What is Health?
Health is a state of optimal physical, mental, and social well-being. It is NOT simply the absence of pain, symptoms, or disease. Put simply, health is a state of optimal function!
What about Pain?
Many people may define health for them as being “pain free”. While this is part of health, it probably not the most accurate description. If it were, one would simply need to take the strongest form of pain medication to instantly be healthy. Some people are already on these medications. They are usually found in a hospital, and are not in their most optimal state of health. From the opposite spectrum, if you dropped a brick on your foot, would you suddenly be unhealthy?
There are many nerves in the body, but did you know that only 10% of these nerves have the ability to feel pain? This is the reason that pain is not always felt while a problem is developing. Instead, it may actually be your body’s final warning sign to you that something is wrong such as in cancer or a heart attack.
How we Promote Health
At Spencare Chiropractic Health, our goal is to focus on increasing the overall function of your entire body, including the nervous system. The nervous system commands your entire body, and is behind the body’s natural healing processes. By insuring that your nervous system works properly, your body will be able to fully express itself, which is the key to overall health. When it is functioning properly, you will not have to worry about symptoms, such as pain, because they will not exist anymore or will be decreasing through the body’s natural healing process. This will also prevent future problems from occurring, build up your body’s natural resistance to disease, and insure a higher quality state of life.
