Brighton Chiropractor discusses why try Chiropractic

Hi, I'm Dr. Robert Moore at Awesome Chiropractic. I'm going to talk to you today about why should you choose chiropractic and why should you choose Awesome Chiropractic. First of all, chiropractic is a distinct profession, it is scientifically validated, scientifically based and we have an art. We are natural, vitalistic, and holistic -- meaning your body can heal itself and that's what we look for is the natural born healer which is you. If you ask any doctor what heals you is you. We also found out is that the vertebral subluxation, which is a vertebrae that has moved out of place, is very common throughout the spine in every person in the world. Science has validated through numerous research studies that it's very common to have a subluxation, joint restriction, causing neurological and biomechanic impairment. Which is the next thing I want to talk about is why we get those things. There are 3 stressors in life and they can cause the subluxation: they are physical stress, chemical stress, and emotional stress. All of these can be concussive throughout your life or they can be rather traumatic. Either way, those 3 stressors can have a negative effect on your body. The vertebral subluxation is always has a biomechanical, joint restrictive component and a neurological component. It chokes off the mechanoreceptors and the proprioceptors - the afferent and efferent motor and sensory inputs from the brain to your heart and your heart to your brain. When we have decreased range of motion, we increase our pain and decrease our mechanoreceptive and proprioceptive input; this decreases motion sensation and position sensation to our brain and that is the most vital nutrient your brain can ever have. With increased pain, we get central sensitization of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. We get more acutely aware of pain. We get more pain than we should have -- we are sensitized to it; then we get increased muscle spasm, we get sympathetic venous constriction (which means your whole body is aggravated). As we increase this pain, as time goes on we get more aggravation, we increase our normal stress response. When I say normal stress response, I mean as if a tiger came in and started chasing you. Your heart is going to pump harder, you're going to have high blood pressure and cholesterol, you're going to become diabetic, and that's all natural. When we have un-natural pain and nociceptive (pain) to our brain because we are not moving and we are not balanced, we get that stress response all the time -- it fires that up. As we decrease normal mechanical joint motion, joint position information from the brain, then we increase our pain and decrease essential nerve input to the brain and cerebellum and brain stem though the cortical loop. This is very detrimental because now your immune system goes down the tubes, women will have problems getting pregnant, digestive problems, internal balance problems. Homeostasis is messed up, emotions are messed up, and we get venous constriction of the sympathetic nerve chain goes crazy. The adjustment restores normal range of motion to the joints, restores normal joint biomechanics, restores normal neurological input to the brain. To get that motion back, we get that position back, we decrease the pain, decrease the sensitization, decrease the stress response. We are going to normalize the cerebellum, the cortical loops so we think clearly, have normal balance, normalize homeostasis, our body works better. So, when we want to be fast, we're fast, when we want to be slow, we can be slow. Our system is balanced internally. Now, science has been validating chiropractic all the time, there's all kind of information to say that -- look up normal neurological testing in the journal, Jama. They just came out validating chiropractic is good for back pain. However, low back pain is going to aggravate everything else. Everyone can benefit from a chiropractic adjustment. It doesn't matter how old you are. If you have a spine, if you have normal motion, if you have normal neurological input to your brain, you will decrease your stress response, you will have a healthier life, you have better balance in your body. You will work better. Every person can benefit and every person can get adjusted. We take care of people who've had low back surgery, mid back surgery, neck surgery, people missing arms or legs. There has to be one vertebral segment that can move and restore balance. If we can restore alignment to that vertebrae, and we can keep the alignment of that vertebrae on that individual, we can make a complete neurological input and a complete neurological benefit to that person.
