HOW CHIROPRACTIC CAN HELP

The Big Picture

Chiropractic is based on the concept of vitalism, that is health comes from within. Your body has an inborn intelligence that is constantly growing, nurturing, and running your body. As long as there is no interference to your body, it operates well. If interference does occur it causes the body not to function properly and you can get sick.

The Details

It starts with a philosophy. In order to see the difference let me explain about medicine first. Medicine is based on the philosophy of ‘mechanism’. That is that the body is made up of many parts, and is equal to the sum of those parts. In other words what you see is what you get. When the body ages, deteriorates, or is injured, you need intervention to help ie. Medications or surgery to keep the body going.

Chiropractic is based on the philosophy of ‘vitalism’. That is that the body is a creation of an inner intelligence that is constantly growing, nurturing, and running the body. In other words, the body is self healing and self regulating. When the body ages, deteriorates, or is injured, the body will heal and mend itself as long as there is no interference

How does the body get sick?

It is when this inner intelligence gets blocked or interfered with that the body loses its ability to operate normally. Think of a cel phone signal,with a clear signal you can talk and listen clearly. With a poor signal communication breaks down and you can’t talk or hear normally. The body is like this too. When there is chronic stresses, injury, or a too medicated system, the body fails to be able to communicate with itself properly.

How does chiropractic fit in to this?

The body communicates with itself between the brain and the body, through the spinal cord, and out spinal and peripheral nerves to the entire body. Wiggle your finger? How did that happen? You had a thought, that thought was transmitted from the brain down your spinal cord and out your shoulder and arm to your hand and told the finger to wiggle. Even if your eyes were closed you would still know it wiggled because you ‘feel’ it. That feeling was a message than went back up the nerves in the arm, through the spinal cord, and into the brain. Voila!! You have witnessed a typical communication method of the brain to the body and back.

What is this interference?

Chiropractors have found that when you have a physical stress in the body, let’s say a person has chronic stress on their neck from needing to look at their phone or a computer screen a lot. This stress can build up in the neck and cause a spinal problem called Subluxation. Subluxation = Interference. Subluxation is, is where the spinal vertebrae get stuck, pulled out of alignment, joint inflammation and swelling, muscle spasm, or pinch or irritate a nerve coming out of the spine. This subluxation complex then interfere with the nerve coming out of the spine and can cause the body to not communicate properly with itself, and that can lead to any and all health problems.

Can chiropractic impact any part of the body?

Yes. Just like the example above with wiggling the finger. You could have a condition like, asthma, or digestive ulcers, or high blood pressure, or poor pancreas function, and follow back to the spine where the nerves to that organ or system come from and you will likely find interference at the spine level. This system of tracking the nerves from the spine to organs is called the Meric system and was originally discovered by some medical doctors.

How does chiropractic help?

A chiropractor evaluates the spine to see if you have subluxations that can cause interference to the nerve system and your health. When subluxations are confirmed or course of treatment is recommended to correct the spine. With the spine correcting, usually within days to weeks, you will already notice a difference as the nerve system begins to function better and the body heals. Subluxations can operate silently for a long time before symptoms appear so regular chiropractic checkups can help prevent health problems from occurring.
