Keeping It Simple, Student (KISS) for Health
by Dr. Kevin R. Bowie
by Dr. Kevin R. Bowie
Chiropractic is known as the science of locating and
removing interferences with the transmission or
expression of nerve force in the human body by the
correction of misalignments or subluxations of the bony
structures, more especially of the vertebral column and
pelvis, for the purpose of restoring and maintaining
health. In order to understand our bodies better, we
must know that our bodies have the knowledge and
ability, innate intelligence, to keep us healthy. This
intelligence controls the heart rate, breathing, digestion, and every other organ
and cell in our bodies. If the organs and cells properly receive instructions from
the brain by way of the nervous system, our body is able to reach and maintain its
optimum level of health. However, if there is any interference with the
transmission of those instructions, the result is less-than-optimum health. Our
bodies can no longer function normally.
We have approximately 200 bones in our bodies. Where these bones come
together they form a joint that allows us to move. This area is where
misalignments or subluxations may occur. These changes create interferences to
vital nerve signals on their way to and from the brain. A subluxation may be
caused from any type of stress that is greater than the body can handle. Physical
stresses such as falls, accidents, a difficult birth, sports, computer work, or long
car rides can strain the muscles, ligaments, and joints, causing a subluxation.
Chemical stresses such as pollutants and emotional stresses can cause an
overall tightening of the muscular system and therefore cause spinal strain.
The purpose of chiropractic is to locate and correct subluxations. Although there
are several adjusting techniques, chiropractors accomplish the same thing. They
restore the joint or vertebrae to their normal position or function so that the nerve
flow can resume its normal course thereby restoring health to the corresponding
tissues.
People today are sick and tired of being sick and tired. In order for us to feel
better, change must occur. Most people, of course, do not like change. Change
in our lives interrupts our routines and habits. I feel that understanding the basics
is a great place to start on the road back to health and wellness by understanding
and creating a strong chemical, mental, and physical foundation held by a strong
structure. So, let’s work together to build a healthier lifestyle and reduce chasing
symptoms.
