There's a saying about the fate of new ideas. They face a vicious cycle of ridicule, opposition and eventual acceptance as being self-evident. Chiropractic is at the third stage. At this time 2% of the world's population uses the chiropractic approach in their lifestyle as a part of their personal care strategy.
The simple explanation of our profession's unique role is this: Our Science: The brain is a master control of the trillions of cells and systems making the body's functions operate in the state of natural order. Nerve impules are sent at 300 miles/hr to and from the brain in response to the body's feedback through the central communication network - the spinal cord. Interestingly, both the brain and the cord are protected by bone. The fact that the verterbral bones forming a cable around the cord may misalign and disturb these nerves explains why chiropractors are mistaken for 'back' doctors.
Our Art: The art of chiropractic is the specific adjustment done for the purpose of restoring optimum connection within the spinal transmissions between body and brain.
If you have difficulty accepting the size of this idea, this means you are yet unfamiliar with our philosophy: All health and healing is from above - down and inside-out. (ADIO is the relevant chiropactic acronym!) You may have noticed the recent focus on brain health. Consider this...can a brain without complete connection to the body remain in a healthy state? In chiropractic we have a term for this condition. It is SUBLUXATION.
Stay tuned to this blog as I will demonstrate the chiropractic theory of dis-ease as a provable one. Nerve connection = order. Loss of nerve connection (subluxation) = disorder. In this blog we'll expand on this vitalistic paradigm of health and wellness explained in scientific terms that are known and accepted.
To the best in all of us,
