The Nervous System & Innate Intelligence
Our bodies have an amazing ability to adapt, change, and heal all on its own. This is called innate intelligence. It is the reason a dog, lion, and a person can form from a single cell. The same intelligence that formed you is also able to heal you. How does the innate intelligence in the body communicate with the rest of itself? I.e. How does the body know how to heal your foot when you step on a piece of glass and at the same time know how to fight the bacterial infection from that cut? How does your body know when to absorbe nutrients and when to reject others or when to grow and develop the muscles you just worked out at the gym? THROUGH THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. The nervous system is the central HQ in the brain and spinal cord. Chiropractic care helps free up those signals of innate intelligence to flow from your brain to the entire body, thus allowing proper development, healing, and restoration of function.
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is more than aches and pain. In fact that is such a small fraction of what chiropractic can do. From your sour back, to sciatica, to digestive problems, children wetting the bed, asthma, anxiety -- all of these things can be helped with chiropractic. But how? CONNECTION. A connection between the brain, spinal cord, and the entire body. Chiropractic reconnects these systems so that the body can start to function and heal.
Vertebral Subluxation
The term "subluxation" is used by doctos of chiropractic to depict the altered position of vertebra that results in fuctional loss and negatively impacts the delicate nervous system tissue that travels through the spine. These subluxations or shifts in spinal structure are quite common and occur regularly throughout a lifetime due to the many stressors we encounter in all stages of early development, childhood, and as adults.
