Balls of Paper & Chiropractic Garbage

 

Next time you visit your chiropractors office, look in the garbage by the adjusting table. You’ll see a bin full of squashed up tissue paper. Face paper from the table that is disposed of after a patient receives their adjustments.  This face paper in the can is so much more than trash.

 

Those balls of tissue represent a chiropractic adjustment or series of adjustments.  The white paper balls are recent byproducts of the process of healing. Better nervous system regulation and restored energy flow from your brain, through ones nerves and to the organs, tissues and cells that they control.  Did you know that your brain and nerves control all healing, function & regulation in your body?

 

The paper is a sign that someones internal computer was rebooted to run faster and more efficiently, similar to when you reboot your PC at home.  Immune system function, digestion, pain management, reflexes, thoughts, strength and internal communication all have the opportunity to improve with each ball of tissue thrown into the face paper waste basket.  Everything works better when your brain and nerves work better.

 

You see, most people think adjustments move your spine into alignment and you feel less pain because you are no longer crooked.  This is only part of the story.  Those paper balls don’t represent back pain, headaches, neck pain, whiplash, shoulder pain or sciatica. The big picture is nerve regulation and better brain communication throughout your body.  With better communication your body heals itself better, leading to feeling better, functioning better and being less susceptible to injury in the future.  It is through your nervous system that your pain goes away and you function better.

 

In our office those balls of paper represent your life invigorated, health optimization, forward movement toward the best possible you.  They represent people who we care about and are honored to have as patients and want to see have them achieve the best health and most happiness that their world can offer them.

 

What you may see as trash, we see as life, love, healing, hope, opportunity and human potential.  You know you are not a number here, you are a miracle.
