Þ      What runs & controls the body?

The nervous system is made up of the brain & the nerves that exit from the spine.  The body is controlled by a continual stream of messages from the nervous system.  Everything that we do from moving a finger to increasing our heart rate is controlled by these nerve messages. These messages are perfectly “intelligent".  The expression of this intelligence. however, may be interfered with.

Þ      What is an example of intelligence that is not fully expressed?

A person who has had a stroke may have had the verbal portion of his brain damaged.  He slurs his words & may not be able to express himself well.  As intelligent as that person is, he may not be able to express that intelligence fully.  A stomach that receives altered nerve messages may produce the wrong amount of acid.

Þ      What is Innate Intelligence?

We have been beautifully & wonderfully created.  It is not by chance that your body can perform, millions of functions every second.  In chiropractic we term the intelligence that coordinates & maintains a human body in existence: Innate Intelligence.  Innate Intelligence coordinates all the cells & tissues in the body so that they all work together to adapt to an ever changing environment. When Innate Intelligence Is fully expressed there is 100% health.

Þ      What is a vertebral subluxation?

A vertebral subluxation is when one or more vertebrae in the spine become wrenched out of position causing the stream of messages of the nervous system to become distorted.  A subluxation can alter the expression of Innate Intelligence in the body.  We can liken this to listening to a symphony on a radio that is not tuned correctly.

Þ      What is a symptom?

A symptom is the body's way of telling us that something is wrong.  It is an alarm, it is not the fire!  Drugs usually just cover up symptoms but don't get to the cause.  This would be like painting over a warning light that has ignited on your car's dashboard (instead of getting to the real cause of the problem).  Chiropractic removes nerve interference which can cause ill health & lowered performance.

Þ      What kind of problems can subluxations & nerve distortion cause?

A subluxation can cause a whole range of health problems.  Subluxations may cause no symptoms at all or they may result in headaches, allergies, asthma, or stomach problems, to just name a few.

Þ      Who should be checked for vertebral subluxations?

Everyone can benefit from having their spine checked, &. if necessary, adjusted by a chiropractor.  Whether or not people have symptoms or health problems, it's always best to have a nervous system that is free of any nerve interference.  Functioning at less than I00% just doesn't make sense.

Þ      Should children have their spine checked?

Absolutely! The birth process In this country can be very traumatic.  The doctor may pull & twist the tiny infants neck in an attempt to speed the delivery of the baby.  Tissues are stretched. & vertebrae are moved out of place causing subluxations.  Subsequently, many mothers now have their babies adjusted minutes, hours, or just days after birth.

Þ      What two things do I need from you?

The first thing is that It Is essential to follow your care plan.  The muscles that attach to your spine have a memory (like a rubber band).  As a result, adjustments do not hold for very long in the beginning. Eventually though, the muscles get retrained & the adjustments hold for longer & longer periods.

The second thing is that I need is for you to tell other people about chiropractic. So please, tell others.  It is a wonderful feeling to help another person.  You may turn someone's life around by telling them what you know about chiropractic. Please help me to help others be healthier.
