Interesting concepts that came out of Sinnott's - Textbook of Chiropractic Philosophy this week.

1. Health comes from inside the patient.
2. "Pain is the bodies way of applying breaks to conscious behavior"
- meaning a natural way of telling you that something is wrong- that make you pause and assess your body.
- Are you paying attention to your bodies alarm system?
4. There are two factors of disease
-the first is deficiency and the second is toxicity.


Todays philosophy quote comes from Clarence Gonstead, DC

"Medicine is the study of disease and what causes man to die
Chiropractic is the study of life and what causes man to live."

Philosophy Monday

Rob Sinnott's, Textbook of Chiropractic Philosophy Vol 1, the definition of chiropractic is as follows

Chiropractic is a philosophy, science and art of things natural; a system of adjusting the segments of the spinal column by hand only, for the correction of the cause of dis-ease.
- Rob Sinnott, DC, DPhCS

The word chiropractor breaks down from Greek roots: "chiro" (from cheir) meaning "hand", and "practor" (from praktos or praktikos) meaning "done" or "practical", essentially meaning "done by hand".

Please share. Watch for tomorrow post!

We really appreciate this analogy of a safety pin! The body- brain dynamic makes sense when you open and close it. Your brain has to be communicating with your body and the only it does that is through your spine.

Adjusted = connected brain and body
Subluxations= disconnected brain and body

What other household objects do you think you can find this weekend that reflect this dynamic?
