Healing is a natural part of life, it is as natural as breathing. You are healing a myriad of things in your body right now as you are reading this article.
So what goes wrong, why do we suddenly stop healing or fail to heal a particular “problem”. This is the question that must be answered in any diagnostic assessment. When a patient walks into my office I am very attentive to what systems in their bodies are failing to heal. Very often in my experience it is the brain and nervous system that is failing to heal, but it could be the hormonal system. Whichever it is it is my responsibility as a practitioner to attend to that system as well as the specific pain presented.
From the understanding that when we touch a body it immediately responds to that touch and so we can find ways to interact with another body to bring about healing. It is very important that all practitioners learn how to touch another human being.
We were born to be healthy! The way I know this is because when I cut myself my body heals. So it is self healing! When I go out into the cold or go for a run or eat some food my physiology changes it adapts therefore I am self regulating! I dont have to even think about it! Thats amazing.
Every physician should hold as their main column or support the above self evident FACT.
We certainly do at the Wellness Centre. So when you walk through the door we are interested in the whole organism because we want to know where the system failed and that is where we will focus our attention to get the body to heal itself and regulate itself correctly again. Come on in and get checked because your health is your responsbility.
Dont wait till it is too late because most people regret it.
What is chiropractic? I mean what is chiropractic really. Fundamentally, Chiropractic is the identification and removal of nervous system interference. This allows you to get well, stay well and live a better life.
Perception is reality. This leads us to 2 points really:
1.) If our only reality is within our own perception then what is our perception and is it accurate and;
2.) What is reality really.
Well we can understand that we percieve the world through our 5 senses (maybe more because we also have a sense of balance or proprioception). And that our magnificent brains reconstruct an internal world based on the neurological impulses coming from those different sensory organs on different and separate parts of our bodies. Think about it, your view of the world is entirely made up of a reconstruction created by your brain based on the evidence presented by the sense organs along the nerves. Your brain is entirely encased in a skull it is entirely dependant on reliable information coming from your senses along the nerves.
Isn’t this just mindblowing. It is a miracle that we appear to percieve the world so accurately.
Motivation.
What motivates a person? Well it could be one of two things. Pain avoidance or pleasure seeking. Pain avoidance certainly works very effectively for short term things as with Pavlov’s dog but the truth is that humans forget pain very quickly and so the fear subsides. So Pain avoidance and fear is a weak motivator. Pleasure seeking is a good motivator because a person will put up with a fair amount of pain in order to get the pleasure. When pleasure is achieved once it is well remembered the desire to achieve it again can be huge.
It is the motivation of pleasure seeking that we attempt to use in our practice. We draw a picture of what a healthier life might look like and show you ways of achieving it. This is why our motto is “We help people to get well, stay well and live better lives.” Come on in and get your assessment so that you and your family can live a better life.
Research in neuroscience has found that the brain is where emotions are felt, this then causes the limbic system to respond with a specific hormonal cascade and altered physiology related to that emotion. If the emotion arrives and moves quickly through the system then no permanent change in physiology will be noted, however, if the emotion is prolonged then the physiology will change over this prolonged period of time. This causes organs associated with this emotions’ physiology to change too.

Shelby Powell, Tewkesbury Business Breakfast Club
I had a great breakfast and talk this morning at the Tewkesbury Business Breakfast Club with Richard Chatham the owner of Sherdon’s Golf Course as the gracious host and Shelby as the very efficient organiser.
So why aren’t we measuring brain function and nerve function to identify the cause of disease? Why are we still measuring the blood and blood components to measure the effect of the disease which is the deteriorating organ? The answer is simple: It’s because we don’t have any instruments that can accurately measure the function of the brain and nervous system.
The Medical industry has geared it’s entire structure to the measurement of the function of the organs (symptoms) through the blood. Chiropractors have a secret that most other professions haven’t cottoned onto yet. We have an early warning system that indicates any deterioration in nervous system function and we have a way to correct that deterioration so that either the organs are prevented from further malfunction or malfunction is prevented entirely.
At the Chiropractic Wellness Centre We Empower You To Get Well And Stay Well Through The Chiropractic Lifestyle.
P.S. Some chiropractors have forgotten this!
