There may be more than one thing that is causing your discomfort:

 

1) Stress/Worry/Fear

2) Inflammation from poor food choices

3) Lack of muscle strength from lack of exercise and movement

4) Repetitive strain from working in the yard or garden every day

 

And then you may need more than one adjustment. In my book First, Heal the Children I talk about subluxation and for many the need for very regular, consistent adjustments. 

 

When I worked at the Spears Chiropractic Hospital in Denver in 1974, the patients--as they were conveniently staying in the hospital--would get adjusted several times a day. 

 

Even the children that had severe mobility issues were adjusted many times per day, and miracles were abound. 

 

You can view the Spears Chiropractic Hospital online to see some examples of truly miraculous results.

Your wonderful body makes millions of new cells every second of your life. Your thoughts, your nutrition, your nerves, your environment are conspiring to get your body to re-create itself all of the time. The instant you think a certain thought, the chemicals in your body adjust. There is no time delay. A thoughts happens, the body changes. Tears of sadness have a different chemical makeup than that of tears of happiness. You can encourage your body's self-healing mechanism with positive thoughts, proper nutrition, and an appropriate amount of rest and exercise. 

 

What thoughts you think and what emotions you feel from moment to moment are a soul thing. They create an energy that you vibrate all day long. As Dr. Bernie Siegel writes in Love, Medicine, and Miracles, each thought affects every cell in your body. As you think each thought, your brain sends an instant message to your body. If you think a positive thought, you send a message to the body that, in effect, you want to live. If you think a negative thought, you send a message that you, in effect, want to die. Isn't this an intense idea?

 

Everything is energy. Nothing is, everything is becoming. Spiritual laws are far more exacting than physical laws. This principle can work for you. Even when you violate the laws of the body and the laws of the mind, you can be saved, so to speak, by the spiritual laws. For example, meditation can bring you closer to your true spirit energy, which is that of unconditional love and all the positive attributes that coincide with it. Visualization and affirmation can do the same, elevating your energy and increasing your life force. While these exercises have a mental aspect, they can bring you to a pure state, like love, and in that way they connect you to your spirituality. 

 

Chiropractic adjustments remove nerve interference so that the innate recuperative power of the body can work the way it is supposed to.
