If you were the unfortunate recipient of a nasty cut, you know what it's like to get stitches.  With a little local anesthetic and some skilled suturing, your cut looks much cleaner.  After a few days when the stitches come out, you barely notice there was even a wound.  So did the stitches do the healing?

Stitches and Chiropractic Adjustments have one thing in common… they can't ‘heal’ you.  Sure, both may be necessary after an injury.  But both can only create a cleaner environment for the healing to take place. Stitches align skin to seal a wound, adjustments align vertebrae to ease nerve pressure – but it's the healing power of Life inside you that completes the job. Take the best surgeon in the world and have them suture an incision on two different bodies. One alive and one, well, not alive. When the stitches are remove from the living breathing person you say “What a great doc!”. When the stitches are removed from the non-breathing one the wound opens. Well, that doc didn’t do a very good job, right? Wrong. There was no life force to do the healing.

The next time you come in for an adjustment to instantly fix your headache, your sciatica or your sleeping problems, understand it isn't the adjustment that produces the result.  It simply creates an environment more conducive for healing.  The doctor inside you is the one who deserves credit for the work.
