Dear Friend,
 As
the limitations of modern medicine become more apparent, the western
world is beginning to embrace natural principles of life and health.
This concept is focused on the “terrain” or more simply, the body’s
innate healing ability.
As our wars on germs, cancer, etc. continue to fail, we are beginning to
realize that, perhaps, a more proactive and supportive approach to
health and healing is needed. Mother Theresa wisely declared her
preference for “pro-peace” rallies as opposed to “anti-war”
demonstrations. Similarly, we need to focus less on the invaders of
health and focus much more on supporting our body’s own natural healing
ability.
If you doubt your body’s innate intelligence or amazing capacity to
heal, just consider how you grew from two microscopic cells to a
full-grown adult or how your body immediately responds to heal a wound
or other affliction. Our bodies are naturally driven not only to
survive, but to thrive. We just need to support this natural process.
Chiropractic is one of the most important forms of support you can offer
your body. Although many people view chiropractic as limited to treating
neck and back pain, this is a grave misconception. Your spine houses the
world’s most sophisticated intelligence network, the nervous system, a
remarkable system that relays information to billions of cells in your
body.
It coordinates, heals, controls, and maintains your body’s myriad of
functions, while inspiring you emotionally, intellectually, and
spiritually. Your nervous system is the most sophisticated system in
your body. Your spine is made up of 24 vertebrae joined together by
disks and cartilage. These flexible discs allow the spine to bend in all
directions enabling you to tie your shoes, swing a golf club, do a
pirouette, etc.
But most important of all, your spinal column is the structure that
supports and protects your nervous system, which allows your brain to
communicate with all the vital, organs, glands, and cells of your body.
If this communication is impaired by a misaligned vertebrae (what we
refer to as a subluxation) “dis-ease” in the body occurs. Although
chiropractic can certainly be effective for the treatment of back and
neck pain, our primary goal is to remove nerve interference, restoring
your body’s own innate healing ability.
"I desired to know why one person was ailing and his associate, eating
at the same table, working in the same shop...was not. Why? What
difference was there in the two persons that caused one to have disease
while his partner...escaped? Why? -
