Why Chiropractic?
 

God has fearfully and wonderfully made us in our mother’s womb.  He stitched each and every one of us together with multiple bands of strength via our structure of bones, muscles, ligaments, organs, and our vast nervous system.   

 

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1: 1) “(And on the 
sixth day) God created man in His own image…” (Genesis 1: 27).  “Then the Lord God
formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and 
man became a living being.” (Genesis 2: 7). 

 

What an amazing miracle performed by God Almighty!  Not only did He create man & woman, He created in each of them a 
remarkable, multifaceted, complex symphony of designs…the physical, mental, and spiritual beings that God designed from the beginning of time.  

 

According to Psalm 139: 13 to 16…the Scripture states the following:  
“For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb.  I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.  My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;  Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them.”

​

When God created us, He prominently positioned the nervous system throughout our human frame that allows the electrical energy to course from our brain to the rest of our human body to help us live life to its fullest potential.  The nervous system (CNS, PNS, and ANS) connects every cell, tissue, organ and movement to control each aspect of our body...we must rely on this electrical energy and the uninterrupted connection to function at our highest level…this understanding is only a glimpse of this deeply complex system we call life. 

​

Since we were made in His image, it would only stand to reason that God would create our hands with the ability to help, to serve, and to heal others.  For example, the human hand is made of 27 different bones.  Eight of these are located in the wrist alone…allowing us to flex, extend, and deviate the hand left and right.  When you compile all the bones, muscles, nervous system, and ligaments together, one can flex, extend, grasp, pull, push, deviate, rotate, softly touch, or make a fist for defense…The hand is remarkable!

​

To use the human hand to perform a “menial” task such as picking up a pen is actually a complicated movement which involves multiple muscles, ligaments, bones, arteries, and nerves.  The following mechanisms have to occur before you can pick up a pen or an object: “The long flexors and extensors stabilize the interphalangeal, metacarpophalangeal, and carpometacarpal joints and provide a good arch for the thumb and index fingers.  This arch creates an effective “O” type pinch.  The lumbricals and the interossei must be functional to provide the finger pinch motion.”   Thus, revealing the complexity of movement to achieve a simplistic task like picking up a pen...or a complex task like delivering an adjustment through Chiropractic care.  

​

• Chiropractic:  Chiro = Hand      Practic = practice   (To Practice with your hands to help heal this world one spine at a time!)

​

There are three main causes of "Subluxations" (misalignment of functional spinal units / segments)...Trauma - Thoughts - Toxins.  A "subluxation"  will and can cause interference with the nervous system and will create an imbalance(s) throughout the body, thus, leading to further complications up and down the spine. 

 

For example, often, we can "subluxate our foot and have symptoms in our neck (cervical spine).  If you subluxate your foot with a shifting of your heel bone (calcaneus) you might develop foot pain and this subluxation in turn can place abnormal stress on your hip (sacro-iliac joints).  If your hip is not functioning correctly, this can affect your sacrum, thus, causing torsion up and down the spine.  The "Ah-Shi" ("ouch point") might reveal itself in the neck, but its primary problem can be found in the foot.  It's like holding a piece of rope...one hand at the top and one hand at the bottom (stretched out).  The hand at the top holds the rope tight and still, while the hand at the bottom is twisting the bottom portion of the rope...it's not long before you feel the torque and torsion at the top portion of the rope...it's the torsion at the bottom causing the tightening of the rope at the top!    
 

When you peer into the window of the human being and see all the wonders, you cannot help but admire the design of the bones, muscles, ligaments, cells, and the internal and external organs.  We are created and designed to function as a whole…so that one system…one structure…one organ will rely on the other systems, structures, and organs.  Any imbalance can cause subluxations throughout the body. 

 

The main cause of the "Subluxation complex" usually revolves around one of these three items:  trauma, thoughts, toxins...or all three!  That is why, as practitioners, we are trained to find these dysfunctions and help release these restrictions and allow the body to heal itself and to function the way God has designed.

​

We are designed to exist and thrive in this world that we live in.  God designed us to be able to adapt and overcome…to live and handle the stresses that come our way.  When we have subluxations or imbalances via trauma, thoughts or toxins, then we need help…help that Chiropractic can offer. 

 

We need to stop, look, and listen to the body that was so fearfully and wonderfully made!  Hopefully, we might hear, see, and unravel a hidden secret…and experience just a whisper of God’s glory!

 

I believe that Thomas Edison said it best when it comes to taking care of our patients:

 

“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the

                                                               human frame, diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.”
