We Don’t Live as Healthy as You Think
There are few things that concern people more than the state of their bodies and minds.
So for that reason, people also take extreme care of their bodies.
Right?
Unfortunately, this is far from always the case; a lot of people are far from making the most of their health. This is due to a combination of factors that are different for almost everyone. As chiropractors, we see it as our job to promote the health of our clients.
For a good reason a chiropractor is often seen as a personal advisor who guides people in getting and keeping optimal health.
HEALTHY LIVING IS IN YOUR OWN HANDS
For a good reason a chiropractor is often seen as a personal advisor who guides people in getting and keeping optimal health.
What health risks do we as Chiropractors often see?
Western society offers us an extraordinary amount of comfort, relaxation and challenge. However, all these wonderful things often have a downside. We want to highlight three factors and give you our take on them.
Attention! This vision is based on decades of experience and hundreds of years of research and science!
1. Medication use and Chiropractic (hint: they don’t often go together)
Yes it is wonderful not to have a headache or to fall asleep easily. Painkillers and bezodiazepines/sedatives/sleeping aids/muscle relaxants/relaxants are therefore taken heavily. Hundreds of thousands of Dutch people take these drugs on a regular basis! In fact, in 2018, more than one million people used recreational drugs.
Let these numbers sink in. Hundreds of thousands and millions!
All these people swallow chemicals to avoid feeling things or experiencing things. So this amounts to taking unnatural substances to disrupt bodily processes. So there is a signal from the body (pain or stress hormone) that indicates something is not right.
Wouldn’t it make much more sense to seek and address the cause rather than suppress the signal?
A chiropractor can help you change this. That means we take the body’s signal seriously and look for the cause. If this cause is taken care of, then medication is not necessary.
2. Inactivity. Chiropractic stands for natural movement
Many people lead sedentary lifestyles. We sit at work, at dinner and in the evening on the couch (behind TV or screen).
This is not how we as humans have lived for thousands of years. In particular, our Western society has a totally different pattern of life than the one we have always had. This directly affects all kinds of processes and structures in our body.
For example, our spine is stressed differently by being sedentary. As chiropractors, we receive many people who develop subluxations as a result. By taking care of these subluxations and giving people advice for specific movement, we can make a big difference for our clients.
3. Food and Beverages (the Chiropractor recommends Water!).
A well-known problem in our society is the availability of artificial food. The stores are full of all kinds of products called ” nutrients.”
However, these products (cookies, chips, bars, sweetened yogurts, warm-up meals) have no nutritional value whatsoever!
The same goes for sugary/caffeinated beverages. These drinks disrupt our bodies.
By supplying our bodies with these products, our bodies are not getting the nutrition they need. Therefore, your chiropractor always advises: eat natural products as much as you want and manufactured products in moderation. Also, don’t forget to drink plenty of water to give your body a chance to eliminate waste products.
Better health with chiropractic begins with chiropractor and client embarking on a (hopefully very long) journey together. We assist you on a regular basis and monitor your health.
Not for nothing is TOPCHIRO the number one chiropractic practice in the Netherlands!
