Behind The Spine

And what we want to do for all those people that have decided at this time, it’s not best for ’em to come out and come into our office for these adjustments. We wanna make sure that you are doing everything you can do at home to avoid backsliding as much as possible, at the very least, to slow that process down.

But then our bigger job is to help people to stay well, and the way we help them stay well is to teach and educate.

Yet the miracle of the body is that we can change so much more than than ourself.  Once we achieve a clearer head space, clarity of thinking and better emotional balance, we can positively influence those around us too.

At the Chiropractor at Castlebury, we believe feeling alive and healthy should be considered normal, not the exception

The key to getting the best results possible is realizing that we cannot do this for you. We are going to do this with you.

We first start by taking a history in our office and pay particular attention to your symptoms, but more importantly, your health goals.

Other stressors from toxins such as herbicides, pesticides, medication, and pollution can cause subluxation along with physical trauma such as slip or fall or even microtrauma such as bad habits or posture. So the eighth take home message is that subluxation is caused by stress.

No wonder so many Americans are physically inactive, skip work, suffer from back pain, and take antidepressants like Tic Tacs. If life is a race, we’re only beating ourselves.

Subluxation causes dysfunction in the nervous system at a spinal level that can manifest as symptoms and conditions. You might think chiropractic is about your back and in many ways it is but really it’s about wellness and it all starts with the brain body connection.

The World Health Organization says that subluxations occur when a spinal joint gets jarred out of a healthy position either through traumas or through bad habits. This tweaking and twisting of tissues creates damage to the soft tissue which creates inflammation and causes nerve irritation.

I want you to think of your spine as your suit of armor. It’s your lifeline. In fact your spine protects your spinal cord which is part of your central nervous system just like your skull protects your brain. Remember your brain and spinal cord are one continuous system.

The flow of that intelligence or information across the nerves is what keeps you healthy and healing. All tissues organs and organ systems rely on this nerve system to or nerve supply to function well and stay healthy.

That makes every choice we make in life important. We are either giving our body what it needs, or we’re interfering with its program. So let’s not forget how smart our bodies are. There is an innate intelligence that runs your body.

Once you learn that as a human being you’re designed to be healthy, that you can be healthy. And that as long as your nervous system is operating without any interference your body has the unique ability to heal itself and to function optimally.
