Chiropractic is amazing. We identify and remove interference to normal function. That’s amazing. That means that a person who has for whatever reason lost normal function can with the help of Chiropractic regain normal function. Let me make it clearer PAIN = Abnormal Function – Chiropractic = return to normal function. At the Chiropractic Wellness Centre our chiropractors are experts in identifying where the function is abnormal. For many people it is like turning the lights back on. Our Chiropractors are qualified and registered as Doctors of Chiropractic (DC). So if you have Back Pain, Come and see us.
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.
Dr Andy will be speaking with the Twyver Woman’s Institute Members at Upton St Leonards, Gloucester on Monday night. He will speak on a range of subjects on the night.
Dr Andy Evans MTech (Chiropractic) has been speaking publicly for the last 2 years and has received many recommendations (http://chiropractic-wellness.co.uk/what-our-clients-think) for being inspiring and informative. Using his scientific training and background plus many years of clinical experience Dr Andy manages to simplify some of the more complex intricacies of the brain and nervous system.
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.
At our clinic we ensure at all times that things flow smoothly in a conscious and loving way. We love our patients, thats for sure, and we show this by showing up on time and being present.
There is a flow that occurs from the moment we greet you at the door to the moment that you walk out, we are always conscious of you. This ensures that when you move through to the treatment area you are as calm and relaxed as possible, notwithstanding the amount of pain you might be in.
I am deeply honoured to work with the team that I have because they enable me to help you, the patient, and they help keep The Flow going.
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.
