The Gift of Giving Back

Last week, we got to talk about the “Celebrating Community for the Holidays.” If you haven’t had a chance to read it… we really encourage you to go and read all about it! However, this week, we get to talk about the “Gift of Giving Back.” Here at Corrective Chiropractic, we want to be extra intentional about giving back this holiday season. Whether that be doing a canned food drive, sponsoring a family in need, donating to a local charity, or serving our local community… our aim is to help keep hope and joy alive!

Filling the Gap

Our why behind being extra intentional about giving back this year is because we want to fill the gap. Single parents need it. Families need it. Small businesses need it. Our community needs it! So, no matter what Corrective Chiropractic office you call “home,” be sure to see what we are doing to give back. Since we are all located in different areas, we have each chosen different ways to fill the gap where we are at.

What We are Doing for Giving Back

Our Sandy Springs office is helping prevent hunger locally with CAC. The Woodstock office is doing a canned food drive for a local elementary school and doing the giving tree. Our Decatur office is gathering donations for Friends of Refugees Christmas store and partnering with DFACS to do an Angel Tree. Our Buckhead office is holding a blanket drive and making goody bags for the homeless in Atlanta.

Do What You Can

We can all agree that this year has been challenging. Most likely, we have all struggled financially in some shape or fashion. So as we give back… we ask you to do what you can, with what you are able, as it makes sense to you and your family. If you are in the position to give abundantly more this year… do it! If you are only able to donate one can… do it! No matter what you decide to give or donate, we are so thankful for your generosity and kindness. We truly are better together. There’s no denying that we are blessed to call you our patients!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, Turkey’s! We are just so grateful for each and every single one of you! We hope that this holiday is filled with thanksgiving, family, friends, fellowship, nourishing food, and some delicious dessert (of course).

Thanksgiving Traditions

We don’t know what your Thanksgiving traditions are, but we want to share one of our favorites with you! Whether gathering in person or virtual this year – go around the table (or Zoom call) with your friends or family to share three things that you are thankful for this year. Not only does this help us see the good, but it also allows us to be grateful for the gifts we have so graciously been given. This is such a fun tradition to do… especially with your children! Their answers always guarantee some good giggles and remind us, as adults, to keep the child-like joy of our children.

Reach Out

We encourage you to take this day to reach out to the people who either have or has had an impact in your life. This day is more than grandma’s famous stuffing or pecan pie. Instead, we hope that Thanksgiving is a day that we cherish the ones who have helped shape, steady, and strengthen us. We are who we are because of those closest to us and our circle of influence.

It Takes a Village

We’ve all heard the quote, “It takes a village to raise a child.” We couldn’t agree more! Similarly, we believe that it takes a village to approach one’s health. We are so thankful to play a tiny role in your health journey! Trust us, we will never take it for granted. Providing true healthcare to you and your family is what we are thankful for every day… but especially today! More than that, we are thankful that you show up! Sometimes, it’s hard to invest in our health. But we are thankful that you choose to show up and commit to consistent chiropractic care! We wouldn’t be here without you. You are our family. For that, we are forever thankful!

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.

Why Quick-Fixes Aren’t the Answer

The truth is… the society that we live in today is all about “quick-fixes.” You know what we are talking about, right? Microwaves, meal replacement shakes, fast food, Netflix, one-hour photos – you name it, you’ve probably got it (or at least have access to it)! But it doesn’t just stop there. This “quick-fix” society also spills over into the way we approach our health. We want to feel better and NOW! So we take pills for things like headaches, indigestion, trouble sleeping, poor skin, and anxiety.

Quick Fixes – I Want It Now

While medicine most certainly has its place in our world, it shouldn’t always be our first grab-n-go. Sure… this “I want it now!” society might seem like a more easy and efficient way of life. However, our desire for instant gratification or immediate relief can actually put us under more stress in the long run. Furthermore, this compulsion makes us feel an even greater need to condense our schedules by utilizing any shortcuts available to us.

Mindset Shift

But what if we began to shift our mindset? What if we learned to not expect immediate results? Nothing worth having or accomplishing will come easy or overnight. Let’s face it – living healthier and more authentic lives takes long practices. Some days, it will be hard to do the things that take time. But that’s when we speak truth over ourselves: “Our health is an investment and not an expense.” That’s when we remember that success is a consequence, not a goal. If we shoot for purely success, we start wrong. That’s when we look in front of the mirror and say our positive affirmations.

Healing Takes Time

Now, when it comes to healing – things take time! We get it – that’s hard to hear sometimes. When we are in pain – all we want is a miracle or an overnight remedy. But, friends! We are here to encourage you that that type of health is not sustainable. ⁣In fact, we often remind our patients that their symptoms or discomfort didn’t arise in one day and they most likely won’t go away in one day. Here at Corrective Chiropractic, we are focused getting to the ROOT cause of our health concerns takes time, repetition, and consistency.

How Does Chiropractic Help

If you are new to chiropractic, it is designed on the concept of vitalism! It is believed that the body has an Innate Intelligence to healing. We all have this innate ability to heal OURSELVES. It comes from within! We just have to give it the right environment and remove the interference. Dis-ease occurs when the body’s natural ability to adapt to life’s forces (stress, environmental toxins, traumas) is interrupted. Through specific chiropractic adjustments, we remove those subluxations that interfere with the normal function of your nervous system. Now, this is true healing! The cool thing about healing from the inside-out is that you will not only begin to FEEL better, but your whole body starts FUNCTIONING better.
