Lots of people mistakenly think that chiropractic is for aches and pains and never experience the true benefits of chiropractic for themselves and for their family and friends. That is like having a cable-ready, 181-channel television and only using it as a plant stand!
Simple Facts About Your Body!
In your body you have the world's greatest doctor and the world's greatest drugstore. The human body is the most organized structure in the world, with 25-30 quadrillion cells all working together. It is therefore reasonable to assume that there is an intelligence or inborn wisdom within the body. In chiropractic we call it innate intelligence. Innate means inborn. Innate intelligence is what you are born knowing rather than what you learn after you are born.
Our body can make living tissue out of the Cheerios that we eat for breakfast, and adrenaline, insulin and cortisone and thousands of other chemical substances out of the tuna fish sandwich we eat for lunch. A newborn baby has more inborn knowledge about its liver than the world's greatest liver specialist.
The invention of the telephone has enabled a communication system that allows us to talk to anyone in the world within a few seconds. In our body we have an even more rapid communication system that the innate intelligence uses to control and coordinate the function of all our cells. It is made up of the brain, the spinal cord, and millions upon millions of fine wires (nerves), each a thousand times thinner than a human hair, going to every organ, tissue, gland and cell. Man has always known about the importance of the nervous system and that any interference within it can cause malfunction and even death. (Example: Christopher Reeves, "Superman") Because of its importance, the nervous system is protected by bone; the skull and the spinal bones. When the bones of the spinal column become misaligned they interfere with the function of the nervous system. As a result the body will not function properly. This is called a subluxation. The objective of the chiropractor then is to adjust the spinal bones back into their proper position, taking pressure off the nerve and allowing the life force to flow once again so that every part of the body can begin to work properly.
A Simple, Logical Explanation of Chiropractic
1. Chiropractic deals with human performance.
2. Every level of human performance is controlled by your body chemistry.
3. Body chemistry is controlled by the glands whose job it is to make chemicals.
4. All glands are controlled by the nerve system.
5. The nerve system is protected by the bones of the spine.
Now, if a subluxation occurs. .
6. A subluxation is a spinal bone over which the body has lost some of its control.
7. The position of the bone irritates the nerves.
8. Irritated nerves disrupt gland function.
9. Improper gland function disrupts your body chemistry.
10. Altered body chemistry decreases performance levels.
When a chiropractic adjustment is made.
11. A chiropractic adjustment restores proper bony position.
12. Proper position of the bone removes nerve irritation.
13. Restored nerve control allows for normal gland function.
14. Proper gland production balances body chemistry.
15. Proper balanced body chemistry increases performance.
An adjustment may not make your symptoms go away but it is not meant to. An adjustment opens up the life channels of your body and improves your overall life and it does that every time in every body.
Chiropractic care is not about your diseases or lack of diseases, it's about your life. |
