Many of us have been misled into thinking pain is a problem. Headache? Numb it. Gall bladder malfunctioning? Remove it. Sore throat? Soothe it. But pain is the effect, not the cause.

The superhighway, as it was coined in the 1990’s, was developed to bring our global communications and information to one great stream accessible by all of us. The information is translated and driven by numerous languages and mathematical algorithms but one system that is universally is the same is that to access and connect to this expanse of information, you first need a few things, namely – a computer and an internet service provider. Then of course your computer needs to be turned ON and you have to be connected to the internet.
This is a great metaphor for how our bodies function. The major premise of chiropractic is that there is a Universal Intelligence that gives to all matter its properties and actions, thereby maintaining it in existence. In other words there is order to the planet and an unlimited potential of intelligence – similar to the World Wide Web.
Put simply, unless you are connected to this Universal Intelligence (or the www.), then you are missing out on an unlimited potential of intelligence. In vertebrates, which yes – humans are included, this intelligence flows from our computer (our brains) down through the spinal cord to all the cells, tissues and organs of the body.
How Many Bars is Your Connectivity?
Interference in the connection from your brain to your body can occur from misalignments in the spine. The misalignments often result from physical, chemical and emotional stress placed on our body through things like car accidents, the birth process, sporting slips and falls, poor sitting, sleeping and standing posture, toxins in our food and environment and stress from work, relationships and finances.
Ultimately the connection speed of nerve signals flowing through the body should be 261 mph, but in a compromised or non-maintained working order, this transmission can be slowed as much as 60%. This is like going from high-speed wireless to the old dial up where you wait for what seems like an eternity for each page to load. Some people feel like this in their bodies where despite how much sleep they get, they still feel tired, or their digestion is sluggish, immune system is depressed, hormones are not balanced or instead of being mentally alert they feel ‘cloudy’.
Other Mechanics Effected
The health of your spine is affected by the stability and health of your extremities—the parts of your body that are not your back and neck. These areas can be directly related by not only injuries, repetitive incorrect wear and tear, but a weakened communication cycle from your body’s server.
These areas are most often effected
- Elbows
- Wrists
- Ankles
- Hands and fingers
- Hips
- Knees
- Feet and toes
- Jaw
- Shoulders
If there is an incorrect connection people will most often feel a tingling sensation, numbness, or instability and/or weakness in those areas.

While some fitness enthusiasts relentlessly seek out the latest, trendiest exercise crazes, many others are returning to good, old-fashioned walking to help them feel great and get into shape. Whether enjoying the wonder of nature, or simply the company of a friend, walking can be a healthy, invigorating experience. And thanks to its convenience and simplicity, walking just might be right for you, too.
The Right Step
You don’t need to become a member of an expensive gym to go walking. And except for a good pair of walking shoes, it requires virtually no equipment.
A sedentary lifestyle has a debilitating influence on people’s health as they age, therefore exercise is imperative. Walking accomplishes all of the following and more:
- Improves cardiovascular endurance
- Tones muscles of the lower body
- Burns calories: about 80 if walking 2 miles per hour, and about 107 if walking 4.5 miles per hour
- Reduces risk of heart disease
Selecting Shoes
The first item of business when beginning your walking program is to select the right pair of shoes. Too many people choose fashion over function when purchasing running shoes, not realizing that poor-fitting shoes can do more than hurt their stride; they can also lead to pain throughout the body.
- Make sure the shoes you purchase fit properly. The balls of your feet should rest exactly at the point where the toe end of the shoe bends during walking.
- Select shoes with plenty of cushioning in the soles to absorb the impact.
- Shop for sneakers at the end of the day or after a workout when your feet are generally at their largest. Wear the type of socks you usually wear during exercise.
- When trying on shoes, be sure to wear them for at least 10 minutes at the store.
Once you have purchased a pair of shoes, don’t walk them into the ground. While estimates vary as to when is the best time to replace old shoes, most experts agree that between 300 and 500 miles is optimal.
Let’s Get Started
Walking just 12 minutes every other day can offer important health benefits. But in order to increase your longevity, try to eventually work up to 30 minutes, five days per week. Experts generally agree that to be considered “active,” adults should try to take 10,000 steps each day. Wearing a pedometer is an easy way to track your progress.
Great tips to help you get started on your walking regimen:
- Move your arms freely, in coordination with the opposite leg.
- Don’t stoop your head or look down as you walk. This will challenge the normal forward curve of your neck, which, in turn, will cause you to carry your weight improperly.
- Don’t carry weights or dumbbells while walking. They’re better used as a separate part of your exercise regimen.
- Expect a little soreness in the thighs and calves for the first week or two. If you experience more than soreness, check with your doctor of chiropractic.
- Walk briskly, with “purpose.” Simply sauntering, while relaxing and enjoyable, is not an effective form of cardiovascular exercise.
Of course, be sure to consult your doctor before beginning any exercise program.
Walking Surfaces
Some walking surfaces are better than others on your musculoskeletal system.
- Walking on a cushioned or rubberized track is ideal, because the cushioning of this type of track absorbs most of the impact of your walking. Many recreation centers offer this type of track free of charge.
- Grass is another good surface, but watch out for hidden dips or holes in the ground.
- Walking on a surface with no give, such as concrete or a mall floor, is not your best choice, because this type of surface will not absorb much of the impact your body will experience. If you do choose to walk on such a surface, be extra careful to select highly cushioned shoes.
Ready, Set, Go!
The best way to start is to take your very first step. Commit to the process and enjoy.
