I practice Chiropractic in a principled manner because I’ve always known there is more to this world than meets the eye. It is more than just a physical world. There have been times in my life when I’ve had to look inside and make some hard decisions to step up or shrink down. Each time I step up, I find it tough and challenging but it is so worth it.
The same is true in practice. When I learned about Chiropractic at 19 years old, I was introduced to the modern techniques and modalities. Then I did my own research and had a teacher show me that “other stuff” isn’t needed. I was blown away by the results. How can something so simple be so profound? But that is the nature of life.
I’m a moral person who beats themselves up when I do something wrong or bad. Given that, I couldn’t go into practice doing anything other than Principled Chiropractic. To be honest, I don’t like calling it “Principled” Chiropractic. It’s truly Chiropractic. Everything else has gone off the rails.
That doesn’t make me perfect. I struggle with expressing myself. Sure, I can stand in front of a group and speak my truth, empowering people, and inspiring them. But I’m a listener at heart. That’s why at the table, I listen and engage in small talk. The Chiropractic principle is so profound that making it simple challenges me. How do I make something with such magnitude and depth easy to understand and I stumble over my words?
That’s why adjusting time is sacred time. I don’t want to muck up the connection at the adjustment with foolish words. It’s also why I write because I can organize my thoughts and deliver them in a passionate way. There is waaaaay toooooo much to attempt to communicate during an adjustment.
So why do I practice this way? Because of the enormity, depth, and simplicity of it all. I practice this way because I know that its the right way and best way to practice and anything else would be demeaning to you, me, and the practice of Chiropractic.
