Wellness Lifestyle Implementation Steps 7/18/10

Did You Know???: the first Chiropractic adjustment was given to a deaf janitor named Harvey Lillard in hopes of returning his hearing? Guess what, it did! The janitor wasn't born deaf, he had become deaf after a fall and remained that way for years until D.D. Palmer (the founder of Chiropractic) gave him the very first Chiropractic adjustment. A remarkable story, and a reminder that Chiropractors are not "back pain" doctors, they are nervous system doctors. They find the spinal cause of nervous system interference, remove it, and allow the body to operate and heal at an optimum level. Chiropractors cannot cure deafness but your body can when operating on all cylinders. Is your body operating on all cylinders?

Doctor's Soapbox:
What is the cause of an inability to concentrate or "shut your brain off"? Stress. When we are stressed out, we sacrifice our ability to concentrate, or pay attention, for the ability to increase alertness. This is important evolutionarily because when we were under the stress of a sabertooth tiger attack we didn't have to memorize a grocery list, we had to be alert and aware of any and all escape routes. Today, we aren't battling acute stressors that could take our lives as often as we did back then. Now we face chronic stressors that kill us slowly. While we're under this stress, the same physiology applies, we trade attention span for alertness. So if you find yourself unable to concentrate, or have been "diagnosed" with ADHD, try meditation to decrease stress levels and bring your body back to balance. You will find your ability to concentrate improves very quickly.
