October Is National Chiropractic Month

The Major Premise:

There is a universal intelligence in all matter, continuously giving to it all its properties and actions, thus maintaining it in existence, and giving this intelligence its expression.

The Chiropractic Meaning of Life:

The expression of this innate intelligence through matter is the Chiropractic meaning of “life.”
These are two of the 33 Principles of Chiropractic.

Are You Well Connected?

The brain communicates with the body through the nervous system and the body communicates with the brain through the nervous system.  When there is interference with the communication the body can't express its fullest potential and Chiropractors call this subluxation.  This is called the safety pin cycle.  Make sure you are well connected and get regular chech-ups for subluxation.

Paper Cut

What would happen if you get a paper cut?  How would it look in a month?  What if there was a splinter in it?  Would it heal the same?  The body is self-healing, self-regulating and subluxations interfere with the self-healing and self-regulating of the body just like a splinter interferes with the healing of the paper cut.

Circuit Breaker

What happens when a house has a surge of electricity beyond it's ability to adapt properly?  it blows a circuit.  When our body has stress beyond our ability to adapt properly, we get subluxated.  That is why it is important to get to a Chiropractor for regular check-ups.

How Does A Cell Phone Explain Subluxation?

What happens when your cell phone only has 1 or 2 bars showing?  You get static on the line or you might lose the call because of interference.  The same is true with your body, if you have a subluxation, your brain can't communicate 100% with your body and you wil not be able to function at your fullest potential.  It is as simple as that.

What Is The Master Control System Of The Body?

The nervous system is the master control system of the body. It is like the strings on a puppet controlling it, if you interfere with the strings, you interfere with its function. The same is true for the human body.

What happens if you interfere with the transmission of nerve impulses of the nervous system?  You hope for the best because your body will not be functioning at 100%.  Make sure you get regular check-ups from your Chiropractor to see if you have nerve interference. It is as simple as that.

Do You Have A Weak Link?

You are only as strong as you weakest link. Do you have a subluxation? Because they make you weak. Make sure to get checked regularily for subluxations.

Are You Subluxated?

Subluxations...

...if left uncorrected have devastating effects on our health!

We learned with the first component of the chiropractic paradigm that the body is a self healing organism. In the next component, we discovered that our nervous system is what is responsible for the function of every cell, tissue and organ in our body. In the third component of the chiropractic paradigm, we find that subluxations damage the ability of our nervous system to communicate properly. The fourth component teaches us that the interference to the nervous system from subluxations is devastating to our health potential, even life

threatening.

The nervous system, when interfered with, begins a progressive downward spiral regarding our health and well-being. When our nervous system is subluxated it no longer has the ability to respond appropriately to the environmental stresses we place upon our body. Subluxations may lessen our body’s ability to perform at every level: our immune system may be hampered, our emotional stability becomes fragile, our mental clarity may be cloudy, our organs may not function properly, and sometimes even fail, our strength and coordination becomes weak and clumsy, and even our genetic expression may be damaged. If this isn’t bad enough, subluxations continue to worsen over time as our body slowly deteriorates.

Recent studies confirm our worst fears about subluxations.

Subluxations have become the known as the “silent killer” because of how they destroy our health often without symptoms. Every man, woman and child should be checked for subluxations and possible nerve interference! When was the last time you and your family were checked for subluxations?
