Dr. David Asks some important questions of interest to Humble residents - Chiropractor Humble Dr. David Asks...

How do most people deal with subluxations?
First, they try to ignore them. When they don't, they go to the medicine cabinet to stop their brain from feeling the symptom. Later, back surgery may be threatened. Sadly, it's not until this later stage that they consult our Humble chiropractic office. Yet, even with the delay, most are delighted by the results produced by today's chiropractic care. Contact us and let's get started.
What's your plan to deal with drug-resistant 'super germs'?
Chiropractors have always been concerned with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, accelerating the mutation of microbes that make "wonder" drugs increasingly ineffective. My strategy? Do everything possible to bolster my immune system through proper diet, rest, exercise, clean air, pure water and an optimally functioning nervous system with regular chiropractic care.

Forgive for the Health of It!

When we walk around harboring angry and bitter feelings toward someone who has done something hurtful or wrong to us, we hurt ourselves, not the person who committed the wrongdoing. Unresolved anger and resentment manifests itself in the way we live our lives and ultimately, they affect our health and quality of life.

Some issues that affect us deeply go way back. Back to childhood, even. Think of the effects that they have had on so many of our life experiences. Do you want to start anew? Are you interested in shaping how you respond to life from this point forward? Consider the notion of forgiveness. Forgiveness frees us of the burden of resentment and anger; the greater the hurt, the greater the benefits involved in forgiving the one who did the hurting.

Alexander Pope stated, "To err is human; to forgive, divine." Forgiving doesn’t mean forgetting. Forgiving doesn’t mean accepting unacceptable behavior. Forgiving isn’t excusing another’s inexcusable actions. Forgiving is for you. Forgiveness is all about freedom from the one who wronged you. Forgiveness is a way to move on so the hurt no longer controls future life experiences and interactions with others.

The healing benefits of forgiveness include:
  • Decreased stress levels
  • Decreased anger and negative thoughts
  • Decreased anxiety and depression
  • Decreased vulnerability to substance abuse/addictive illness

It may be difficult to work through forgiveness on your own. Talk it out with someone you trust. Mental health professionals can also be useful in assisting you with identifying and forgiving real and/or perceived wrongdoings.

Whatever the hurt…forgiveness is the answer for you.
