Understanding Chiropractic – 10 steps
Chiropractic is one of the largest healing professions in the world.
It is also one of the most misunderstood.
Here’s some statements that would indicate a misunderstanding about Chiropractic.
- “Chiropractic is about neck pain, back pain and headaches”
- “Chiropractic is cracking (manipulating) bones.”
- “Chiropractic is about making me feel looser.”
To help you get clear on Chiropractic we’ve broken things down into 10 points…
#1: We are connected to a greater wisdom.
Principle number one in Chiropractic is that there is a Universe Intelligence which is the source of all things, including our healing.
#2: You are self developing, self healing, self functioning, and self adapting.
We have an intelligence (wisdom) within us that runs our body without us having to consciously control it.
We call this your innate intelligence (inner wisdom).
#3: The Nervous system is the master controller of the body.
This intelligence travels over the nervous system.
#4: There can be interference to the nervous system
Life is a journey of physical, chemical and mental/emotional events that impact on the nervous system.
#5: Vertebral dysfunction can interfere with the nervous system
A vertebral subluxation is a joint not moving properly which impacts nerve function and affects the expression of Innate Intelligence.
#6: The body is always better off without subluxation
Even if we can’t always perceive WHAT is better, you are always better off without a subluxation
#7: The adjustment is corrective, specific and comfortable.
Helps correct subluxation. It is corrective, specific and comfortable.
It is not
– for making the body “looser”
– manipulation (random, non-specific)
– a noise, audible, “crack”
– painful.
At Optistart Chiropractic we use the Gonstead system of Chiropractic.
#8: We can correct the old subluxations BUT new subluxations can come at ANY time.
Life is full of stressors, and Subluxations can arise at any time.
After the corrections of your old patterns are complete, it is wise to check for new Subluxations and remove them early.
#9: Living in the clear
We can live our Opti Life, free from nerve interference, clear, conscious and connected.
#10: The objective of Chiropractic
The objective of Chiropractic is not to TREAT ANYTHING. – conditions, diseases, or symptoms.
The objective is to correct Subluxation, allowing nerve systems to work better, and innate intelligence to express more fully.
The body with or without symptoms or disease is BETTER OFF without subluxation.
