5- So, what is the purpose of 'proper nerve flow or function' as mentioned in the previous post? That would then go back to the purpose of the brain and nervous system. Books are written on this topic but to grossly summarize in a few words, I'd say the brain is to predict, coordinate, and adapt to the environment. In medical terminology you might here the words homeostasis or homeodynamics. This is essentially the constant adaptations required to maintain health. In philosophical terms we could say that the nervous system is the information mechanism to allow the full expression of innate intelligence. Again, this is another book and maybe we can explore that idea a bit further. No matter which descriptor we use (innate intelligence, homeostasis, or homeodynamics) we can say that proper communication of the brain and to the organs and back again to the brain is necessary. Therefore, in chiropractic, we want to remove any obstructions impeding this process. What these obstructions are and how they got there is for another post.

4- I have no intention to explain all of the different techniques in chiropractic; again this is simply an extremely basic history off the top of my head whenever I sit down to do this. But,,, over time, DD Palmer would keep notes on which segments of the spine healed different ailments. For example, the L5 for excessive period pains, sacrum for irregular cycles, c1 or c0 for vertige, c3 for tinnitus, t4 for bradycardia, or the segment(s) for immune function, skin disorders, various psychotic disorders, blood pressure, etc etc. This application is rarely used these days, however, there are some tendencies that are commonly found simply due to anatomy and neurology: this organ is supplied by this nerve which exits the spine at this level... Nowadays, it's more common to see various techniques that are soley focused on correcting dysfunctions of the spine without the direct intent of healing a specific ailments but more with the intent of allowing the nervous system to function optimally. This idea will be continued....

3) Continuing off the idea from the last post, now this heads into a bit of the philosophy of chiropractic. The idea of restoring proper nerve flow, or removing obstructions to proper nerve flow, aligns with the understanding that the body is a self-healing organism. In medicine, this principle is utilized in some areas and not in others. For example, no doctor can heal a cut to the skin or a fractured bone. Stitches might be utilized to close a wound but the body still heals it. Surgery might be necessary to approximate parts of a fractured bone but the body heals itself. Chiropractic thrives off of optimizing the body's potential for healing and performance to allow the body to function as it should. Chiropractic amplifies life.

Chiropractic as we know it today begain in 1895 by D.D. Palmer in Davenport, Iowa. Of course, I have to point out (because I'm Canadian) that Palmer was from Port Perry, Ontario, Canada :) He essentially took the long lever manipulation of the spine and refined it to a short lever specific adjustment. His aim of an adjustment was to improve the specific segmental mechanics of a vertebral motion unit for the purpose of allowing proper nerve flow from the brain to the body and from the body to the brain. Essentially to remove stress on the spine that causes nerve irritation. As an example, pressure on a spinal nerve root equating to the weight of a dime (I would guess it's between a 2 or 5 cent piece in Europe) causes a 'facilitated lesion'. That means the rate of nerve impulses speed up through the nerve. It's important to note here that almost all pathologies are essentially too much or too little function of an organ or tissue; kind of like turning up or down a dimmer switch on a light bulb.

1) Let's start with a SMALL bit of history. Spinal manipulation goes back to 4000BC; Hypocrates, considered the father of medicine, also performed spinal manipulation and he's famously quoted as saying, 'for the cause of all disease, look well to the spine'. He would put mud on patient's backs and wherever the mud dried first, he postulated that that was where there was inflammation and would proceed to manipulate that area- great starting point for an idea; of course it wasn't fully accurate because of the heat from organs. Nonetheless, he had good results - see the quote above. You'll notice I used the word 'manipulation'. That will change soon along with an explanation...

I don't remember the last time I ever posted anything here; I rarely use social media. However, I was thinking to start making small posts to explain a bit of the history and philosophy of chiropractic and how I practice more specifically my brand; just a bit at a time. They won't be well composed, just off the top of my head... Maybe i'll also write some of my answers to common questions I hear everyday- so go ahead and ask some of your questions here. If they're more personal then of course send them privately.
