To Worry Is to Suffer Twice

The Burden of Health Guilt

It is a daily occurrence that clients will unload emotionally and confess that they have done something wrong — perhaps gardening too long or eating a large fatty meal with alcohol. These confessions are not unlike confessing sins to a priest. There is a deep desire to change behaviour and return to the “straight and narrow.”

Understanding Responsibility Without Guilt

Society lives in an age where there is increasing understanding that health and wellbeing are largely in our own hands. Stress — physical, chemical or psychological — pushes people beyond their limits and eventually robs them of calm, placing them in survival mode.

Understanding that individuals are responsible for their health can result in guilt and self-punishment, or it can liberate them to take control and explore life fully. The difference is mindset.

Choosing Liberation Over Shame

Those who had positive health experiences early in life often carry those emotions forward, rewarding themselves through movement, nutritious food and healthy habits. Others carry shame, fear and discouragement into every attempt at exercise or change.

The great news is that it is time to stop. Start anew. Live life well and explore the art of taking control of health.

Prevention Through Regular Care

As people age, spinal stiffness and degeneration affect movement, balance and posture. These changes begin decades before they are obvious. Chiropractic care cannot rebuild damaged tissue or reverse paralysis, but it can help the spine function at its best.

Clients who receive regular chiropractic care at Inspired Chiropractic report better movement, less pain and a greater quality of life as they age. Alongside exercise, diet and stress reduction, chiropractic care helps create a healthier future.
