Happy May!

They say April showers bring May flowers! Well, I guess this weekend has made up for the rain we didn’t have earlier in the month. May promises to bring warmer weather and beautiful, colorful blossoms. 

It is the rain that makes us appreciate the sunshine a little bit more. It is the struggle that sparks growth. It challenges us to appreciate what could be perceived as a negative to understand it is a necessary element to success. It also challenges us to slow down and take notice of the changes around us. The birds are chirping a little louder, the sun is rising a little earlier, the trees are blooming and the grass is growing. 

I would invite you to also take notice of your body and how it functions. We tend to be less active in the winter months. Some have been less active since the beginning of the pandemic and have been working from home at dining room tables and chairs rather than a desk and ergonomic chair. Some have started chiropractic but have been spotty with your visits. I invite you to not base your schedule on how you feel. Remember only about 10% of your nerve pathways can feel anything. The other roughly 90% of your nerves supply vital messages from your brain to your organs and tissues. Why base your care on 10% of your function? And certainly, if there’s an issue that presents itself, please bring it to our attention so we can find a resolution.

I know pain is a great motivator but remember your body needs to function at its best all the time. Ideally, getting adjusted should be something you incorporate into your lifestyle for the rest of your life. 

As discussed in the office, double check your May calendar for days and hours of operation before heading over especially if you’re coming from a distance.

Thank you again for being a part of our chiropractic family.

See you on your next visit.
