Sunflowers & Chiropractic In Greenville SC

This month it's all thing Sunflowers at THINC Chiropractic.

What does chiropractic care in Greenville SC and a sunflower have in common? Well, if you sit for long enough, it becomes pretty clear! A sunflower is a powerful and resilient flower. During it's growing season, the flower must push through the dirt and defend itself against the toxins, threats and pests to eventually stand strong in the sun. It takes hard work for this sunflower, day in and day out, to flourish and grow, but the flower was designed with everything it needs to power thru. "Nature needs no help, just no interference". In the end, the sunflower stands tall and strong. So where's the comparison?

We are in fact very similar to sunflowers. As humans, we must power thru. We encounter toxins (allergies, chemicals, foods), traumas (macro and micro traumas), and thoughts (pests and stress), that burden our growth and ability to power thru and stand tall. As you know, a subluxation is formed over time due to toxins, thoughts and traumas. If we don't remove the subluxations in our way, we won't be able to power thru and stand tall! (literally stand tall with those 3 perfect curves in our spine!) At the end of the day, chiropractic is about you standing in your sun. Be the best version of yourself and allow your body and nervous system to function just as it was designed to.

The Power Of Chiropractic In Greenville SC

On September 18, 1895 chiropractic was officially born! We can't wait to celebrate Chiropractic's birthday the week of Sept. 19 in office! Check out this post on the History of Chiropractic.

Chiropractic is a powerful approach to health. Given our current trajectory in health, USA spends TRILLONS of dollars more than any other country on health care, yet we are the sickest. We consume 80% of the world's prescription drugs and have the most habitual health concerns. As a nation, we've grown to assume we need medications daily just to function properly. Nearly 30% of children, now take a daily medication?! Why aren't we functioning well?

Chiropractic is a natural alternative that thousands of people are turning towards because they're sick of the current medical model, a reactive approach that doesn't fix the root cause. Over 1,000,000 adjustments are conducted daily! Here's some stats to celebrate the power of chiropractic:

• Chiropractic techniques are 40% more effective than medical care when it comes to treating lower back pain.
• Visiting a chiropractor regularly reduces your pharmaceutical costs by 85%.
• In a comparative-effectiveness trial, 94% of chiropractic patients experienced a 30% reduction in their pain, compared with only 54% of medical care recipients.
• It is estimated chiropractors treat more than 35 million Americans (adults and children) annually.
• In a comparative-effectiveness trial, 94% of chiropractic recipients experienced a 30% reduction in their pain, compared with only 54% of medical care recipients.
• A study published in Pain Medicine looked at the rates of opioid usage among veterans before and after starting chiropractic care. 31% of veterans studied had been prescribed opioids, 56% were in moderate to severe pain, and 20% were diagnosed with a substance abuse disorder. What researchers found was astonishing: the rate of opioid usage among these veterans significantly dropped within the first month of starting chiropractic care.
