Our 3-Legged Stool (Part 1 of 3)

hey everybody Dr Ellison here

 one of the things we do in

our office is we do a lot of educating

our job we see it as twofold one is to

help people to get well because when

they come in they’re usually in some

form of a crisis state and they need to

get well and we focus on what it takes

to get there but then our bigger job is

to help people to stay well and the way

we help them stay well is to teach and

educate we teach them things that they

need to stop doing and we teach them

things that they need to start doing and

so tonight I’m just going to briefly

tell you about the three-legged stool

now the three-legged stool is what we

use in our office and this is how our

patients get the best results now the

first leg that stool are adjustments

Chiropractic adjustments in Rhythm

meaning keeping their Chiropractic

adjustments because each adjustment

Builds on the last and that’s how the

body will change just like going to work

out each exercise Builds on the last and

you’ll get more and more in shape if you

you continue on but what happens if you

stop working out it doesn’t take too

long before you start to see you start

to lose all of those gains and

eventually you’ll go completely back to

where you were same thing happens with

our spine and our nervous system when we

are not getting consistent adjustments

in Rhythm we start to

lose the benefits of those now again

there’s a lot of people out there that

are just scared and for good reason many

of them in many cases to not want to

come in and we completely understand and

respect that we just want to make sure

that we are there for them and for you

to help make sure that they don’t lose

all that they’ve gained and at the very

least start to slow that process down

and we can do that using the other two

legs of the stool the second leg of the

stool is we need to break our bad habits

what are some of the bad habits that we

do that don’t allow our spine and our

nerve system to function at its best we

sit too much and right now is not a good

time because a lot of people are sitting

watching TV or sitting there on a

computer a lot more watching more movies

and Netflix and they’re doing that a lot

more than they probably and usually do

and so what we want to make sure is we

need to break these bad habits so

sitting is one of the worst things we

can do for ourselves it’s not good for

our nerve system spine and our overall

health so make sure that even if you’re

staying at home you’re getting up and

you’re moving around and you’re doing

different types of just moving the other

bad habits that we’ll do are certain

postural issues and and which again can

prevent the body from and the spine and

nerve system from fun properly another

thing that we need to do and need to

start doing is we need to make sure

we’re doing stretches and exercises and

they’re very specific stretches and

exercises that can help hold the

adjustments that you have spent so much

time energy and money doing over the

last weeks or months or even years and

so make sure you’re doing stretches

you’re doing exercises in fact for our

patients we’re going to be making sure

we send out and emailing specific

stretches an exercise that they all can

be doing so again if you’re out there

and you’re a patient of ours you’ve

probably heard this but we’re going to

make sure that you’re now doing these

things and following up with those

things for those that have not been to

our office or maybe have not been to any

chiropractor these are three things that

we do in our office to make sure people

are getting the best results again focus

on these the three-legged stool if for

whatever reason you can’t get in for

adjustments at this time make sure

you’re doing the other two legs of the

stool and we’re going to make sure when

you can come back and you do come back

that you’ll have lost as little as

possible and we’ll pick back right up

and get you on that path to healing and

health again look forward to seeing you again bye
