The Amazing Human Body

Have you ever wondered how your body heals when you fall off your bike and scrape your arm and knee? The human body has an amazing ability to adapt, change, and heal all on its own. This is called innate intelligence. Every living thing has an innate intelligence. How does innate intelligence communicate with all of the body parts? The answer to these questions is we all have inborn wisdom and innate intelligence.

This wisdom is designed to develop us and keep us healthy throughout our lifetimes. With innate intelligence, every cell of your body is connected and controlled through your brain and spinal cord. Your nervous system is the master communication network for innate intelligence. The brain and spinal cord, also known as the Central Nervous System (CNS), control all functions of the body through a process that sends signals from the brain via the nerves and then out to the body. This system is called the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS.) If that network is disrupted at any point along its path, the signal will be weaker or even lost.

The number one most common way for those signals to be disrupted is through misalignment in the spine. The misalignment of the vertebra is called a vertebral subluxation. This misalignment causes pressure on the spinal cord and nerve exiting the space between the spinal bones. The result is that the intended body part for that nerve will not be receiving the full message from the brain. So you can imagine if the brain cannot communicate with the body, then there will not be proper function.

The reason why so many people are helped with peripheral problems like muscle tension and weakness, digestive problems, and even asthma through chiropractic care, is because we remove the interference between those body parts and the brain. It is not just about pain! So many people correlate chiropractic with helping back pain, neck pain, and headaches. Chiropractic is about restoring FUNCTION. Better communication between the brain and body is our driving force. Chiropractic frees up those signals of innate intelligence to flow from your brain to the body, allowing us to properly develop, heal, and achieve normal function. Chiropractic's main goal is to allow a clearer expression of your innate intelligence. Yes, we help with back and neck pain, but most importantly, chiropractic allows your innate intelligence to be able to communicate freely throughout the body through the nervous system. Your innate intelligence is programmed to cause your body to thrive with health!
