Your Thinking is Crooked: Let’s Adjust That Sh*t

By Dr. Drew Voelsch

A Forza Chiropractic Perspective on Rewiring the Mind to Reclaim the Body


You’ve probably heard that chiropractic care helps with pain, posture, and performance.
But what if we told you that one of the biggest subluxations you’re carrying around…
Isn’t in your spine.
It’s in your thoughts.

That’s right.
Your thinking might be crooked.

And just like a misaligned spine can mess with your entire body,
misaligned thinking can mess with your entire life.


💥 Chiropractic 101: Thoughts. Traumas. Toxins.

At Forza Chiropractic, we recognize that your health isn’t just about your back.
It’s shaped by 3 core forces:

  • Physical Traumas

  • Environmental Toxins

  • Mental Thoughts

Most people walk into our office expecting us to work on the first one.
They leave surprised by how much the third one matters.


🧠 Your Brain Talks to Your Body—But It Doesn’t Always Tell the Truth

Your nervous system is the master control center.
Every thought you think sends signals through your spine,
and your body responds accordingly.

If your mind is constantly stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in fear—
Your body isn’t going to function optimally.

Tight shoulders.
Tense gut.
Shallow breath.
Foggy mind.
All symptoms of crooked thinking.


🌀 Mindset Isn’t Fluff—It’s Structure

We don’t buy into the “positive vibes only” movement.
That’s surface-level. And let’s be real: surface-level doesn’t heal.

At Forza, we believe in structural integrity—for both spine and mindset.

Your thoughts are like posture for your brain.

If they’re constantly slouched in self-doubt,
bent by fear,
or hunched under the weight of perfectionism…

You need an adjustment.


🔄 Reframing & Resetting: The Mental Adjustment Table

Every time you get adjusted physically, we’re helping your nervous system reset.
But we also invite you to consider what you’re thinking while your body heals.

Here’s the Forza 3-Point Reframe:

  1. Notice the Pattern.

    • What story are you telling yourself that might be sabotaging your healing?

    • (“I’ll always be in pain.” “This is just my age.” “Nothing ever works for me.”)

  2. Challenge the Story.

    • Is that thought helping you heal… or holding you back?

  3. Choose Alignment.

    • What would a more aligned belief sound like?

    • (“My body is healing every day.” “I deserve to feel good.” “Small progress is still progress.”)


⚡️ Forza Means Strength. Strength Means Alignment.

We named our practice Forza for a reason.
It means force. strength. power.
And we’re not just talking about muscle power—we’re talking about mental muscle too.

When you align your spine and your mindset,
you’re no longer fighting against your body.
You’re fueling it.

You think better.
You move better.
You live bolder.


🎯 Final Thought:

The real adjustment might not just be what happens on the table—
It’s what you choose to think when you get up from it.

So next time your thoughts feel tight, twisted, or tired…

Come in.
Get checked.
Get adjusted—physically and mentally.

Because at Forza Chiropractic, we don’t just fix backs.

We realign you.
