Subluxation When Dis-ease becomes Disease.
Chiropractic care is based on the fact that your body has an ability to heal
itself. Your brain constantly sends messages throughout your body in order to
perform daily activities such as breathing, walking, sleeping, and eating.
But most importantly, it defends against stresses such as bacteria, viruses,
injuries, and unexpected changes. When a subluxation occurs, the body loses
its ability to communicate with itself. Unfortunately, the body’s reaction to the
loss of communication is pain, discomfort, and an increased chance of illness
and disease.
This is why Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, said, “Look well to the
spine, for it is the cause of all disease and infirmity.”
Gentle Chiropractic care involves the identification and correction of hidden
problems within your body that prevent you from maintaining optimal health.
Subluxation’s can arise from a combination of: Thoughts, Trauma, and Toxins.
Subluxation Thoughts: stress, anger, and depression.
Chiropractic Doctors recognize that your mind has an intimate relationship
with your body. In fact, several studies have demonstrated how the mind can
create both positive (placebo) and negative (nocebo) effects on one’s health.
Emotions such as stress, anger, anxiety and a lack of companionship produce
enough stress in your body that they can actually effect you physically. While
emotions such as hope, happiness, love and a sense of community can provide
positive effects by decreasing states of pain and supporting immunity.
Unlike traditional medicine, Chiropractic Doctors are trained to look for key
emotional patterns that can have dramatic effects on your overall health and
wellness goals.
Subluxation Trauma: accidents, injuries, bad posture.
Trauma includes physical causes such as wear and tear of joints or muscles,
accidents, injuries and bad posture.
Such trauma can occur as early as birth. According to the National Safety
Council, 50% of children fall head first from a high place during their first year of
life. Injuries from such falls can remain hidden only to resurface years later after
they have had detrimental effects on your health.
Your body has an amazing ability to heal itself from physical injuries. However,
if the body does not have the proper nutrition and diet it needs to heal itself,
these physical injuries can result in chronic states of pain and the development
of disease.
This is the key to preventive medicine. The same way you would visit your
dentist for routine checks up, is the same manner in which you should visit your
chiropractor for the detection and correction of physical problems early.
Subluxation Toxins: pollution, diet and drugs.
Toxins include chemical related irritants that result in injury or abnormal
change to your body. Toxins can enter your body through pollution, bad diet
and most often in the form of drugs including over the counter products and
prescriptions.
Bad diet and a lack of nutrition results in the loss of your body’s ability to heal
itself. Today, the majority of Americans have replaced whole foods (fresh fruits,
vegetables, chicken and fish) with processed foods (frozen, fast food, quick
dinners). This has led to the highest rates of obesity and heart disease ever
recorded.
As a result of bad diet and nutrition, your body eventually breaks down and you
experience illness. This often results in unnecessary prescriptions. The CDC
reports that U.S. doctors write 50 million drug prescriptions every year. Another
report demonstrates that people get better with or without the use of prescription
drugs or over the counter products. There is a better way to health…
Subluxation The ideal choice of care is yours.
Gentle, safe and effective chiropractic care is the ideal treatment for
subluxations. Chiropractic care includes spinal adjustments, nutrition
counseling, and health education.
Extensive research has led to the understanding that specific adjustments
result in a series of chemical messages that alter your body and ultimately your
brain’s chemistry to improve natural healing and immunity.
But chiropractic care is not only about adjusting your body for optimal
performance. Chiropractic involves the complete care of you- the person and not
simply your symptoms.
This is the basis for continued or “Wellness” care. Chiropractors are interested in
helping you get better, but more concerned with helping you stay better by
preventing future illness and disease. This can be done by routine check ups
and continued health and wellness education.
Subluxation To Not Simply Treat, But Heal.
The Doctor of Chiropractic is a licensed health care professional who has
undergone extensive training in the art, science, and philosophy of healing.
Chiropractors are the only health care professionals trained to identify, correct
and prevent subluxations.
Chiropractors have a body of knowledge in proper nutrition, biomechanics,
physiology and how these relate to the most often forgotten mind/body
connection.
Your Chiropractor is waiting to share this wealth of information.
All you have to do…is ask.
