what is chiropractic?
Dr.Colin Robert Moore
For me it is many things. Nature, truth, art, philosophy, logic, law and the keystone to \'real\' wellness/bienestar. What it is for me defines my work however what is more important is what it is and what it can can be for patients. This article will talk about the basic principles of chiropractic and also how chiropractic relates to the \'wellness\' model of living.
I describe chiropractic in my website as \'the exploration of the delicate and undeniable relationship that exists between your spine and your quality of life\'. This is based on some fundamental truths. They are the following;
1. We were born to be healthy. 20 % of our health concerns are genetically based and 80% are a result of how we live, for example how we sleep, eat, exercise, think. The \'Universal force\' that created life is not a discriminating force that decides who will be healthy or not.
2. The nervous system controls everything we do. Everything. >From immune function to digestion, from love making to sleeping. Who we are at any given time is a result of this MASTER SYSTEM. We can survive a few days without water and a few minutes without air, but not one second without the nervous system.
3. The SPINE is the \'autovia\' for the NERVOUS SYSTEM. Our \'life\' flows through our nervous system via our spine. The quality of our spine, like the quality of an \'autovia\', determines the quality of the flow of life, energy, from the cerebro to the body and accordingly our level of health and quality of life. When the quality of that communication from the BRAIN to the BODY is distorted, our ability to function fully is compromised. This distortion is called a SUBLUXATION and can manifest/present itself in many ways to include emotional problems, decreased immune function, lower energy levels, pain and a lower quality of life. Buana structura of the columna = buen funcionamieto of the system nerviosa
4. Chiropractic is dedicated to finding the SUBLUXATION and removing it through the art of an ADJUSTMENT. The goal being to remove distortion and \'normalize\' nerve flow, to reconnect the conversation between the brain and body and allow you;
- to express life more fully, - to re-find your internal and external equilibrium - experience your appropriate quality of life.
With our current level of thinking, I feel that it is difficult to embrace chiropractic on this \'wellness\' level. Mostly we believe that \'bienestar\' is limited to what we look like, how much exercise we do and what symptoms we may or may not have. I believe this philosophy is faulty and dangerous. We can exercise as much as we want, eat as healthy as we want, have a positive approach to life and have great sleep patterns, but none of them can work fully if there are SUBLUXATIONS present in your NERVOUS SYSTEM. If it is \'wholeness/bienestar\' and calida de vida you are striving for, logic tells us to start with the NERVOUS SYSTEM and then to complete your bienestar program with the other important elements after.
What does this translate into in real terms for us on the ground? For example if a patient came to see me because they have suffered from migraines for 10 years, based on the \'laws\' above, the migraines have to be a result of a SUBLUXATION causing interference to he NERVOUS SYSTEM interference. Remember that we where born to be well, the nervous system controls everything and because of the undeniable relationship between the NS and the SPINE, thats where we are obligated to look. What about menstual cramps or infertility? What about asthma or bedwetting in children or digestive problems or sciatica in adults? Logic demands that we ask the same questions, ie;
- was i born to be well
- does the NS control everything
- is the spine the highway for the NS
If the answers are all yes then your road back to health begins with the spine. Again and again and again, these laws apply. It is simple enough to understand however somewhere along the way, we lost faith in what is \'natural\' and what is logical and started to believe in something else...science. While there is clearly a place for science and \'modern medicine\', that place is not in \'bienestar\' Can science be more intelligent or more comprehensive that the \'Universal Force\' that created us? \'Bienestar is your responsibility along with dedicated practitioners who work on restoring the vital NERVE FLOW and encourage you to address the other 4 key elements to proper living.
If bienestar and quality of life are important for you, then a chiropractor should be part of your life for those reasons and those reasons alone.
I hope this brief discussion of chiropractic may encourage you to explore our work with confidence. For my part, I would be happy to talk to you about it and certainly would help you find a chiropractor in your barrio should you choose. Thank you for taking the time to read this article.
With Great Love and Respect
