And this is why we're seeing people, their spines are breaking down so much more early than they should.

There's people in their forties now that are getting arthritis.

Like that's not normal.

But at the same time, if you've never done anything intentional with your spine for your whole 40 years of life, but you've played sports and you've had accidents, you've had falls.

If you're under stress, your posture is like this because of, you know, computers and things.

Like, what do you think is going to happen?

So the idea is that people don't have to keep coming back.

They choose to keep coming back.

And when you understand what the chiropractic adjustment is doing, bringing balance to your nervous system, realigning your spine, you choose that and you choose it over and over and over again.

Like for me and my family, I would choose a regular, well-aligned adjustment for my family to keep us healthy for the rest of our life.

So when the bones are misaligned, we call that a subluxation, meaning that there is an interference in the alignment of your spine that's not allowing your brain to communicate effectively to your body, right?

So when we're doing an adjustment,

The adjustment is re is re bringing that alignment back into your correct position so that you're reconnecting that the the innate flow of energy or nervous system from the brain to get out to whatever that needs to go to.

So, for example, when I was in high school, again, I didn't know a lot back then.

And this is where you get your football friends, you bear hug each other in the locker room, right?

Or you have them shove against a wall to try to pop their backs or you have people walk on your back.

And I didn't realize how bad that was until I studied the anatomy of the body.

And I was like, oh man, that's not good.

But when you're getting a pop sound, the pop is just a release of gas that's built up in the joint due to excess pressure.

So when the pop happens, the pop doesn't significantly mean that adjustment happened or didn't happen.
