Health is defined as "mental, physical, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmities". In short, health is how well your body works - mentally, physically, and socially. NOTE: IT'S NOT HOW GOOD YOU FEEL!
Total Health Chiropractic recognizes 5 ASPECTS OF HEALTH:
Properly working NERVOUS SYSTEM
Aerobic and Anaerobic EXERCISE
Proper NUTRITION
Adequate REST AND RELAXATION
and a POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE
Judging your health by how you feel is a poor measure of your health. This is symptom based care and is also what modern medicine is based upon.
Learn to ask "Why?".
Making a symptom stop with a drug does not make you any healthier. The problem is still there, you just don't have the symptom anymore. Is your body working optimally? NO! You simply made the symptom stop and it will usually return.
Why are these symptoms happening?
Why do I feel this way?
What is the CAUSE of these symptoms?
I assure you that your headaches are not the result of an aspirin shortage in your body.
Correcting these problems instead of merely covering up your symptoms is the real way to improve your health. Most problems are caused by an irritated nervous system that is not working properly.
