This is dangerous territory. Besides the obvious hubris, it suggests that you're somehow responsible for the healing and the often dramatic results produced by reducing tension to the nervous system along the spinal column.
However, like your car's ignition key that activates the intelligence built into it by the engineers who designed and manufactured it, your adjustment merely invokes the intelligence built into each patient by their Maker. Claiming credit (or taking blame) is actually a form of stealing.
Give credit to the manufacturer, not the key; the Maker, not the adjustment.
