Recently walking through a supermarket, I overheard a middle-aged man say “My son gave me this stupid cold and I feel horrible” as he rubbed his eyes and sniffled through his words. Unfortunately a totally common occurrence!
When we are “sick”, we naturally want to complain and list all our symptoms. As a loving doctor and friend, I have sympathy and compassion. However, I also have a duty to teach you what symptoms really are and how to better understand them and why they occur. Ultimately, by understanding how your body works you can better understand how to achieve the best of health.
Fundamentals of Language
Fundamentally, the language you use can do one of two things: it can either sabotage your health or build new levels of health. The language you use does not always serve you.
When you have body signals or symptoms of a cold, the flu or even back pain, they can all make you feel tired, grumpy and frustrated. However, the most important thing is not to sabotage your health and healing processes even more by choosing certain words or language that adds strength and conviction to your minds focus and energy of the pain or discomfort.
For example: “I feel like ….!”, “I feel horrible”, “I am sick”, “I’m tired”, “I am not well”, “I hate feeling like this.”
While this may seem true for you in the moment, what are you actually telling yourself? By continuing to remind your brain and overall physiology about how bad you are feeling, you are doing even more harm by driving more negative mental impulses from your brain into your body. Does that make sense? The good news is true too, reminding your brain and overall physiology about how great your body is functioning, you are affirming and driving more positive mental impulses from your brain into your body about how well you are doing. This, in turn, has a positive effect on pain, healing and recovery.
Create A Health Expression
A better way to refer to a healing process is as a “health expression.” For example: “My body is having a health expression right now. “My body is adapting.”, “My temperature is protecting me by killing off the virus so it doesn’t harm me”, “My body is aching because it is trying to heal”, “My body is working efficiently to overcome everything it needs to”, “I have everything I need to work through this health challenge”.
Be mindful, your children and those around you will start “picking up” on your language. Children will repeat what you say word for word and if the language is left as a long term saying it will develop or become learned behavior through repetition and environment. Adults around you that are negative will attract to this negative language while more positive adults may may physically begin to repel or move away from you in this current state.
What Do You Want to Create?
The question is: what language and state of mind do you want to instill into those around you?
There is a saying “Your thoughts become you”. We can make this even more practical by saying “Your words become you”. Be careful what you say because it will become your reality!
Your will body always attempts to heal. Instead of seeing your body as failing you, honor your wonderful healing intelligence, starting with your words. Words have power. So as your body is healing either from an injury or an illness simply say “It is healing” which positively reinforces your understanding that the body heals itself.

Let’s live healthier and more active longer. That alone has become the motto of our generations who may have reached our embracing years of our thirties and older. Our ability to want to play full out is fabulous as long as we maintain and take care our health and our bodies along the way. One such joint that has an extreme amount of wear and tear and can put us on the sideline quickly is our knee joints. Remember even old injuries to our knees that may have happened when we were in our twenties can come back to haunt us in our retirement years.
At the moment there is no time machine that can transport us back in time to avoid the injury, but there are some things we can do to help keep our knees from being prone to injury and keep us kicking strong for years to come.
TIPS For Keeping Our Knees in Tip-Top Shape
1. Wear Proper Shoes – If your feet tend to roll to the inside or outside, or if you have fallen arches, it can affect not only your knees, but your hips and back. A proper assessment will determine if orthotics may be a suitable option for you. Orthotics should be properly fitted and customized to your needs.
2. Exercise Intelligently – This can be a particular problem with “weekend warriors” who feel they must fit in as much exercise as possible over the weekend because they don’t have time during the week. This can contribute to an overloading of the muscles, tendons and ligaments of the knee that are not accustomed to regular exercise, leading to an injury or even micro-tears that may not show up immediately, but could over time.
3. Lose Unhealthy Pounds – Any high-impact activities are extra hard on the knees if you are overweight. If you are overweight, running and other sports that have great impact on the knees should be avoided until you have achieved a normal weight. Practice other forms of exercise in the meantime that take the pressure off the knee, such as walking, swimming, and/or cycling.
4. Increase strength and flexibility – Concentrate on stretching and strengthening the hamstrings, quadriceps, hip flexors and the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) muscles, as these provide the greatest support to the knees and ensure that the knee tracks properly. Women are especially prone to improper tracking, which places more stress on the ligaments of the knee. This misalignment creates a popping or grinding sound when you bend the knee, often accompanied by pain. Incorporate Yoga and Pilates as they are a good way to keep the muscles, tendons and ligaments of the leg and knee strong and flexible.
5. Add Safe and Natural Chiropractic Adjustments and Rehabilitation– If your spine or hips are misaligned, the stress your knees have to bear is much greater. Sacroiliac and lumbar misalignments can make one leg shorter than the other so your gait is not straight. A study of 18 people who had knee pain due to muscle tightness showed there was a significant improvement of the condition in all subjects after having a chiropractic adjustment to the sacroiliac joint. Regular chiropractic care can help keep excessive strain off your knees and increase range of motion.
