What is “The Million Dollar Adjustment”?

Some of you may have experienced “The Million Dollar Adjustment”, or maybe even several, in the course of your care.  I may have even told you that you were about to receive one of these rare creatures.  But what exactly is “The Million Dollar Adjustment”?  It is an adjustment that suddenly changes a condition that you have been suffering with for a long time, or maybe it is a series of adjustments over a period of time that dramatically changes your condition and your life. 

Perhaps you had suffered with chronic headaches, back pain, shoulder pain, fatigue or any number of other symptoms, and an adjustment(s) suddenly altered your situation.  It could be that you had to live with pain, take drugs continually or were told by the “experts” that you would simply have to live with your condition, and an adjustment(s) changed that.  Well, that is “The Million Dollar Adjustment”.  We call it that because it so dramatically brings a person back to healthy, drug-free and pain-free living and that is a very valuable thing!

Sometimes a person has debilitating pain and an adjustment or two dramatically changes, reduces or eliminates the pain and they all but jump off the treatment table.  That, too, is “The Million Dollar Adjustment”.

Sometimes it can take time for “The Million Dollar Adjustment” to work its magic and eventually the person’s immune, digestive or reproductive system starts to function as it was supposed to.  We have patients who could not conceive, in spite of all medical treatment, but who became pregnant under chiropractic care. We have patients with chronic acid reflux, with asthma, with chronic skin conditions, migraine headaches, etc., and even these folks’ health changed in remarkable ways.

Before you start wondering at my conceit for taking all the credit for what happens with people, I want you to know the secret behind “The Million Dollar Adjustment”.  The secret is that you have an innate (inborn) intelligence in your body that actually does the healing and sometimes all that is required is to release that natural healing power. The job of the chiropractor (My job) is to help free the flow of this intelligence and then the body simply performs the miracle of healing itself.

The greatest satisfaction that I have in doing the work that I do is seeing people change and doing so without fancy machines or poisonous pills.  I have the distinct privilege of being able to deliver an adjustment and then sit back and watch as the body does its thing.  It is still startling to me how quickly a person can “come around”, even when they have suffered mightily and for a long time.  That, to me, is what “The Million Dollar Adjustment” is all about.  Hopefully you have experienced one and, if not, then keep your mind open to the possibility: amazing things happen when you free the animating force in the body.
