You’re probably scratching your head and wondering “What on earth does ‘get spizzed’ mean?” “Spizz” is a shortened form of “spizzerinctum” which is a word created by B.J. Palmer to describe enthusiasm and excitement about chiropractic. So what is there to get so excited about? See if any of these reasons get you spizzed.
Reason #1: Chiropractic works!
Chiropractic treatment is at least as effective as and often better than conventional methods for the management of back pain without the negative side effects. But chiropractic is also great for other complaints including headaches, sleep problems, neck pain, and so much more.
Reason #2: Chiropractic is cost-effective
A lot of people worry about rising healthcare costs. Chiropractic care costs little, but provides great health benefits. Studies have shown that people under chiropractic care spend less on prescriptions, hospital visits, surgery, and visits to the doctor. What a great deal!
Reason #3: Chiropractic care is safe and all natural
We hear a lot about the side effects of prescriptions, vaccines, and the safety of medical procedures. Chiropractic is a completely natural approach. All chiropractic does is unlock your body’s innate healing ability so your body takes care of itself like it is supposed to. YOU do the healing! Chiropractic looks for areas of nerve interference and corrects them. This ensures that your nervous system is able to function at full capacity without any “static” distorting the signals going to and from your brain. The most common side effect (besides feeling better) from chiropractic? Sometimes a little soreness in an area that was adjusted. Sounds a lot nicer than the typical list of side effects connected with different drugs.
Reason #4: Chiropractic treats the actual problem rather than just masking the symptoms
When you go to the dentist with a toothache, you want the dentist to fix the problem not just numb you up or give you a pain killer. However when you go to the doctor complaining about frequent headaches, most likely you’ll walk away with a prescription for some kind of pain killer. But does that actually fix the problem that is causing the headaches? No. But if you come to the chiropractor, your spine will be carefully examined and areas that are not moving as they should—possibly putting pressure on nerves or causing tight muscles—will be found and corrected. Problem addressed rather than just symptoms relieved.
Those are just four reasons to get excited about chiropractic care. Come in today and see if we can help you get spizzed too!
