Chiropractic is a 100% natural healing art. Chiropractic uses no drugs or surgeries, therefore, avoiding the dangerous side effects. Chiropractic understands that your entire body is interconnected and works together. Chiropractic works on the whole person. In your beginning, when an egg and sperm united and your life started, you were cells. Your cells divided 2x?s, 4x?s, 8x?s and so on. Eighteen days after conception your first organ to develop was your brain. Twenty-eight days after conception your 2nd organ developed, your spinal cord as an extension of your brain. Your brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) are the most important organs you own. Your spinal cord grew extensions called spinal nerves that branch off and created all your organs, muscles, arms, legs, everything. Your incredible nervous system is a 2-way electrical system, your brain sends vital electric messages to your organs and body sends back electrical impulses to your brain at 214 miles per hour. Your spinal cord is literally your LIFELINE between your body and brain. Since your brain and spine are your most important organs, God protected your brain with a skull and spinal cord with 24 moveable spinal bones. In between each spinal bone exits your spinal nerves. When any of your 24 moveable spinal bones become misaligned they irritate and choke your nerves. This is called Subluxations. Chiropractors are the only experts for detecting and correcting subluxations. Common causes of Subluxations: (spinal bones out of place choking nerves) Improper lifting, improper sleeping, bad posture, car accidents, sports injuries, slip and falls, stress, improper work ergonomics, birth process, a lack of maintaining your spine and more. Subluxations interfere and partially blocks your brains vital messages to your organs and body. When your organs and body receive less healing information from the brain they begin to malfunction and disease. Often this occurs silently, just like heart disease, cancer, diabetes and cavities, develop silently in your body for years. The latest research from the American Heart Association show it takes 20-25 years of slowly clogging your arteries before you will finally have a heart attack. The first symptom for 42% of all heart attack victims is the heart attack itself and that can be deadly. The American Cancer Association latest research show it takes 7-15 years of a cancerous tumor developing in your body before the newest most sophisticated machines CT Scan, MRI, Sonogram will detect them. It takes 2 1/2 years of a cavity destroying your teeth until you feel a toothache. By then it?s to late, drill and fill time. The same thing with your spine. By the time you feel headaches, neck pain or back pain, your problems have probably been there for months or years. How can all these health problems occur silently for months or years? Because current research reveals you can only feel or perceive pain in 10% of your entire body! That?s right, 90% of your body is only for function and cannot feel or perceive pain. I grew up and was taught that if I felt pain I was sick and if I felt no pain I was healthy. What a huge lie! Proven by the #1 and #2 causes of death in the US that build and destroy your body silently for years-Heart disease and Cancer. The definition of health is the condition of well being physically and mentally without disease or injury, not only being symptom free. Chiropractic philosophy understands that no doctor heals you, only you can heal yourself. Doctor?s can assist to help you heal. Chiropractic understands that there is a wisdom that automatically runs your body, heals your body and rebuilds your body. Your heart beats 101,000 times a day, your body digests food, cuts and bruises automatically heal themselves. Thousands of functions happen every minute in your body automatically. We all have a built in wisdom that runs our body, chiropractors call that innate intelligence, your body?s wisdom, healing energy, God. Chiropractics purpose is not to treat pain or disease. Chiropractic purpose is to remove the interferences that are choking your nerves and spine thru adjustments. When you have less interference on your nervous system, more vital impulses get to your organs and back to your brain. More nerve flow means better organ function, pain gone, feeling better, improved flexibility, less stress, better energy, just to name a few. How do chiropractors correct subluxations (misaligned spinal bones, choking spinal nerves and discs)? Adjustments! Adjustments are done by the chiropractors hands. Chiropractors gently push; realign your spinal bones back to their normal straight alignment through a series of specific painless adjustments. When you?re nervous system functions better and your feel better your quality of life improves. Your relationships improve. You perform better at work; you can get back to things you enjoy such as sports, exercising, traveling, etc.THE PURPOSE AND PHILOSOPHY OF CHIROPRACTIC
Your teeth and your spine
Both your teeth and spine are important, everyone would agree. How long you will brush your teeth? Everyday for your entire life. How long will you go to the dentist? Twice per year for your entire life. Why? Not because you feel teeth pain but because research and common sense proves with preventative care you avoid gum disease and cavities. So you will have a dentist on your health care team for your entire life.
Do you think your spine or your teeth are more important? Can you live without your spine? No. Can you live without your teeth? Yes. You can buy more teeth. Obviously your spine is more important, you can?t even walk without your spine (i.e. Christopher Reeve, superman).
Now that we established that your spine is more important than your teeth. Therefore, you should have a chiropractor on your health care team even before a dentist. Obviously you need both professions for a lifetime of preventative maintenance and optimal health, not just to be pain free. Chiropractic purpose is to help you regain and maintain your health by first correcting your spine then seeing a chiropractor 1 or 2xs per month for a lifetime of preventive maintenance. You will definitely be healthier and enjoy life more.
In conclusion, chiropractic naturally helps you to regain and maintain better health. Overall, your spine, brain and nerves are your central nervous system. Your central nervous system is your master system that controls all other body systems such as: circulatory, digestive, respiratory, immune, hormonal, etc? All natural chiropractic makes your entire body function better and improved health translates into improved quality of life. Helping you and your family to regain and maintain good health is our Purpose.
