“BE THE CHANGE…” (Gandhi)
By Brett V. Franson, D.C.
When you cut your finger, it heals. Cut the finger of a corpse – it doesn’t heal. Why?
Because LIFE heals!! The body does NOT heal itself. The power that runs the body heals the body! That power is LIFE – that power IS YOU! That Life is who you really are.
Your Nerve System is the master system of your body. This is the system through which the Power of Life flows. It is the first system to form while you are inside your mother’s womb. Every other tissue and system is a branch of your Nerve System. It interconnects all other systems, tissues and cells and allows for
communication throughout your body.
In fact, every aspect of human perception and experience is processed through
your Nerve System.
So, it makes sense that if there is any interference in your Nerve System, that
interference compromises your physical well-being and more importantly, it has
psycho-emotional consequences as well.
The truth is interference in your Nerve System (which Vitalistic Chiropractors
call the Subluxation Process) actually distorts your view of the world, your perceptions, interpretations and
expressions. Therefore, the Subluxation Process actually limits your ability to correctly
respond to reality.
When this process accumulates enough in enough people in a society, you will have a sick society. What do you see in our society? How many people do you know who are taking pills for a condition or getting
treatment for an illness whether it be physical or psychological or emotional? Have you noticed we are drugging our nation’s children? How about the elderly? How about YOU?!?
How does this interference – the Subluxation Process – actually occur? Whenever living tissue is subjected to stress that is beyond its ability to
peacefully adapt, it contracts. Stress is defined as anything that causes your body to need to respond or change
in some way. This means anything can be stressful to anyone at anytime. Even breathing and digestion are a stress to your body. As we go through Life, these contractions and patterns of contraction can and do
accumulate within your body and distort your Nerve System – the Subluxation Process. This process is more pronounced as we develop in childhood. Life is much more challenging to children because everything is so new to them.
So, why does the Subluxation Process happen? To help you adapt to the shocks and stresses of Life. It is a natural process. However, if you do not fully integrate your experiences, the stresses of Life
accumulate in your body as tension and compromise the function of your spine
and Nerve System. As a matter of fact, your spine is your Nerve System Tension Regulator! Any misalignment or dysfunction in your spine, whether painful OR NOT, further distorts your Nerve System, thereby further distorting your world view
and experience, not to mention your health and the health of your family!
Chiropractic is focused on three things: Helping you create and maintain a deliberate and positive mental focus; Helping
you improve your Lifestyle habits; and most importantly, Chiropractic
adjustments restore the proper alignment and function of your spine and Nerve
System. Now here is the point that I want you to really get: continuously receiving regular Chiropractic adjustments restores the neurological connections within your body, thus allowing for an increase in and the maximized flow of the Power of Life through your Nerve System, thereby improving your health, your world view and all of your Life experiences!
So why Chiropractic? Because it can help you change your health and even change your entire Life experience! And most importantly, Chiropractic can help you actually, as Gandhi once said, “BE the change you wish to see in the world!!”
