- The Importance of the Neuro-Spinal System -

The nerve system is the brain, spinal cord, spinal nerves, and neurotransmitters. The nerve system is the master system in the human body. Whatever you call it (Spirit for me), the Spirit/Power/Life Energy/Chi (etc. etc.) that makes us Alive uses the nerve system to control and coordinate all human physiology...it is what makes the mind and body work properly! The nerve system is the medium used to carry our Life Energy that is encoded with information, in the form of mental impulses, from the brain cells to the tissue cells and from the tissue cells back to the brain cells. It is the 'Innernet'.

It is by far the most important system of our body.

The spine and nerve system go hand in hand. The spine is loaded with mechanoreceptors (a neurological relay system to the brain that monitors spinal movement and function). These receptors greatly influence brain function. When the spine is functioning properly, the whole nerve system benefits - and when our whole nerve system benefits our whole being benefits. The spine is so important for overall health, healing and well being.

The spine houses and protects the spinal cord, which is the information highway of our being. It is not only the “health key board” of our body but also is its support structure; just like the “spine” of a building.

The spine is our back, which is what is behind us: our past! The spine harbors all the past experiences we could not properly process and integrate. It is also where we carry everything that we do not want the world to see. It is where we store our “baggage” and our stresses. Many past patterns that no longer serve us lay stagnant, stuck there, affecting our being and physiology.

Let me apply this to you and your life. Think about this: The specific chiropractic adjustment process restores the neurological connections between your brain and body back to optimal levels. The adjustments allow your 'Innernet' and 'human computer' to process and integrate the complexity in your daily life with ease and efficiency. With lifestyle chiropractic care you will increase your inner resistance and resilience, keeping yourself strong on the inside. With ongoing adjustments stress and tension is consistently released and a new physiology emerges, a new quality of life is available, a new “you” unfolds, healing is possible.
