THE POWER THAT CREATED THE BODY, HEALS THE BODY |
| |
| Although most people think of
back pain and neck pain when they hear the word "chiropractic",
Chiropractic is really about helping people live healthier, fuller
lives. Our nervous system controls and coordinates everything
that occurs in our body. The brain communicates with the body
through the spinal cord and spinal nerves which exit at every level
of our spinal column. The body communicates with our brain in the
reverse order. A subluxation is a misalignment of a vertebral
segment that causes interference in the flow of information to and
from the brain. Chiropractic adjustments remove the subluxations
that cause interference to our nervous system. |
| |
| Chiropractic is based on the
belief that our same innate intelligence that can grow a complex
human being from a single cell, can also heal the body if it is free
of interference. For example, if you cut your finger, it will heal
by itself without you even having to think about it. Also, if the
area of the spine that supplies nerve function to the intestines is
subluxated, the information from the intestines to the brain will be
distorted. Also, commands from the brain concerning the function of
the intestines will be disrupted and you may experience abnormal
function of your intestines. This is the case for every cell,
tissue, muscle, organ and organ system in the body. When the
nervous system is free of interference, it functions more optimally
and the body is able to heal itself. |

| True health is more than the
absence of disease. True health comes from within the body and not
from the outside such as with drugs or surgery. True health comes
from Above, Down, Inside, Out. |

Children and
Chiropractic |
| |
| All parents want to maximize
their children's health, and you should take a proactive approach in
keeping your children healthy. It is critical to understand that
your child's brain and nervous system controls and coordinates every
function of the body, including the immune system, biochemistry, and
hormones. Your child's nervous system also controls how the body
heals and regulates. Thus, you want to make sure that your child's
spine and nervous system are developing and functioning properly.
All children, from birth onward, should be checked on a regular
basis to determine whether there are spinal postural alterations,
which can negatively affect the child's nervous system and the way
the child's body heals and regulates. |
| |
| Drs. Silva, as well as
chiropractors across the nation, are seeing that CHILDREN
THRIVE WITH CHIROPRACTIC. Drs. Silva treat children
with conditions such as: ADD/ADHD, Autism, Colic, ear
infections, general ill health, bed-wetting, stuttering, learning
disabilities, constipation/diarrhea, and the list goes on. The
doctors hate to see children on drugs that are usually avoidable
with chiropractic care. |

Are You Pregnant? |
| |
| Chiropractic may make your
pregnancy more comfortable. Studies have shown that women are able
to carry and deliver children with more comfort when receiving
chiropractic care. Back pain, which is a common symptom in
pregnancy, may indicate the presence of spinal subluxations.
Correcting subluxations can ensure that both mother-to-be and the
unborn child have the best opportunity to have a healthy pregnancy
and birth. |

Feeling vs. Healing
|
| |
| Pain is typically the last thing
to show up and the first thing to go away in the care of health
conditions. Pain is the tip of the iceberg and the true
problem lies under the surface. Therefore, the presence or absence
of pain is rarely related to tissue healing. Research suggests that
the healing of the supportive tissues of the spine continues well
after the pain is gone. |
