I haven't blogged about my life's chosen profession in a while, and posting the blog about "limits" the other day got me thinking, I really should!
I mean no disrespect, but 99% of the population has no idea what a Chiropractor does, that inevitably includes people who think they do... That even includes many Chiropractors.
So if I may, lets begin with with The Chiropractic Premise:
The Chiropractic premise begins with innate intelligence, that force, that something, that brings to being all that you are; it is the part science does not/cannot explain. Innate is the body's ability to be a self-healing, self-regulating organism. Next is the brain and spinal cord; they control and coordinate ALL of the bodies functions. The messages, either to or from the brain, run along the nervous system and the nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and all of the bodies nerves. As long as the brain can remains in constant contact with the cells, organs, and structures of the body, we are healthy. Not just healthy, but potentially in optimal health. As soon as the communication is disrupted in any way, and the cells can no longer "hear" the commands of the brain, nor can the brain "hear" the input from the cells, our bodies experience a decrease in health; in the parlance of our times, "garbage in, garbage out." In the old days this was referred to as "dis-ease". The disruption, or distortion, of the nerve signal is likened to static on a cell phone or television. The Chiropractic profession has named this the Vertebral Subluxation. Vertebral Subluxations are a disruption of nerve impulses and may or may not be accompanied by pain, usually no pain. If your experiencing Vertebral Subluxations, Chiropractors can help. If you are not experiencing Subluxations, we cannot help but we may be able to refer you to someone who can.
The event of a Vertebral Subluxation is complex and far reaching, but this is the premise not a dissertation. The main piece of information that I want to convey is that Vertebral Subluxations are disruptive, unhealthy, and will lead to dis-ease, and even disease, if they are allowed to persist. They are a degenerative process, are accumulative by their very nature, and they are a maladaptive pattern. Subluxations prematurely age a person.
In the word of the esteemed Dr. Fred Barge, "There is but one cause in disease, the body's inability to comprehend itself and/or its environment."
If you understand the human body and its functions, then you see the truth in this quote. If you do not understand the human body and its functions, if you rail against this quote, then I urge you to delve deeper into the vast workings of the human body. I assure you, even though it may take you some time, it well worth the study.
I have always advocated Chiropractic care and I urge everyone to find a Chiropractor. Make Chiropractic apart of your healthy lifestyle, trust me it fits. Most Chiropractors can help you figure out how to maximize lifestyle choices and create the healthiest you possible.
"Your body's ability to heal is far greater than anyone has permitted you to believe."
As always, thank you for reading.
