Chiropractic is form of healthcare based on the scientific,fundamental fact that our bodies are self-healing, self-regulating organisms; it has the ability to heal itself without drugs and surgery, as long as there is no interference to that process. For instance, if you cut your arm, the body can heal the cut without band aids or antibiotics. Your body has within it an inborn ability to heal itself; in fact all living things have the ability to heal themselves naturally.
If your body has the ability to heal itself, why doesn’t it? The answer: Sometimes we don’t give our body enough time to heal on its own or the actual cause of the problem is never addressed and still present, interfering with the healing process. Most patients who develop health challenges search for a pill or a potion to relieve their discomfort instead of locating the cause of the problem and removing the cause. By removing the actual cause it allows our body an opportunity to heal naturally.
For example, infections are not a lack of antibiotics in our blood steam; they are caused by a suppressed immune system. Why is your immune system suppressed? Poor diet, no exercise, stress, or maybe nerve interference. If the body is a self-healing organism, why take medicine? Why not find out why the body isn’t healing itself like it should and remove the interference?
Subluxations “The Silent Killer”
Your central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) is responsible for sending messages to every cell, tissue, organ and system in your body. This communication is made possible by your spinal neurologic network. This vast communication network is in charge of virtually every function in your body and determines whether you enjoy good health or disease. The central nervous system is so important that nature built armor around it – your skull and spinal column. However, even with this inborn protection, our nervous system can experience interference, injury or disturbance. We call this damage to our nervous system a Subluxation.
If it is determined that you have one or multiple subluxations that exist in your spinal neurologic network, this could potentially be a very serious threat to your continued overall health and well-being.
Subluxations can have devastating effects on your overall health and well being. Our primary goal is to detect and correct the subluxations that are interfering with your nervous system and health thus allowing your body to heal and establish a healthier you.
Subluxations are often called the “Silent Killer” because of their nature of not causing pain until they are quite progressed. Subluxations usually go undiagnosed for years as they deteriorate your overall health potential in the process.
The Global Effects of Subluxation
There is more to subluxations than back pain, neck pain and a pinched nerve. Some of the scariest consequences of subluxations come from the possible global effects on your body. When most patients investigate their subluxations they are often concerned about the potential health problems that may arise in the tissues that the specific nerve supplies at the level of their subluxations. For example; if they have a T1 subluxation, the nerve at that level supplies the heart and lung tissue. Their concern, and rightly so, is will this subluxation cause heart or lung problems? The research and case studies indicate that this is a possibility but even more importantly subluxations may cause even more serious global health problems in your body.
Global Effects of Subluxations
1. Impaired Immune Function: Arguably one of the most important keys to a long healthy life is a healthy immune system. Research now reveals that your subluxations may seriously impair the function of your immune system. Dr. Pero’s research indicates that ones immune response and susceptibility to serious disease are negatively affected by subluxations. Another study reveals that the quantity and quality of your white blood cells are negatively affected by subluxations.
2. Decreased Mental Function: Nobody would want their mind to be clouded and not be able to process information and think clearly. A chiropractic study demonstrated that an individual’s mental efficiency may improve 1,500-3,000% after a chiropractic adjustment. In another study, researchers discovered that brain stem function improved following a chiropractic adjustment.
3. Altered Emotional Stability: We usually don’t relate our emotional states to whether we need an adjustment or not, however, our emotions are intimately related to our nervous system function. Studies reveal an amazing connection between altered neurochemistry and emotional states to the subluxation. Many studies reveal that chiropractic care can offer fascinating results for patients with ADD/ADHD, panic attacks, nightmares, anxiety attacks, irritability, and general states of loss of well-being.
4. Damaged Genetic Potential: New research is now indicating that subluxations can alter the genetic expression of your genes. This has devastating consequences to your health and your future as a human being.
5. An Early Unnecessary Demise: In 1994 Dr. Lee authored a lengthy article that postulates that the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) is involved in all disease processes and explains that the causes and cures of all diseases are mediated by our central nervous system. Everyone must be checked on a routine basis for neurological interference caused by subluxations at a Wellness Chiropractic office if they desire to stay healthy. Another study reveals that subluxations negatively effect the visceral (organ) input centers and output centers in your brain stem. This indicates that almost any subluxation at any level may result in almost any kind of health challenge. Finally, the autopsies performed by Dr. Windsor M.D., correlated that nearly 100% of diseases these people suffered from were related to a curvature in the spine or a spinal problem that damaged the nerve that supplied that specific organ.
If you, a friend or family member would like to have your nervous system checked for interference, let us know (906-2051)! We would love to enlighten all of your lives with the miracle that is chiropractic!
Your body is a self-healing organism
