Wellness and Optimal Health
starts with having a normally functioning nervous
system.
The nervous system controls every cell, tissue and
organ of the body. Any interference of the transmission
of messages across these nerves, primarily caused
by vertebral subluxation,
impairs our ability to function normally.
During development in the womb, our nervous system
is the first system to grow, controlling the function
of the heart, lungs, liver and all other systems of
the body. Nature gave all living creatures the miracle
of life.
This life-force or innate
intelligence controls every function of our body,
including our ability to self-heal and self-regulate.
Interference to our nervous system interferes with
life processes and our healing and regulating abilities,
thus ultimately causing disease to occur.
Viruses and bacteria only attack compromised or weakened
cells of the body. If our immune system is working
at its optimum, we have the ability to fight off most
disease, naturally. It is of utmost importance that
all living creatures have a nervous system free of
nerve interference.
Chiropractors remove subluxations
( misalignments ) that impair nerve function and impair
our healing processes.
Once a subluxation has been removed, nerve flow is
normalized and our innate intelligence is free to
flow, allowing the body to heal itself.
The definition of health is, "An optimal state
of physical, mental and social well-being, not merely
the absence of disease or infirmity." Dorland's
Medical Dictionary.
It describes a Chiropractic definition of health.
Chiropractors and Medical Doctors differ philosophically
when it comes to health. Chiropractors believe that
health is more than living disease free - health describes
optimum function throughout life. It includes a drug
and medication-free lifestyle, good nutrition, proper
rest, minimized stress, regular
exercise, positive mental attitude and regular chiropractic
care to remove vertebral subluxations - the most serious
and devastating effect on your nervous system and
your health.
