Thanksgiving – From Our Family to Yours

Thanksgiving – From Our Family to Yours

We are only one week away from Thanksgiving, our friends! We can’t believe it either! In last week’s blog, we got to talk about the importance of listening to our bodies. In this week’s blog, we want to spice it up and give you a challenge!

Opportunity to Serve at Thanksgiving

In today’s society that often asks, “What can others do for me?”… we challenge you to flip the question right side up. We want you to start asking yourself, “How can I serve others today?” There are a million of opportunities every day to serve just one person. Whether that be tipping your waiter a little extra, or paying for the car behind you, or helping an elderly woman bring groceries to her car, or putting your husband’s shoes back where they belong (without saying anything), or even picking up random trash on the ground… you have the incredible opportunity to serve someone.

Domino Effect

The definition of a domino effect states that when you make a change to one behavior, it will activate a chain reaction and cause a shift in related behavior as well. Both our thoughts and behaviors are interconnected… so when you change one, others will also shift. We believe that once you start asking yourself, “How can I serve others today?”… every other single area of your life will begin to improve. Because serving out of a selfless heart is contagious! Pretty soon, you’ll be at work… thinking about different ways you are able to go the extra mile to help your co-workers or grow the business. Soon, you’ll be at home… just brainstorming ways of how you can serve your family. Pretty soon, you’ll be at your neighbor’s house… just doing their dishes because you see the need and immediately start to fill it.

Out-do One Another

Even as we take care of you here at Corrective Chiropractic, our goal is to always out-do one another in love, humility, and service. It is a privilege to be able to serve you, your children, your neighbors, your co-workers, and your friends. Thank you for allowing us to be a small part of your health journey. We really feel like you are a part of our FAMILY!

Listen to Your Body

Listen to Your Body

We love the quote, “Listen to your body… it is smarter than you.” It is so true! In fact, if there is only one thing that you take away from this blog – let it be this… LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!

Made to Heal and Thrive

Your body is always FOR YOU and never against you! It was made to heal and thrive. Think about it! When we get a papercut on our finger, our body closes the wound in order to avoid getting an infection. Then… our body defends, cleans, repairs, and heals itself. Similarly, when there are changing conditions happening within our body, we yawn. While it is widely believed that yawning is a response of tiredness or boredom, further research shows that yawning is a way to help our mind and body transition from one behavioral state to another – sleep to wakefulness, wakefulness to sleep, anxiety to calm, boredom to alertness.

Learn to Listen to Your Body

Let’s take our last thought a little further. When we get a headache, our body is trying to tell us something. More often than not, we are probably dehydrated and just need some water. But here’s what we know to be true – we don’t tell our bodies to heal our wounds. We don’t decide to yawn. We don’t even learn how to get a headache. Our bodies are just innately smart… you tracking with me? Our bodies give us signs. All we have to do? Learn how to slow down and listen.

Regular Chiropractic Care

When our patients are under regular chiropractic care – their bodies begin to THRIVE. Through specific chiropractic adjustments, our job as your Chiropractor focuses on removing interferences to your nervous system. Living out a chiropractic lifestyle empowers our patients to start listening to their bodies… sometimes, for the first time in years. As a result, they start doing the things that they have always dreamed of doing. They have a new “normal.” They adapt and respond better to stress. Lastly, they start trusting their body to do what it does best – HEAL!

The Power of 10 minutes

On average, our patients spend about 10-15 minutes in our office. For the majority of our patients, those 10-15 minutes is usually the only time they set aside for themselves. Through the busyness of juggling work… with kids… with side hustles – it’s safe to say that life can get a little crazy sometimes. I’m sure we missed a million things in the middle, too. With that being said, we are so humbled with our patients’ commitment to consistent chiropractic care in the midst of every other commitment. It is so easy for us to forget about our own health – especially when we are really good at taking care of others. So, if you think that you don’t have enough time or enough money for chiropractic care… we encourage you to switch your perspective to start seeing the POWER of just 10 minutes.

