Healing Comes From Above Down Inside Out
The Key to unlocking our health by addressing the root cause within our body.
Our body is so complex yet so simple. There are so many complex processes that happen within our body each second of our life. Yet the foundation that manages and coordinates these life sustaining processes functions on a simple principle.
A great way to explain the simplicity of this process using the safety pin cycle analogy. Picture a safety pin, it has a top, bottom and to sides. The top of the safety pin represents our head and brain, AKA the control center of our body. The bottom of the pin represents our body, aka all the organ systems and functions that happen within our body. The sides represent the nerves that travel between the brain and body and between the body and brain.
This system that our body uses to control and regulate all it’s complex functions is just as simple as the safety pin cycle. The brain activates and regulates all the functions by sending and receiving information from the body. A closed safety pin represents a nervous system that is communicating unrestricted. This is the state we are in when we are in great health. Our body is functioning with ease, we are not experiencing aches and pain, degeneration, headaches, migraines, anxiety, digestive issues and so many other signs of dysfunction.
Our healing happens above down and inside out. Our brain coordinates all the healing within the body by communicating with the different organs and areas of the body through the nervous system. Healing is not an outside in process, we cannot take something that changes and improves the function of the body. We can take things that change and reduce symptoms but that doesn’t actually improve the foundational process that heals our body. To help our body heal better we have to address the foundational system. Is our nervous system allowing our brain to communicate with our body and vice versa without disruption? As chiropractors this is what we evaluate and work with every single day, it’s the root cause.
Picture a safety pin that is open, now consider the affect that an open loop or disruption within the nervous system would have on the body. The brain is not able to effectively communicate with the body and control normal functions and carry out the processes of healing.
With chiropractic care our goal is to maintain a complete safety pin cycle, which is a nervous system that is able to communicate without restriction. We don’t just want to work to remove symptoms but we want to determine the root cause and correct it. Any misalignment within the spine has the potential to interfere with the nervous system. Often these changes are subtle or so slight that they are not noticed at first, resulting in issues that are not addressed until they are more severe. However these issues are the root cause, these are what lead to the symptoms that we experience.
Want to get rid of symptoms but also correct the root issue that caused them. Lets work together, it could be your child’s allergies or they are constantly dealing with colds and sicknesses. For you it may be stress at work, aches and pains, headaches or just not feeling your best. No matter if its you or someone in your family let’s take on the root cause together.
