Self-Responsibility

According to the World Health Organization, the United States ranks 72nd among industrialized nations in overall health. Which leads us to the question: do we really even have a health care system OR do we have a SICK CARE system? Nearly 50% of our population can claim they have a chronic dis-ease/condition! What does that mean? It means that most Americans wait until they have a full-blown crisis to do anything about their health.
A colleague who is now a college President surveyed all of his patients on their first visit to his office. He asked: “What is your number one priority in your life?” 99% of people responded with one of the following: family, career, or faith. He would then ask them, “If you didn’t have your health, what then would be your number one priority?”
If health is our number one priority when we don’t have it, then why not make it our number one priority when we DO have it? Why wait until we are in a full-blown crisis? The top 3 killers WORLDWIDE (heart disease, cancer, diabetes) are ALL preventable and in most cases reversible with LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS!!!
So what’s our plea? TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, AND WORK WITH US OVER TIME TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFESTYLE TO LIVE THE GREATEST, BEST, LONGEST LIFE YOU CAN IMAGINE!!! How do you achieve this? Ask questions about your; chiropractic care, nutrition, fitness, and mind-body Wellness, and everything will fall into place!