Thankful to Serve You

Thankful to Serve You

To start off the month of November… we think it is only fitting to give our thanks. As your local Chiropractor, we will never stop sharing our gratitude for the gift that it is to serve you. We are so thankful for the opportunity we have to educate and empower you – because it doesn’t even feel like a “job” to us. Believe it or not… we learn a lot from just being around you and watching you do your thing! In today’s blog… we have written down a handful of occupations that our patients hold. We encourage you to find your job occupation and read a short snippet of why we are overflowing in thanksgiving for you!

To our Health-Care Worker…

You are some of the most generous people we have ever known! Day in and day out, we see you giving out a heart of service. Most often, you are up hours before the sun rises and sets. You continue to show up in the unknown and uncomfortable. Thank you for all that you do and the sacrifices you make in the name of health!

To our Tradesman…

You are some of the most humble people we have ever known! You know how to do anything and everything. And even if not, you find a way to do it yourself. You would do anything for anybody – because that’s just who you are. It’s safe to say – you are the very backbone of our nation. We are thankful for all that you do and thank you for showing up in the hard and messy!

To our Teacher…

 

Teachers are some of the most selfless people we have ever known! You do what you do for the love of students. You are more than teacher… but mentor, mediator, event planner, counselor, motivator, parent, cheerleader, role model, and a real-life superhero. Your everyday impact transcends the here and now… but gives way to generations! Thank you for all that you do and the many “hats” you wear!

To our Stay-at-Home Mom / Dad…

Stay- at- home parents are some of the most sacrificial people we have ever known! You juggle it all. You teach your children healthy habits, keep them well nourished, and meet every little need. Seeds are planted that don’t reap right away and trust that they will produce fruit in due time. We are thankful for all that you do and your behind-the-scenes work that is often overlooked!

To our Trainer…

You are some of the most passionate people we have ever known! When it comes to health and fitness, you walk the walk and talk the talk. You seek discipline over motivation. You see people at their lowest and still help them see their highest potential. Your energy is contagious and your accountability makes people better. Thank you for all that you do and investing in the health of others!

To our Entrepreneur…

You are some of the most resilient people we have ever known! You have shown us that success isn’t always linear… but more often than not, the complete opposite. And all the while, you never let failure or setbacks keep you from seeing your goal through to the very end. Thank you for all that you do and the leadership you leave behind!

To our Business Professional…

Business professionals are some of the most determined people we have ever known! You have shown us hustle and discipline like no other. You are patient in order to move with the fluctuation and daily demands of business. And in-between all those phone calls and emails, you make decisions that continue to move your company forward. Thank you for all that you do and how your focus makes us want to follow footsteps behind!

To our CEO…

You are some of the most hard-working people we have ever known! Instead of making excuses, you take responsibility and ownership for every single action you take. You are focused, yet adaptable,  bold, yet receptive, and ambitious, yet steadfast. You have a million things on your mind, yet you know the importance of being in the moment. Thank you for all that you do and all that you teach us!

To our Engineer…

You are some of the most intelligent people we have ever known! You are creative and clever. Your work and attention to detail constantly impresses us. We are thankful for all that you do to and for pursuing valuable innovations that advance the way we use products or perform tasks!

To our Social Worker…

You are some of the most intentional people we have ever known! You take the time to listen… to really listen. You provide insight and access to resources that lead to improved quality of life. Most encouragingly, you advocate and provide a voice for others. Thank you for all that you do and the endless help and grace you give away!

To our Student, Pro, & Olympic Athletes…

Student and athlets are some of the most ambitious people we have ever known! You are a go-getter and not afraid to chase after Lion-sized dreams. You are consistent in your sport and the things that set your heart on fire. Thank you for all that you do and inspiring us to never let our lamp go out at night!

Pace Yourself

Pace Yourself

In today’s blog, we are going to keep it short and simple. You ready? You (yes, you!) are allowed to pace yourself. In fact, we encourage you too. Here at Corrective Chiropractic, we will always remind you that good things take time. We are not after quick fixes or fast races to the finish. We are in this thing for the long haul, friends! No shortcuts or sitting sidelines or sugar coating around here.

