THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR ADJUSTMENT
Often times as I am delivering an adjustment, practice
members will thank me for their positive response to a previous adjustment.
This is a humbling moment to say the least. I appreciate gratitude and it makes
my day feel so purposeful and inspired. However, we cannot stress enough the
fact that Dr. Jilian and I had very little to do with how your body responds. The
very little thing that we did was introduce a specific force in a specific
direction to restore motion at a specific segment. Restoring motion at a
specific segment is our intention – but your body did the actual work.
Your body receives a mechanical force. It translates this
force into an electrical signal. It transmits this signal up your spinal cord
to your brain. It processes the signal and determines how to best interpret and
utilize the new information. It sends an appropriate signal back down your
spinal cord and out to your peripheral nerves. Your cells receive this
electrical signal and allow your genes to be read at a specific point. Your
cells translate your genetic code into a specific molecule. This molecule may
be used to make new muscle tissue, connective tissue or brain tissue. This
molecule may elicit an immune response and create an antibody to help you
recover from an infection. This molecule may create more insulin, digestive
enzymes, serotonin or growth hormone. This molecule may turn right back around
and repair the very DNA from which it was designed.
This is why I love what I do! I know that a force applied
at a particular location, in a specific direction can elicit harmonious
physiology. Today, we want to thank YOU! Thank you for being an amazing
practice member! Thank you for showing up to invest in your health! We are
always humbled by the body’s amazing innate ability to use a mechanical force
to coordinate massive amounts of healing and growth; the epitome of
chiropractic care for ongoing health.
