5 Reasons Why Students Need Chiropractic

Each month in 2014, Nardi Family Chiropractic is bringing you 5 Reasons Why You Need Chiropractic.  This month’s Back to School edition shares 5 reasons why your student needs Chiropractic.  

1.  Falling asleep in class can be detrimental to your health

When we talk about trauma’s affecting your nerve system and life, far too often we think about the big stuff, auto-accidents, sports injuries, and slips and falls.  Ever wonder what happens when you hit your head on the desk the class after lunch? Microtrauma is the unnoticed, little injuries that your body absorbs and experiences from daily living. The ways you bend, lift, sit, stand, push, pull, twist and turn, every day, all day. Micro-trauma is best described as “wear and tear.”

The effects of micro-trauma on the spine can result in misalignments in the spine (subluxations), lost function, decreased immunity, lowered resistance, and/or reduced health and life to varying degrees.

2.  All-nighters

Parents, we were students once also; we all know that pulling an all nighter is part of the school experience.  But forcing yourself to do so changes our sleep habits, causes unnecessary stress on the spine from sitting, and leads to chemical toxicities if allowed to continue (you know, taking “no-doze” like candy, coffee, Jolt, or coca-cola for added caffeine)  Not to mention the micro-trauma sustained when you hit your head on the desk (commonly referred to as “studying by osmosis”)

Listen you are going through an all-nighter at some point, you may as well be sure that the body is at 100% potential before and after the event so that you can absorb as much as possible when you do.

3.  Learning is about more than books and school

Our children learn the most by watching what we do and repeating it.  They also repeat your healthy (and unhealthy) habits.  We’re here to help you keep your body in top form.  Bring them into your appointment and get them checked also and begin them on teh road to a healthier life through Chiropractic.  They also learn from experience, so let them experience what good health is now and get used to what that feels like.  That way, when they are out of your house and begin to experience what poor(er) health is, they’ll already know what to do about it and achieve the exceptional levels of health they are used to.

4.  Life has more to do with living and less to do with education

We all need school, textbooks, and tests.  History, math, reading, and other subjects we learn in school is called “Educated Intelligence”.  It’s the stuff we can regurgitate and spit out on a standardized test of propaganda.

Then there is “Innate Intelligence”.  This is what makes a life.  “Innate Intelligence” or simply, “Innate” runs your body, your heart, your lungs, pumps your blood, makes you breathe and heals you without you having to think about it.  If you had to beat your own heart 60 times every minute of every day of every year of your life, could you do it?  Obvisously not.  Thankfullly we have an “Innate Intelligence” that handles it for us.

It will also guide us through our life and tell us exactly what we need to do for the good when we listen to it.  It is often a whisper rather than a voice and it always works for our good and to our advantage.

5.  Grades won’t get you a spouse

When was the last time you heard someone make a romantic statement about “marrying for the grades”?  Romance is a state of the heart, a state of being that comes from cultivation, not education.  The old statement “You’ll know when you know” is true, but can’t be taught from a book, only through living and experience.  Keeping your innate intelligence flowing at 100% and learning to listen to that wee small voice inside is Chiropractic.  Listening to that voice, will not only find you a spouse, but it will find you your lifelong mate.

Stay tuned next month when we discuss Halloween safety tips.

During the month of September, Nardi Family Chiropractic will be at New Hartford Day, Sam Collins Day and Avon Day as part of our community outreach programming.  We’ll be raising funds and awareness for various charities and civic organizations.  Please send your friends and family members to meet us, learn more about Chiropractic, and begin their journey to better health and a better life.

Also in September, in the office, we’ll be supporting Avon Social Services by collecting school supplies, prividing your kdis with a Backpack Safety / ice cream social event, and giving away an iPad.  We look forward to seeing you in the office.