100-Mile Race – Pace Yourself

For those of you may not know… our Founder (Dr. Austin Cohen – Buckhead Doctor) just completed a 100-mile race on Saturday. You heard us right… 100 miles! You might be thinking, “Only crazy people would run 100 miles.” And you are probably right! There are only a handful of people who would CHOOSE to run 100 miles for the fun of it. With that being said, only a handful of people will get to experience the crazy character-building, mental-strengthening, and endurance-sharpening that comes from completing a 100-mile race.

Everyone thinks they can run 100 miles until they are tested by freezing cold temperatures, crazy elevation, lactic acid build-up, and the extreme fatigue of running for 30 hours – without stopping. Yet, it is only those who are willing to train relentlessly, fuel their bodies with nutritious foods consistently, and commit to proper recovery regularly… that will be fully prepared to run 100 miles.

It’s often said that when you toe the start line of running a marathon, every mile you have ever run EVER has led up to that exact moment. When you are running a race of such complexity, your training goes back way further than just your typical 16-week training plan. Most of you probably saw Dr. Austin’s weekly Strava training highlights or sweet Instagram finish line pictures. However, most of us did not see the dedication to early morning training for 26 weeks, behind-the-scenes work to rest and recover, or sacrifice with friends and family.

Glory in the Grind

We tell you that story in hopes that it would encourage you to do hard things! Whether that’s in your life, faith, or health journey – we challenge you to do the ONE thing that scares you the most. For you, that might look like creating an exercise routine for the first time in your whole life. It might look like going 30 days without purchasing / shopping. It might even look like going to your local Chiropractor to find the root cause of your health issues. Whatever it is and wherever you are in your hard thing… remember to pace yourself.

This life is a marathon, not a sprint. You are allowed to pace your over-comings, your work, and YOUR HEALING! If there’s one thing we know to be true, it’s that there is glory in the grind. One day, you will look back and see that it was the hardest things in your life that actually shaped you the most. We believe in you!

Taking Care of Yourself

Taking Care of Yourself

First thing’s first! You, our friend, are important! If no one has told you lately, we want to remind you of your worth. You are seen, loved, and designed in perfection. We care so deeply about your spine and nervous system because we care so deeply about YOU! We always want you to feel loved and welcomed to come into our practice as you are. Wherever you are in your individual health and wellness journey… we promise to meet you exactly where you are at.

Showing up Different

Here at Corrective Chiropractic, we are committed to showing up for our patients. Every single day, we will give you our full attention and mindfulness. As Chiropractors, this profession is more than removing interferences to your nervous system. It is about connecting with our patients on every level.  We educate and empower you in your health choices. It is about helping you heal. It is about showing up – differently. When you lay down on our adjustment table, we see you as lacking in NOTHING. We simply exist to facilitate in your healing process. We will never, ever take credit for the healing ourselves. When your body is in the right environment, it will heal on its own. That’s the beauty of the way our bodies were created in the first place!

Doing Your Part to Take Care of Yourself

We have all heard the saying, “You get out what you put in.” While this isn’t always true in every situation or given circumstances, we do agree to some extent. Don’t get it wrong… chiropractic adjustments are essential to restore normal body function. However, taking care of yourself goes far beyond the adjustment table. We are constantly educating our patients on the importance of creating healthy lifestyle habits.

Did you know? When you do this, you are actually saying YES to yourself. Before you can take care of anyone else… you have to, have to, have to, take care of you! We highly encourage you to write down (Yes! Pen and paper, people!) 3 healthy habits that you are committed to doing on a daily basis. Starting small is the best way to stay consistent. If you are currently a patient of ours… then you know there are specific things we will recommend for you to do outside of our four walls. These things are recommended to help you in your healing process. Doing your part will stretch you (especially if you have a busy schedule or work life)… but we can confidently stand witness that it will not be done in vain. We are better, together! Don’t forget it.

