First of all a BIG THANK YOU to all who have taken the time to read the Blog over the last 6 months. I have really enjoyed telling you all a bit of the everyday life of a Chiropractor.

This will be the last post for the time being. There are “currents” in the World at large who are “stirring it” in the Chiropractic profession. Hence I will not be able to give you any more blogs, for the time being. Hopefully at a later date, I can give you the full story. This does not in any way effect the Clinic.

EVERYTHING IS BUSINESS AS USUAL IN THE CLINIC

Thank you for now.

Healthy Regards,

Ida

Relaxing to some people is like “gold-dust”! They can never chill out, they are allways chasing their tail, and even just the word RELAX seem to bring them out in a rash. You need to relax otherwise you will burn out, and become seriously ill. So my answer, if you have problems with swithing off from everyday life would be: FRIENDS

Good friends should have the ability to relax you, by just being in their company. I have just spent a day in North Lincolnshire with some dear friends of mine.  You know the “put the world to right over some good food” kind of day.

What I would like to share with you good people, is the “Thank you Poem” I received today, after the visit. This style of writing is just perfect to sit and almost meditate on. So here is the original. ENJOY…..

How to become a Zen Master

~

Take lots of years

    Of being ‘laid back’.

Add to this the Buddhist

    Theory of ‘non-doing’.

Live for a long time.

    Read the lovely tales

Of the eccentric Zen Masters

    Of old and their

Anti-logical teachings of

    ‘Non-being’.

Mix in a little of Mr. Miyagi

    And the lovely Yoda.

Create a secret Zen garden

    Far from the madding

Crowd. Adopt the arts of

    Za-zen – ‘just sitting’ -

’non-thinking’ and ‘non-doing’.

    Just listening to the bird song

And the sound of wind in the pines.

    You are now on the path

To becoming a real Zen master.

    Mix in with a little of Thick

Naht Hanh’s philosophy from

    His recent book from Amazon -

‘Nothing To Do Nowhere to go’

    From now on you will be in

‘Perfect harmony with the universe’

And you will be living in Nirvana.

Oh!

        I forgot – Tesco will deliver

When was the last time you were pain free? Do you put up with the pain on a daily basis? Why do you suffer from mechanical aches and pains, when most of them could be sorted out?

Most of us have so many things “to do” everyday, that we forget our self. We put up with the aches that the body gives us, as we are “too busy” or “I will sort it tomorrow” or ” I have no time now “! I am sure you recognize these statements.

But why not SORT IT NOW? You owe it to your body to look after it. It does all it’s daily functions without complaining, so when you get a pain somewhere, it is the body’s was of telling you to “give me a bit of TLC”!

Chiropractic can get rid of most aches in the body in a very short space of time. As a Chiropractor, I deal with back pain, head aches, trapped nerves and sciatica on a daily basis. You name it, I have probably dealt with it over the 17 years I have been in practice.

So give yourself the joy of being PAIN FREE, and discover how GREAT you can feel. Discover how much more you can do on a daily basis, when you do not suffer from aches and pains.

The healing art of CHIROPRACTIC can get rid of aches and pains, without surgery or painkillers. You owe it to your self.

A is a longstanding patient who has not been in the clinic for the last 2 years. She suddenly called last week and needed an appointment NOW. So we booked her in last Wednesday.

She told me she had been totally free of any aches and pains for the last 2 years. Had been busy with allsorts and had almost forgotten about her neck, shoulder, and headaches she used to have on a regular basis.

Anyways, the headaches had returned with a vengeance, and her neck felt totally locked. “Okay” was my reply, “lets get you back to normality”. So I examined her, explained what had happened, and then treated her neck and upper back. Within 5 minutes, the headache she had suffered with the last 2 weeks had gone. And she left the clinic is a very happy frame of mind.

Later that evening, I received this email from A. And I have to say that my life as a Chiropractor just gets better and better with feedback like this from patients. Thank you, A

I shall be spending my Evening at the newest NETWORKING EVENT on the Wirral. www.mywirralhub.org.uk will be the place for any small business person to be tonight. 6 pm start at Bobbie’s Bar in New Brighton.

You are very welcome to show up and get the chance to meet lots of other people.

I will tell you tomorrow about the success!!

Have you ever noticed why some days seem to be so easy, where as other days seem to drag on and everything goes wrong?

You know that feeling of getting “out-of-bed” on the wrong side and the rest of the day, just seem to be wrong!

It is all down to your MENTAL ATTITUDE. Now do not laugh, this is serious stuff. If you expect to have a bad day, it will probably be a rotten one. Because you expected it, so you got what you expected!!

So why not change it to a POSITIVE day? That way you will attract positive things and at the end of the day, you will finish with a big smile on your face. It is as easy as it sounds, I do it everyday! And you know how annoyingly happy I am every day. By thinking positive all day, you have a great day, and by the end of the day, the negativity from the morning is all gone.

So try it. I CHALLENGE YOU. If you wake up tomorrow with that negative head on, think about something great in your life, keep that focus, and the rest of the day will be a breeze.

Happy Smiling and be inspirational to your fellow human beings.

Subject: Fwd: Thank You

WARNING, you may find the following a bit controversial. I do not mean to upset anyone, but I am just highlighting a possible connection between back pain and the “superwoman” of today. So if you have a weak constitution, or get easily offended, you may choose to stop now and come back later!!

Over the years I have seen a number of cases of low back pain suffered by ladies who have been married for many years to, dare I say, “non-house-trained” husbands. Husbands of the generation who expect that the wife does EVERYTHING for them.

Now, I am not in any way, shape or form, saying that the wife is “putting on” the back pain. But, the mechanical pain, is a way for the wife to get a bit of time-out, to recover, to regain some strength.

The pain is very real, often caused by something relatively minor, and it needs proper chiropractic treatment. An aspect the husband will find very frustrating, as he expects her to be better instantly.

So, to you Husbands who may recognize yourself from this little piece. Give her a hug, some help and let her get better in her own time.

To you wife’s, who will be nodding in unison. Tell him you would like another cup of tea, and a bit of peace.
