Stay ahead of the curve! Interesting fact: Our medical system profits more from symptom treatment than prevention.
As a result, little focus is placed on preventative care. I'm going make a connection between two seemingly unrelated things: Carpet Cleaning and Chiropractic.
Jake has been seeing Dr. Nikitow at Nikitow Chiropractic for almost 2 years. As you can imagine, cleaning carpet and moving a steam wand repetitively six days a week, along with lifting the portable units daily, has resulted in shifts in his spine. At first, I thought chiropractic was hokey. However, Dr. Nikitow has really changed my perspective. I am definitely not against Western medicine by any means. However, he has done extensive research with MDs, finding that many of our "symptoms" and common ailments - back pain, asthma, anxiety, headaches...etc. - can be caused by subluxations of the spinal column.
SUBLUXATIONS: tiny, unoticeable kinks in the spinal column that pinch nerve receiptors and force them to function below thier optimum health.
This makes sense to me. Instead of filling our bodies with pill after pill - often with more harmful side effects than they cure! - he starts with the spine, prepping our body for our optimum health.
I started chiropractic care today, and am hoping to shift my paradigm from symptom management to prevention. Jake hasn't been sick since he started chiropractic, I hope I can follow!
So, now for the relation to carpet cleaning. Many clients view carpet cleaning from a symptom management perspective. Carpets are cleaned when they look dirty. Too often customers tell us that they don't even want to think about how long it has been since their last cleaning. However, just like a spinal chord, where silent subluxations can occur without producing any symptoms, our carpet and upholstery acts as a silent filter for our home. Each day, bacteria, dust mites, pollen and dirt collect among the fibers, unseen to the human eye. Months later, family members develop allergy symptoms - a sign that the indoor air quality is less than EPA recommendations. Not to mention, this dust and bacteria in carpet fibers causes friction when treaded upon and speeds up the carpet fiber degeneration.
By focusing on carpet maintenance, and not cosmetic treatment, your family will be taking a large leap towards daily health. And you will be ahead of the curve!
