Chiropractic may very well be one of the least understood
philosophies of life and health. It is based upon a few very simple
ideas:
The
body is designed with an inborn ability to maintain itself in a
state of proper function.
A newborn baby may seem small, fragile and helpless, but within that
body is the ability to make food into living tissue, to heal cuts and
bruises, to adapt to changes in the environment, to produce the chemicals
necessary to perform every bodily function, to fight off invading organisms,
to live as much as 100 or more years, in short, to lead a healthy,
productive life.
The brain and nerve system
are the primary tools by which we attain proper function, what
we commonly call health.
Every organ, gland and cell in the body depends upon messages carried
to and from the brain in order to function in a coordinated manner
so that each part can benefit the whole of the body producing a full
and abundant life.
Interference in the nerve system
reduces the body's ability to function in a coordinated manner.
While a corpse has a brain and nerve system, it does not have life;
there is no power or energy flowing over the nerve system. Similarly,
a paralyzed person has lost function due to injury to the nerve system. Even
slight damage to the delicate and vital nerve system can reduce the
body's ability to function at its fullest potential.
A
spinal misalignment that interferes with the nerve system (called
a vertebral subluxation) creates a reduction in coordinated function.
Slight
misalignments of the bones of the spine caused by everyday, common
activities can interfere with the ability of the nerve system to
carry messages that are necessary for the successful accomplishment
of those everyday activities, not the least of which is the attainment
of maximum health.
Chiropractors correct vertebral
subluxations.
The single objective of the chiropractor is to locate and correct vertebral
subluxation in adults and children so that families and entire communities
are able to express life at a higher level.
If you and your family are not seeing a chiropractor
regularly, you are not doing all you should for your life and health.
