Put it this way…your nervous
system is a two way street. The brain tells the cells what to do then
the cells report to the brain what has been done. In a typical healing
process such as a skin abrasion, the ends of the nerves that are
irritated by the abrasion send pain/damage signals to the brain. This
is called the sensory path. Immediately after the brain receives this
injury information, specific brain cells send electrical signals back
down to the abrasion to create a perfect healing process. This pathway
is called the motor pathway.
This same sensory and motor pathway to and fro from body to brain and
brain to body occurs billions of time a day throughout our bodies. In
fact, even without injuries, body cells are constantly replacing
themselves relative to the stress we place on them in our lives. This
is why a callous forms after a blister, a tennis player’s forearm gets
bigger, a marathon runner’s body becomes lighter or a sumo
wrestler’s-body becomes heavier. Within a wide choice of genetic
options our life choices allow us to shape ourselves into the perfect
healing being of our dreams.
For instance, people live with pinched nerves and don’t know it. Like a
silent killer the compromised nerves continue to not allow life giving
impulses from the brain to their destination body part. This is where
Chiropractic maintenance is so important.
The skills of a chiropractor can detect a pinched nerve even if the
patient does not feel any symptoms. Through x-ray, leg length,
thermography, palpation etc. we correct these silent killers to allow
the motor part of the nerve to function again. When the motor function
of the nerve is restored then the innate intelligence which runs and
governs our body is again restored. The “Wisdom from Within” as
described in the textbook Gray’s Anatomy can again do its job and that
is to heal.
Do yourself a huge favor and have your spine checked regularly, symptom
or no symptom. Chiropractic is your best health insurance for life.
When was the last time you’ve been in? Get going and allow your body to
work, even if you may not feel curent pain.

A research journal, the “Journal of Manipulative and Physiological
Therapeutics” published a study that showed high levels of patient
satisfaction for those who went to chiropractors with what was
classified as severe to moderate pain in either the back or neck.
A total of 369 patients were sampled who had gone to chiropractors
with these problems.
These individuals were asked to complete surveys tracking all kinds
of information from the type and severity of their problem to their
level of satisfaction with care.
The results showed a very positive response from the study group in
both the results they felt and their overall level of satisfaction
with their care.
The results of the published study summed it up best; “Based on the
results of this survey, it seems that patients suffering from back
and or neck complaints experience chiropractic care as an effective
means of resolving or ameliorating pain and functional impairments.
Moreover, the patients surveyed demonstrated a high degree of
satisfaction with the care they received.
Numerous other studies have demonstrated that chiropractic is as
effective, if not more effective than conventional medical
management of such complaints.”
