Pit Crew

Race cars have to have some maintenance to keep them going on the track during a race.  While I may not follow NASCAR, I felt that this was such a great analogy to what we do at All Creatures Chiropractic and Nutrition.

Your body, which is much more important than a race car, requires regular maintenance in your race, too. Your 'race' is daily life. You were put here for a purpose.

"For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."  Ephesians 2:10 NIV

Our job is to help with regular maintenance to keep your body running as well as it can to allow you to do the work you were put here to do.

Regular maintenance includes:

·         **Regularly checking your spine for any imbalances that will effect your nervous system and immune system.  Stress, bumps and bangs, and just general living can take its toll.

·         **Regular nutrition checks to make sure you have the ideal nutritional pieces going into your body.  This can change as you are exposed to different things, increased stress (both physical and mental), and as different layers that need repair are uncovered.  Many people have had years of nutritional imbalance that has resulted in several layers of issues that will take time to restore balance.

·         **Don't forget home maintenance!  This includes feeding your body with real food and good clean water.  Regular nutrition checks can help determine any foods that your body needs you to avoid. Sleep is also a must for proper maintenance; your body requires about 8 hours for an adult (kids need more!). If you are not able to sleep that long your body is telling you to come in for a pit stop!

·         **Your spiritual health is even more important than your body, but both functioning their best will allow you to do the work you were put here to do.  Don’t forget your daily spiritual maintenance.

Just as a race car driver listens to the signals from his pit crew and from the car itself, listen to your own body's signals that it is time to come into for a pit stop.  Remember that sometimes you may miss those small signals and that your pit crew is there to help you fix the small problems before they become big ones so regular tune ups are recommended.

You were put here for a purpose to do good works, just the same as we were put here to do good works.  Our purpose is to help as many people as possible to do the good works that God has for them.  Let us be your pit crew!
