welcome to the world of chiropractic
hello, this is lily
even though we have 2 licensed, regulated and professional chiropractic schools in france, it is still poorly understood.
is it osteopathy, is it physiotherapy, do we hurt people, is it scientifically backed and more?
I will do my best
to share what it is and how it has helped millions, and continues to help millions of people around the world - naturally - working with our bodies innate ability to self heal, self regulate and to find its homeostatic state of balance.
if we cut our finger, does it heal without us consciously telling it to do so?
when we eat food, does it get digested, automatically, without us consciously telling the body to do so?
do we consciously tell our hearts to beat or our lungs to fill with air?
the clear answer is no,
it happens automatically and naturally under the direction of our
innate inteligence
our very existence is dependant on this innate intelligence which is expressed as life though our
nervous system.
this is perhaps the most important concept to understand when we talk about chiropractic.
lets look at it more pragmatically
1
the nervous system is the master system.
it controls everything that takes place in our bodies, all function - immune, hormonal - self healing healing, self regulation…….everything.
this incredible system is used by our innate intelligence to express what we know as life.
2
the spine is the highway upon which the nervous system travels through our bodies
3
a spine that is in good shape,
like a good auto route allows for better flow of information from the brain to the body via our nervous system, giving us the best chance of optimal function and a condition of health.
a spine that is in good shape
for a chiropractor is one that one that holds you in good posture, is flexible, has freely movable vertebra, good disc spaces, minimal degenerative arthritic changes and is free of subluxations/blockages.
4
a spine in poor shape,
with multiple subluxations/blockages, lacking freely movable vertebra, lacking flexibility - like a poor autoroute - gives us decreased nerve flow, decreased information received by the body, an increase in the stress state of being, a lack of balance and ultimately dysfunction and dis-ease.
5
my responsibility as your chiropractor
is to restore the integrity of your spine so that integrity to the master systems can be restored.
this is done through the art of finding subluxations/blocages by hand, reducing and/or removing them, specifically and gently so that the body can do what it does best - self heal, self regulate and find its balance.
one of the biggest misconceptions
we have about our health is that if we don’t hurt then there is nothing wrong with us and accordingly we do not need to do anything, including spinal hygiene through regular chiropractic care.
nothing could be further from the truth
do we brush our teeth because they hurt?
I think not.
we brush them to avoid them hurting and to help them function optimally.
it is true that we can remove a tooth and live well.
it is also true that we can’t remove a vertebrae and live at all.
the concept of proactive spinal hygiene
is not in the general consciousness …. yet, but based on the fact that the spine determines the function of the master system, the system that controls everything, perhaps it should be.
this is to say that you
do not need pain in your back to come see me.
all you need is a spine, a nervous system, a desire to function optimally on all levels and I will do the rest.
I welcome the opportunity