Healthy Children Grow Up to be Healthy Adults

Healthy Children Grow Up to be Healthy Adults

We love the saying, “Healthy children grow up to be healthy adults.” It is so true! If you are a parent, you understand the importance of teaching your children healthy habits. From encouraging them to eat nutrient-dense foods, to moving their bodies, to staying hydrated, to not staring at a screen for hours at a time – they are learning what helps them thrive. However, they might not fully understand the importance of health as it relates to having a healthy spine and nervous system. Here at Corrective Chiropractic, we want to change the narrative when it comes to approaching health. We believe that regular chiropractic care is essential for your child’s overall function as they grow up to become healthy adults.

Are Chiropractic Adjustments Safe?

Parents, if you have never been to a Chiropractor yourself before… let us assure you that chiropractic adjustments are very safe. Adjustments for our little ones look very different from those for adults. Our Doctors here at Corrective Chiropractic use an extremely gentle technique, specific to babies and children. With today’s generation of advanced (and even online) learning, children are using technology and devices almost as much or more than adults. This creates a posture that we like to call “text neck.” Over time… this abnormal posture can not only lead to stiff muscles and neck pain, but it can also cause neurological dysfunction and early spinal degeneration. With that being said, we recommend adding in chiropractic care alongside all of your other healthy habits.

The Gift of Going Second

As big influences in our children’s lives, they will often mirror the habits that we create in our own lives. So let us not neglect the power of our position and influence! Once we start prioritizing our health as adults, we then give our children the “gift of going second.” The gift of going second is a result of leaders giving others a clear path to follow, first. Whether it’s in health, relationships, work, or just life… we encourage you to watch for opportunities where going first actually blesses, encourages, and serves others behind you.

Importance of Regular Chiropractic Adjustments

The Importance of Regular Chiropractic Adjustments

When you think of chiropractic care… What is the first thing that comes to mind? Low back pain… neck pain... maybe even migraines? For us, it’s actually the complete opposite. We think of miracles! Why? Because we get to witness the miracles that happen when our patients trust THEMSELVES. Here are some key things about getting regular chiropractic adjustments.

Regular Chiropractic Adjustments are Here to HELP You Function

At Corrective Chiropractic, we will never stop reminding our patients of the beautiful intelligence that is inside of each and every one of you! The truth is… you are incredibly unique! With that being said, we are here to HELP you function. As Chiropractors, our job is to provide specific, evidence-based chiropractic adjustments. But don’t be fooled… we don’t deserve the credit. You were literally designed to function optimally, to heal, and to live out that unique purpose of yours! We assist by removing the interference so that your body is in the right environment to be able to heal as designed. You tracking with us?

Getting Your Nervous System Checked

Friends & family, we genuinely care about your low back pain, neck pain, and migraines. In fact, it hurts us to see you hurting. However… we want to shift your mindset from chasing symptoms to creating healthy habits in your life. Like brushing your teeth, getting proper sleep, drinking water, and moving your body. However, one healthy habit that we neglect is getting our nervous system checked on a regular basis. Why? Because we often forget about what we cannot see AKA our spine and nervous system.

The Brain and Body Communication

Simply put, your nervous system is the body’s communication system that controls much of what your body does. Everything that you do is determined by what is happening in your nervous system. Think about it! Your nervous system is accountable for the way in which you experience senses, taste, smell, touch, sound, and sight. From the way you move, to the function of your organs… your nervous system is the control center of your body. So why not pay much attention to it, right?

We Committed to Serving You with Regular Chiropractic Adjustments and So Much More

Before we go… we want to encourage you with this, “You are seen and you are valued.” If no one has told you that lately, we want to be the first! We have no clue if you are dealing with extreme hip pain, headaches, a colic-y baby, vertigo, low energy, digestive issues, or all of the above. However, we want to be a small part of your health journey! Together, we will get to the root cause of your health issues. Here at Corrective Chiropractic... we are committed to serving our community so that you can live life more fully.

Don’t be shy… call us today! We are waiting on you!

Why Do Chiropractic Adjustments Feel So Good?

Why Do Chiropractic Adjustments Feel So Good?

