Perfect Health.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with a business mentor yesterday on ways to help market our practice and improve how we communicate our message. He is considered a "senior citizen" in the worlds eye but he was spot on with what's going on today. My father is the same way.

As we were talking about improving our message he mentioned a cartoon caption that he read over the weekend that stated. "Perfect health is the slowest possible rate at which you can die". When you let that sink in it's a very profound statement. I responded with the statement that "some have a better quality of life than others while going through the process".

In the end we are all going to move on to a better place, but most of our senior citizens who still have decades to live have a poor quality of life. They are suffering from many nagging problems, illnesses and consume multiple medications just to help maintain "life".

I recall one patient I took care of years ago that took 20 plus prescription medications every single day and my one question to her was "if you're taking this many medications shouldn't your quality of life be better and not worse?" she didn't respond in fact she was a patient who came a couple of times but quit because she didn't receive her miracle after the 3rd visit. I tried to tell her it always happens on the 4th visit. Just kidding kind of. Sometimes it does but in all reality healing is a process that takes time.

My goal as a chiropractor is to help senior citizens understand that their nervous system controls every function in their body and that more life flowing through their nervous system is better than less life flowing through it. We also help them understand that the longer you maintain life flowing to the maximum it will in turn help them have a better "quality of life"...hopefully with less medication.

Also, your never old to go to a chiropractor, my grandfather started at the age of 84 and went until he passed at the age of 94. His quality of life improved dramatically I just wish he started sooner.

So please remember that "Perfect Health" is the slowest possible rate that you can die while maintaining the highest quality of life. Go see your chiropractor regularly.

Have a great day!
