Chiropractic, Energy Healing and Health

Chiropractic has always known that health is not a person, place or thing. You cannot isolate it in a test tube. It is not the lack of symptoms that the medical model would like us to believe. If the medical model were correct, then dead people would be the healthiest people because they do not complain of any problems. I have never heard a corpse complain about a headache or back pain, have you?

From our pint of view, health is not a lack of something; it’s not the absence of symptoms or not feeling ill. Health is the ability to perform those activities that are not only essential to life but are essential to achieve our hopes, dreams, increase our level of happiness and to have the energy and capacity to easily handle all the strains and stresses life hands you.

Health is a state of being that automatically brings out the processes of repair, regeneration and homeostasis (adapting properly to your environment). It cannot be ordered around by shear force of will. It can and is affected by mental and emotion states, lifestyle and genetics. Chiropractic doctors are the traditional healer of the western world based upon the vitalistic principles of Hippocrates, the quoted father of medicine who said; "For the cause of disease first look to the spine".

So what is chiropractic….really? What is its purpose? How does a chiropractic adjustment accelerate healing from within? What actually "heals"? These are all the questions I hear people asking as they become weary of drug side effects, enormous medical bills and dangerous surgery.

I would like to answer these questions in this article for you. The answers hopefully are not foreign to you. The staff at Chiropractic & Nutrition Wellness Center try to instill the concepts you are about to read in everyday conversation at the office.

Regular chiropractic care insures that the body receives a consistent supply of what it needs most to stay healthy and pain free - nerve energy, the life force of the body. In this day and age when "energy healing" is a popular buzzword. The biggest challenge that stands in the way of chiropractic being recognized as the foremost form of energy healing is lack of understanding of the chiropractic philosophy by the public.

So what does energy healing have to do with chiropractic? You’ve heard of energy healing and energy medicine, but what do those terms mean to you? "Energy Healing" occurs when a healing method or modality causes the energy field of the person being treated to become harmonious with health and healing. That’s what chiropractic does, better than anything else.

If that sounds strange, recall what you learned in grade school science…namely that all, all, that exists in the Universe is ENERGY. Every day scientists discover and reveal new information confirming that there is one unified field of energy and everything comes out of that field. That means that human beings are energy, and they have an energy field. Energy vibrates, so that the energy of the body is in a constant state of vibration. Each cell, tissue and organ has its own normal rate of vibration. The healthy person is one whose body, and all its parts, vibrates at a rate that is harmonious with health.

For years chiropractors have been saying, "We turn on the energy." Unless the energy is turned on so that there is a free flow of "life force" (nerve energy), the body has no choice but to deteriorate. If there is interference to messages (Innate Intelligence) between the brain and body (which sent and received in the form of vibrations), disease is inevitable.

When a chiropractor removes a vertebral subluxation, he or she alters the way that intelligence expresses through that individual. By removing interference to the free flow of life force, the brain and body are able to give and receive instructions (in the form of vibrations) that keep the three trillion plus cell functioning harmoniously. As a chiropractor I do far, far more than treat disorders or symptoms, for I literally restore life….I reconnect my patients with their Source.

So remember next time you get an adjustment, anything that interferes with nerve energy interferes with health and longevity. You need to know that long before there are symptoms, there is a reduction in life. Also remember that chiropractic is the ONLY healing method that has as its purpose the removal of the interference to healing. So keep you spine functioning properly with regular adjustments and exercise to avoid spinal decay and nerve interference. Remember Innate is in side; your intelligence processor.
