the mechanical integrity of your entire spine.  The result – pain, stiffness and premature arthritic changes.
Don't neglect the noises.  Abnormal grinding (crepitus) of spinal joints may indicate early degenerative joint disease.  Remember, unlike a bicycle chain, you can't replace spinal 'links' when they get damaged.  Get your spine tuned up by a Chiropractor who is thoroughly trained in restoring the normal mechanics of your spine, and protect yourself from premature wear and tear.
