What is Health?

Throughout the years, the interpretations and definitions of health have changed or been distorted and confused. Today instead of having a health care model, most of our healing professions work from a “Sick Care System”.

This Sick Care System looks at the body from a symptomatic point of view. When no symptoms are present it thinks the body is healthy and needs no work. For years most people have been taught to see their doctors when they are sick, have one or more symptoms or when they are uncomfortable. Fast, quick, temporary pain relief has become the order of the day. Conversely, when their body is feeling good, they are taught to leave their body alone.

Chiropractic looks at health in a much different paradigm.
Chiropractic realizes that a symptom, ache or pain is the body’s way of telling us that something is happening. Much like a car, with its indicator lights that tell the driver if the oil is low or the temperature is too high, your body reacts in the same manner through symptoms.

Chiropractic listens to these signals and works with the body, not to turn them off, but rather to find their cause and to correct any interference to the body’s own healing process. Chiropractic also recognizes that the body’s different signs and symptoms do not mean the body is in ill health.

For example, when the body is fighting a virus, the innate response of the body is to create a fever to “burn out” the virus. Though the person with the fever does not feel good because of the aches, pains, chills and headaches, the fever is a sign of health within the body and shows that the body is trying to normalize itself.

The Body Is Self Healing

Chiropractic knows the body has the power to heal itself. Providing the body with the proper internal environment, your body will do the best job it can to create a healthy state of being.

Your Body is an Amazing Machine!

There are few, if any, organisms on our planet today that can match the beauty of the human body from a systems and organizational viewpoint. To put it succinctly, your body is amazing. True health is something all people want for themselves and their loved ones. The fastest way to understand how to be as healthy as possible is to understand the power that is within your amazing body.

Coordinating Your Body’s Activities

The intelligence within your body does a phenomenal job regulating and controlling your health. Your body performs dozens of tasks every day, hour and second. It keeps your heart pumping, digests your last meal, keeps your blood oxygenated and deals with the outside stimuli we encounter during our waking moments.

Looking at how a baby develops, growing from a combination of an egg and a sperm to a complete human being. Clearly, the body is not a random collection of cells and tissue thrown together without an internal plan. Despite all of the physical, chemical and emotional stress your body encounters throughout its day, your amazing body always strives to maintain and coordinate itself.

The Blueprint

What is the controlling feature that places this baby’s two hands at the right positions? How does this body know to put the feet where they belong, to keep the liver on the right side and the kidneys toward the back of the body? What is it that regenerates our skin, blood and organs? Within every body is a blueprint for life and health, run by an intelligence far greater than most minds can imagine.

This innate intelligence shows us how truly amazing our bodies are!
