“The Green Bay Packers never lost a game… we just ran out of time.” – Vince Lombardi. Coach Lombardi’s quote sums up his unwavering belief in his team’s ability to win every game, if given enough time to execute their winning game plan. Chiropractors hold a similar, unwavering belief in your body’s Innate ability to heal.
The 6th Principle in Chiropractic states “there is no process which does not require time,” including the healing process. BJ Palmer (the developer of Chiropractic) believed that given enough time and a clear nerve system the body could heal itself in just about any situation. In his mind, the Innate Wisdom of the body had the potential to win any healing game if just given a chance. This concept is central to all successful Chiro- practic care plans.
If you’ve gone a few days or a few weeks under care and see only minimal results, don’t give up. Have faith that your body has a winning game plan for your recovery. The power that made your body knows all the plays to get you healthy and whole again. It won’t lose the game if you don’t allow time to run out.
