Your body is amazing!

Have you ever stopped to think about just how amazing you are? If not I’m encouraging you to do so now…However long ago it was, you were formed from just two cells. All that you are at this point in your life started when two cells united. What happened to those two cells is incredible. They began to multiply, the nervous system was formed, organs appeared, limbs grew and voila, 9 months later you were born. The wonders don’t cease there though. From that time until now your body has been doing some pretty impressive stuff. First off, think about the growth both physically and mentally that has occurred since you were welcomed into the world. On top of that your body has been taking food and turning it into living tissue, getting rid of waste products daily, destroying old worn out cells and replacing them with new ones, and so much more.

                What’s perhaps most impressive is that you never even had to think about doing any of this. Your body automatically knows to make your heart pump, to breathe air through the lungs, to digest food, and all the other countless processes that occur every second inside you. It’s pretty practical that our body does this automatically considering how busy life can get for us. There is no doubt we are intelligent beings and this intelligence directs and coordinates everything going on in our bodies.

                Have you ever taken the time to think how this intelligence runs the show? Our bodies’ innate intelligence directs life over the nervous system. It is the first system that forms from those two cells and controls everything from that point on. The nervous system is comprised of the brain, spinal cord and nerves, which go to every single cell, tissue and organ we have. It serves as the highway upon which innate intelligence drives the body. For anything to occur in our bodies, messages are sent from the brain, down the spinal cord and over the nerves, which go everywhere. The body parts in turn communicate back to the brain using the reverse route.  Our bodies are so wonderfully created that the skull and spinal bones encase our brain and spinal cord to provide protection to this powerful, yet delicate system.

                As life plays out and we take part in it, all of us are exposed to a great amount of stress. Some of these are positive stressors such as going for a hike or working out, and a bunch are negative stressors. Over time this negative stress (slips and falls as kids, sports injuries, car accidents, poor posture, financial worries, relationship woes, eating processed foods, drinking sodas, you get the idea!) cause interference to the nervous system. The spinal bones begin to lose their proper alignment and motion. When this happens it causes direct interference to the nervous system by interrupting the brain-body connection. This is known as a subluxation and any time this occurs it always causes the body to operate at less than 100% or full potential, because the brain can’t properly communicate with the body and vice –versa. Most of the time this occurs without any signs and symptoms ,which are a poor indictor of health anyway.

                Many people are pleasantly surprised to learn that it is this same nervous system and innate intelligence that Chiropractors work with. We carefully assess the spine and nervous system, locate these areas of interference and remove them.  By doing this we allow that intelligence that resides in each of us to be more fully expressed.  Boxing chiropractic into back pain and neck pain severely limits its potential. Don’t get me wrong, decreased pain is a wonderful side effect of chiropractic, but its prospective is so much more. Think about the potential side effects of removing interference to the intelligence that runs your body: (increased energy, feelings of ease, improved health and healing, etc.) Why constrict such a powerful thing to back and neck pain. What’s even better is that all this is done by working with the body, rather than imposing our will with toxic drugs and chemicals. We simply remove the interference and let the body do its thing.

                The great thing about chiropractic is that anyone can benefit from its application. From those who are health compromised to those wanting to reach more of their potential. From the newborn to the elderly, everyone benefits from a clear brain-body connection.

                Is your nervous system operating free from interference? Have you made chiropractic a part of your healthy lifestyle choices? A proper brain-body connection is required for you to be living out your full health and life potential. If you experience the wonderful benefits of chiropractic share it with someone you love today. If not I want to encourage you to join all those who already do and reap the benefits of the full expression of your innate intelligence.
