Where the Magic Happens

No! Not like that! Ha.

And no, not like that illustrated in the picture, though that may be how some people view Chiropractic.

The “magic” of Chiropractic is found in consistency. Results come through putting in the “reps.” It’s human physiology. It’s life… every process takes time. Just like eating ‘A’ salad or going for ‘A’ jog will not likely help you lose those 10 pounds you may have gained over the holidays, ‘A’ Chiropractic adjustment or appointment in the office, may not move the needle to your desired goals.

It’s like the "overnight success” that takes 10 years to happen.

No, care plans in our office are not typically 10 years. In fact, we’ve never mapped one out that long. But, we do care plan. We do map out a strategy and course of action specifically and individually designed for each kiddo we see. And the formula for this is pretty straightforward. It’s our clinical findings plus your goals equals the plan of care. Another way of saying it is we look at where you are and where you’d like to be, and chart a course of care to help guide you (you kiddo) there.

And I think it’s worth mentioning (again) here… it’s life. This is a pretty timeless principle. I’ve heard it said, and have even said myself that “success favors the prepared,” but not if the “prepared” do nothing. A desire without action is just a dream. And we can wish, want, and wait all we want in life, but without putting in the work, we’re probably not going to get very far.

We’ve been so blessed to have had the opportunity to help so many families on their health journeys. But, we can’t really take the credit, at least not entirely. The “miraculous” result you may have seen on one of our platforms has come from the commitment of consistency of the families we serve.

We plan the work, and they work the plan.

I’m curious how this might resonate with you? Have you ever looked at care, or diet, or exercise, or health, or life in terms of consistency? Like, maybe what you do may not always be as important as the fact that you just keep doing it.

And this brings up the idea of “cumulative effect,” which is coming soon.

We’d love to hear from you. Drop is a comment below and let us know your thoughts.
