Chiropractic in a Nutshell

Ever wanted a summary of how chiropractic can HELP YOU....! WELL HERE IT IS.... in a Nutshell.

Your body created itself in the first place from a sperm and an egg into 70 trillion specialised and integrated cells all communicating together to produce life. This is an absolutely controlled process and means that your body has an inborne 'Intelligence' to be alive and to be healthy. Incredibly, your body organised itself into life!

• This Innate Intelligence is possible because of the communication between your cells and this communication is controlled by your central nervous system. When your central nervous system works well, it allows your internal organisation to keep you healthy. Indeed, the power that created your body is the same power that heals and maintains your body. This is profound: If your body created itself in the first place, then it certainly should have the ability to heal and maintain itself. Innate Intelligence expresses itself through your brain and central nervous system.
• Your spine houses and protects the main trunk of your nervous system - your spinal cord. Your spine and spinal cord are intimately related in the way they work. If your spine does not work well, your spinal cord (and circuits into your brain) do not work well. This acts to interfere with the communication signals between the trillions of cells in your system.
• Chiropractors call this condition the Subluxation and recognise it as a direct insult to the full expression of your Innate Intelligence. The power which created your body can no longer heal and maintain your body - you lose your function and you lose your health.
• Your potential for life and health depend on your spine and nervous system working at their peak.
• Subluxation begin in infancy or early childhood so it is imperative that babies and children are checked by chiropractors.
• Physical, Chemical and Emotional stresses are the factors that cause malfunction and Subluxation.
• Chiropractic spinal adjustments are performed to improve spinal function, decrease subluxation, and restore better communication to all your cells.
• Chiropractors also work with you to fine tune your lifestyle and help you reduce Physical, Chemical and Emotional stress wherever possible. Home-care and lifestyle advice is a very important part of chiropractic care from Diet to Exercise to Mental Attitude.
• When your cells communicate effectively again through a healthy central nervous system and a common sense, healthy lifestyle your body has the opportunity to re-establish itself into a healthy working state.

A healthy working state allows for healing then health, vitality and vibrance - all attributes commonly mentioned by chiropractic patients resulting from their chiropractic care.
