Since we always send reminder letters, we thought we would incorporate education into our reminders. We recognize that some of you want to be educated and some of you just want us to get straight to the point! So, we will give you the long version, and the short version. We think of everything, don't we? Did you know that only 10% of your entire nervous system perceives pain? Up to 90% can be heavily stressed without any alarms, whistles or bells. When a spinal vertebra shifts out of alignment, it may put damaging pressure on the spinal nerves, causing interruption to the vital nerve flow within your body. A vertebral subluxation is pressure on the nerve, causing interference to the messages your brain in sending and receiving. Just imagine the twenty-four moveable vertebrae making up the spinal column that are undergoing continuous pressure from gravity. Then, add tension from prolonged or unusual patterns of sitting and standing. Add to that the strain from walking, exercising, or mild to significant injuries. Now, let's compound this with stresses that come from personal, professional and emotional tension. If that isn't enough, it's also documented that chemical toxicity from foods, medications and environmental cause reflexive stress to your spine. Honestly, we're not trying to scare you. We're trying to "add years to your life and life to your years". It's been over three months since you've been adjusted. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to an adjustment. Forget about whether your insurance covers it. Your body needs to function properly. Aren't you worth it? YOUR HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH . . . INVEST IN IT!

We think of everything... don't we? Every day, you do something to your spine that causes pressure to a nerve, thus interfering with life giving nerve energy flow. Only 10% of your nervous system can perceive pain! You could have a problem, and not even know it.

Sincerely, EDUCATIONAL RECALL LETTER (6 months) HEALTHY LIVING SHOULD INCLUDE CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS LONG VERSION Dear _____________: One of our main goals is to educate our patients about chiropractic care. Since we always send reminder letters, we thought we would incorporate education into our reminders. We recognize that some of you want to be educated and some of you just want us to get straight to the point! SO...we will give you the short version and the long version. We think of everything... don't we? Most people have been led to believe that eating nutritious foods, including supplements, drinking plenty of fluids, exercising regularly, sleeping well, and having a clean air supply will keep you healthy. STOP! These things are a vital part of living a healthy lifestyle, BUT every function in your body is under the TOTAL control of your nervous system, which must operate at 100% for optimal health. The nervous system houses your brain messages. Think about it. Your brain isn't programmed to make you sick or diseased . . . EVER! Each human brain and nervous system is totally 100% programmed for optimal health and wellness and will manifest this every time unless interfered with somewhere in the system. Establishing an uninterrupted nerve flow is the key to optimal healing. Having an adjustment regularly helps to eliminate interference that causes lack of communication between the nerves and the brain. We're not trying to scare you BUT... your health should be important to you. Did you know it has been six months since you've been adjusted? It is much easier to keep you healthy than to get you healthy! Please call our office to schedule an adjustment. YOUR HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH ...INVEST IN IT!

We think of everything... don't we? Chiropractic adjustments keep the vital nerve energy flowing throughout the body. When the energy flow is interfered with, that area of the body gets cut off from optimal communication with the brain, resulting in reduced health and the possibility of disease.
