The simplest explanations are often the ones that really make an impact on people. This was brought home to me at a recent seminar attended by our staff. Although they work in a chiropractic office and understand what we do as chiropractors, how chiropractic works really clicked with them when one of the speakers discribed the "Safety Pin Cycle". Perhaps this analogy will also help you understand chiropractic better.
When the body is functioning properly the brain is communicating with every cell, tissue and organ in the body. Every cell, tissue and organ is also in direct communication with the brain. Both paths are uninterupted; just like a closed safety pin.
Problems arise when there is a disruption of either of the paths of communication. The safety pin is open. The body enters a a state of dis-ease where it no longer functions optimally. Over time dis-ease produces disease and ill health.
The most common place for nerve interference to occur is where nerves exit the spine to go to all areas of the body. This happens when the spinal bones lose their normal motion and position. The term for this occurrence is a vertebral subluxation. Correcting vertebral subluxations to restore normal nerve function is what chiropractors do. We are closing the open safety pin.
