After a decade plus of cracking backs, popping joints, and melting muscles as a chiropractor, there is one phrase I've heard more often than the pop of a well-adjusted vertebra - "Oh nice, I am a believer of chiropractic."  Now that's a head scratcher!

 

Believe? Do we say, "Ah yes, I am a believer of physical therapy," or "I give my faith to the divine practice of dentistry?" Whilst there are indeed some chiropractors practicing their art with a side of voodoo sauce, the majority of us are simply serving up a healthy portion of evidence-based practices, sprinkled with a dash of common sense! 

 

Here's how it goes down in my realm of Common Sense Chiropractic:

 

- When a joint is about as flexible as a fossilized T-rex, we move and groove it. 

- When a muscle is tighter than a hipster's beanie, we loosen it up.

- If a muscle's weaker than your grandma's Wi-Fi signal, we pump it up to full bars. 

- And if your movement pattern is as offbeat as a jazz drummer on a caffeine high, we fine tune that rhythm.

​. . .

So let's embark on this journey together, where we'll break down these supposedly complex concepts into bite-sized, easy-to-digest pieces. We'll navigate the intricacies of life with a sprinkle of simplicity and a big dollop of common sense. We'll discover that sometimes the simplest answers are the most profound. And will learn, common sense is not so common after all. Let's make it more common, shall we?