You’ve noticed it and boy… have we noticed it, right back. We’ve seen it in you, just like we’ve seen it in all of our patients! There’s something special about a chiropractic adjustments that just feel so good. Day after day, our sweet patients leave this practice with a spring in their step and a renewed sense of vigor and vitality. But how can this be? How can an adjustment lead to the surge of well-being that our clients experience on a daily basis? We’ve got an analogy for you… so let us explain!

The Spine: The Highway of the Nervous System

Think of your spine as the nervous system’s very own highway.
Every day… billions of cars (or nerve impulses) travel up and down this highway. Their job is to transmit data to and from the brain. You see, when your spine is in a state of proper alignment, these “cars” are able to flow freely.

However, when your spine is misaligned due to interference (daily stress, toxins, injuries, etc.)… it can slow the traffic down all the way to a crawl. When this happens, it can have adverse effects on the nervous system. But it doesn’t just stop there! Because the nervous system also controls the endocrine and immune systems, it can have adverse effects there, too. Sure, we see things such as poor mobility and pain. But this is when we also start to see things such as headaches, low energy, and even depression.

A chiropractic adjustment can feel like that wonderful moment where heavy traffic begins to ease on the highway. Finally! You are free to resume your journey, free of the stress and frustration of being stuck in traffic. However, we are oftentimes not even aware of the wear and tear that has been done to our spine and the systems dependent on it… UNTIL it has been rectified.

You Can Heal and We Can Help!

Our professional and personable team of chiropractors are well versed in the role that spinal health can play in maintaining a healthy nervous system. With their help, you too can enjoy the natural feeling of well-being that comes with regular chiropractic adjustment.

One of the Fastest Growing Companies in America

One of the Fastest Growing Companies in America

“With over 70,000 chiropractic practices in the United States alone, making Inc.’s 5,000 fastest growing companies seems like a shot in the dark – not for the award-winning staff at Corrective Chiropractic, who were recently named as the 3,926th fastest company in the country. The Inc. Magazine’s prestigious designation comes at the heels of Corrective Chiropractor opening its newest location in Marietta, GA, adding to the growing list of 8 locations in Georgia, South Carolina, and Colorado.”

Corrective Chiropractic Mission

The mission of Corrective Chiropractic has been to educate, empower, and inspire our communities. We want  to lead a proactive life through the principles of Chiropractic. The Founder of Corrective Chiropractic, Dr. Austin Cohen, shepherded well by prioritizing his Buckhead community at the center of his practice. At each location, community is the reason why our Corrective Chiropractic Doctors wake up in the morning. While our primary job as Chiropractors is to adjust our patients, we know that getting rid or relieving the pain will never be enough.

Fastest Growing Company Making a Difference

As a “teacher” in the profession, Corrective Chiropractic keeps our sight fixed on making a difference. Each Doctor, at each location, lives this out practically by having conversations with one’s patients about the real costs and adverse effects of medications versus the cost of chiropractic care. Our Doctors assist in changing the narrative by shifting one’s perspective from only thinking “right here, right now” to thinking long-term. Lastly, we are going out into the community to purposefully educate and empower people of all ages (especially our patients) to take action on their health. How? By encouraging them to take steps towards owning and managing a life with vitalism.

Thinking Long-Term as One of the Fastest Growing Companies

In conclusion, one of the most impactful ways that we, as Corrective Chiropractic Chiropractors, continue to serve our communities is by not making the mistake of thinking in terms of one generation. As Chiropractors, thinking in terms of one generation is not only shortsighted, but selfish. Sometimes, we can think that what we do for us is solely for us. It is… but it isn’t. It’s also for the third and fourth and fifth generations.

Healthy Communities for Generations

While we often think about right here and right now, Corrective Chiropractic aims to think about generation upon generation. Together, we fight for dreams that are bigger than what we alone can accomplish in our lifetime. For Corrective Chiropractic, the bigger the dream, the longer the timeline. Yes, it all starts right here in Georgia. However, the goal is to continue to raise healthy up communities for generations to come!
