What Kept It Grounded

Home

The Dreamliner, otherwise known as the Boeing 787, has been talked about as the quietest, most fuel efficient, most streamlined, and most advanced commercial airplane ever constructed. It’s the first ever to be made of composite materials, making it light enough to take off and land with less runway distance, not to mention the luxury it would provide to the hundreds of passengers along for the ride. A person might be able to compare the majesty of the Dreamliner to the Titanic.

The Titanic however, was brought to the bottom of the ocean by an enormous iceberg. The Dreamliner to date has been grounded by something much smaller. Much, much smaller. A battery.

It’s been noted in different articles that the plane had to be grounded because after an average of 52,000 hours of flight, its lithium-ion batteries were bursting into flame, causing danger to the aircraft and its inhabitants. 52,000 hours may seem like a lot, but not compared with the expected 10 million hours of flight expected by most planes of their batteries. There was a flaw that caused the plane to be grounded, and it would not be allowed to fly unless some adjustments were made.

The problem lay in the electrical system of the craft. A battery.

Your body has an electrical system called your nervous system. Irritation to your nervous system can cause all sorts of in-house “fires,” causing parts of your body to not work right or even become painful. You being grounded results in a loss of work, loss of play, a home out of order, relationships ignored. An overall loss of life.

How important is your life? Can you afford to have it grounded? Staying well-adjusted can make all the difference in keeping you off the ground and in the air. Your spine protects your nerves and it absolutely depends on the regular, ongoing care from your chiropractor to help your spine maintain the proper motion and position it requires for you to stay healthy.

Instead of a beautiful and efficient “Dreamliner” to get you across the friendly skies, you will be working toward seeing your dreams come true with a body that functionally and painlessly gets you everywhere you want to go in life.
