The cause of subluxations in the spinal column is a mal-adaption to physical stress, chemical stress, and emotional stress. When subluxations are corrected, the body trends back toward health. Now, when the body is trending back toward a healthier state, what would be the appropriate action to maintain this improved adaptation? Changing our environment. If we were to seek Chiropractic care and NOT CHANGE a dang thing about what made us sick in the first place, what the heck are we accomplishing?

We have two environments: External and Internal. External is the world around us and the stressors that come with it. Examples include working postures, finances, family, activities, etc,. Internal stressors would include medication, foods, stimulants, negative thoughts, etc. Without a doubt, we demand a lot of effort from our body daily. When we fail to ADAPT to the constant insult neurologically – tissues break down. The Chiropractors role is to help aid the body in improving adaptation to the stressors long enough for tissues to heal and the patient to recover from their ailment.

Chiropractic care in Coeur d'Alene ID is a 50/50 relationship. There is no “magic pill” to getting a person truly healthy and well. It takes a shared effort between Doctor and patient. After an adjustment the patient has a responsibility to make decisions that contribute to healing. Thinking well, fueling well, moving well, loving well, socializing well, and the list goes on. If the opposite occurs and we add more chemical insults, emotional insults, or physical insults would make sense that the body will not recover as expected. In short, it takes effort.

Checking a patient’s adaptability to stressors is one of our favorite things to do in the office. As a part of “WELLNESS” care, we check and see how well a person is ADAPTING to the SPEED OF THEIR LIFE. Thus, we can either maintain or prevent further breakdown and set the course straight. But we all have a responsibility for our health. There is no governing agency, insurance company, or medical community that will teach you what sustainable health should look like. Health comes from the INSIDE and the respect we show ourselves with our actions. You are responsible for your actions, especially in health. Genetics loads the gun, our choices pull the trigger.
