Just Start / "Walk Slowly - But Never Backwards"

Remember back in high school or college when you’d have to write a paper for an assignment? Even if it was just 500 words, starting the paper was always the hardest. I’m not alone in that feeling, right?
It’s interesting, because the same issue is often felt with any intimidating or daunting task we need or want to pursue in life.

But when it comes to ACTION, we generally falter after a few good college tries. This is the difference between motion and action.
Motions are strategizing, planning, and learning. And at the end of the day it doesn’t matter how much you do any of those things - they don’t produce results. Action on the other hand is what delivers an outcome.

"nEW pAtiEnT SpeCiaL" / Quality Care > Marketing Gimmicks

You ever hear the phrase, “If you pay, you pay attention?” No? Well you’ve had to have heard of “you get what you pay for” then right?

I just bought a knock off Athlemon shirt from Amazon for $16 vs the Lululemon shirt I could have bought for $60. And guess what?! The quality is definitely 3.75x less. Which means it won’t last as long in the closet and therefore I’ll have to keep buying new ones more often.

Recovery > Exercise

We usually think that we exercise or work out to build muscle, but that's dead wrong. Our activity and performance actually strains the tissue and stresses the body. So how do we get bigger, stronger, faster?! RECOVERY.

My Role as Your Chiropractor

Don’t Chiropractors just crack your back?!
There’s so much more to it than that.
The way I see it, my main focus as a chiropractor is to get you feeling better. Bottom line. If I at least do that, I am doing my job.
This means going beyond the simple adjustments. It means working the muscles, ligaments, blood flow, motor control and corrective exercise individually designed to get you to your specific goals.

Manifestation / Can a Negative Mental State Add to Our Issues?

“We’re doing this exercise to limit your risk of injury.”
I’ve caught myself saying this before, but I try to avoid it like the plague.
Why would we even put this negative thought remotely close to a patient’s attention while we’re working on getting them away from it?!

Providers of any discipline commonly think people get structurally or mechanically injured but forget that there’s a human attached to the bag of meat we’re working with.
This human has a deepened relationship with this injury. Maybe they’ve missed time on the field. Maybe they’ve been lacking their usual social connections with teammates because they’re stuck in rehab.
