Understanding Principle

It is the Chiropractic Principle that the body heals from within. This is unique in modern medicine.

Contrast this with pharmacology which indicates that body is a mass of chemicals constantly out of balance or in flux and must therefore depend upon altering it’s chemistry in order to achieve “symptom free” results.

Chiropractic is Safe! .

If subluxations are not corrected If subluxations are not corrected earlyearly, “when they are caused , “when they are caused

shortly after birth”, the subluxation shortly after birth”, the subluxation will be difficultwill be difficult or or

impossibleimpossible to correct later. to correct later.

Your adjustment

You must realize that your body has a level of priority that is paramount for healing. No one can change that.

The Dr. can’t tell your innate intelligence how to heal.

It, your innate intelligence, decides what is the most important, regardless of symptoms, then addresses healing based on that hierarchal system.

That’s why sometimes when people start care they may experience soreness, sickness or changes that may seem unusual.

Physical stressors (such as subluxation) elicit the same stress response as stressful emotional input does.

The body’s stress signal mimics exactly the effects of an emotional stress signal.

Movement (proprioception) is the body’s positive, relaxation signal to the nervous system.

The Beauty of Correction

So what effect does posture have upon your spine Loss of Normal Cervical Curve can tether

the spinal cord decreasing nerve conduction to some 40%. (Briegg, A. M.D.)

By changing the spine you can offset the loads by 3 to 7 x it’s normal amount. Stand up and let’s find out. Head forward, Pelvis forward, Pelvis

sideways.

So how does poor posture and subluxation affect your nervous system?

90% of the energy your brain uses goes to keep you upright. 10% deal with metabolism, repair, immune system function, digestion, etc. etc. So don’t increase the load on your nervous system!

Other Effects of Poor Posture With Increased FHP Published studies show increased

risk of death! (Journal of Gerentology 2005)

FHP: Increases pressure on the upper lung fields, abdominal aorta, thereby increasing plaquing and stenosis. (Journal of Pain Management 05)

FHP can increase the risk of pneumonia.

Subluxations can effect the growth plates of femur heads thereby causing an anatomical short leg.

What is Wrong with This Posture?

Allows better sleep. Restores normal mobility. Counteracts the effects of gravity. Slows or stops spinal degeneration. Makes spinal disks healthier i.e. quicker recovery,

back to work faster and prevents surgery. Slows the aging process. Often instant relief from pain. Adds years to life! Adds life to years!

Healing comes from within!

Nerves heal !

Subluxation alone is a rational reason for Chiropractic care throughout a lifetime from birth.
