10 Concepts to a Better Understanding of Chiropractic

Most of you know that we try very hard to help educate our patients 
about
Chiropractic, 
since it might be a whole new viewpoint on health, wellness, and
basically how the body
works.

So today I am sharing a very important "synopsis" if you will, that 
gives
a step by step
idea of how chiropractic can change your health and your life.   

10 Concepts to a Better Understanding of Chiropractic

1. Chiropractic deals with every level of human performance.

2. Every level of human performance is regulated by body chemistry.  
That
is to say that everything you do and everything you are is a result of
your body producing chemicals.

3. Your body chemistry is regulated by the countless numbers of 
chemical
producing organs and glands in your body.

4. It is your brain, through your nerve system, that controls,
coordinates and regulates your organs and glands to produce your 
body
chemistry at the right time and place, made in just the right 
quantity
and quality.

5. The bones of the spine house and protect your very delicate life 
line;
spinal cord and related nerve roots( extensions of your spinal cord 
that
divide and re-divide to form your nerve network).

6. When one or more bones of the spine (vertebrae) lose their proper
relationship with the adjacent vertebrae, instead of protecting the 
nerve
they now interfere with the communication between the brain and 
all your
chemical producing organs and glands, this situation is called a
vertabral subluxation.

7. This results in a less than optimal production of your body 
chemistry.

8. this alteration in body chemistry results in a lessening of
performance of all your bodily functions: i.e. adapting to the toxins 
in
the environment, physical coordination at work and for sports, 
digesting
and converting food into you, resisting and recovering from disease,
maintaining emotional balance, handling stress, creating: music, art,
literature, poetry & dance; learning, thinking clearly, concentrating 
&
remembering, laughing, crying, communicating, loving, sleeping,
conceiving and bearing children, making decisions, forgetting
unpleasantness enjoying a happy sex life....everything you do and are. 
Your body MUST make chemicals in order for you to do all of these 
things.

9. The only job of a chiropractor is to locate these vertabral
subluxations and to introduce a very gentle force so your body may 
make
the correction.  This correction will allow your brain to properly
communicate to , control and regulate, your chemical producing 
organs and
glands.  When your body chemistry is in balance, and ONLY when your 
body
chemistry is in balance, can your body function properly.  And when 
your
body functions properly it can perform the way it was designed to
perform: at peak levels.

10. Chiropractic helps you to get the most out of life by removing a 
very
negative factor that will, if blessed with through your genetic 
heritage.
 Chiropractic wants to see you be the best you can be and get the 
most
out of life.
