Lights went out. Battery backups beeped. Fish tanks grinded to a halt.
The power went out at my house..
Four thoughts hit my head simultaneously as I sat at my dying computer: “What’s going on? What do I do? Should I call my husband? What would he do?”
I quickly discovered the rest of the house had no power; I went downstairs and found out it wasn’t a circuit breaker issue.
“It might not be just my house,” I thought.
The neighbors did not have power and were just as concerned and curious to the cause of this situation. Mass CONFUSION and CHAOS was happening in my neck of the woods!
I went back to my house to do my computer work the old fashioned way: paper and pen. My performance was lessened; I felt unsure as to what I should be doing or how I should be functioning.
A knock happens upon my door.
“There’s been a fire at St. Joseph’s hospital! The whole neighborhood has lost electricity!” cries the neighbor. “Who knows when it will be back on!”
Within the human body, there is a cause to a resulting effect within the body: chiropractors call the cause a “subluxation,” or misalignment of the spine causing less nerve communication, and the resulting effect being less
organ and/or body function.
As in the example above, the fire at St. Joseph’s Hospital is the subluxation; the lack of electricity, mass confusion, and chaos at my house would be the effects. Would it make sense to keep flipping light switches or circuit breakers when the cause of the hospital fire needs to be corrected? No, it wouldn’t.
That’s what chiropractors do—we remove the cause of a person’s lessened health state so that the person can FUNCTION better and ultimately BE better. This creates not just a healthier person, but also a healthier community,
and ultimately a healthier planet.
