Upper Cervical Care is really about something greater then chiropractic, it’s about the way we were created and how that affects how we live and heal. We live in an on demand culture that leaves no room for time sensitive processes such as health. Most medical advances emphasize the ability to feel better and to feel better as quickly as possible. But if we were to start at the beginning, we would realize ,from conception to birth, that time is necessary for our bodies to develop properly. It is the reason why most premature babies have trouble with their health throughout their lives. We need those nine months to be developed enough to live outside of our mother’s womb but even then our immune system, nervous system, digestive system, endocrine system, and reproductive system are developing into our early twenties. If time is essential to our growth and development then it would be logical to assume that time is essential to true healing and health.
The second part to this equation is whether health can really come from an outside source. If we take the time to study what happens in the womb, we would find that there is a greater power that directs each of the millions of cells being divided each day to become what would be our liver or lung, or even heart. Although mothers have an important role in promoting proper conditions for her child to grow, the actual direction and orchestration of the human embryo is done by a higher power, God. Whether you are a spiritually or scientifically minded person, the evidence points to a higher intelligence that is responsible for the creation and healing of the human body.
So how does Upper Cervical Chiropractic fit in? As an Upper Cervical Chiropractor, it is my goal to allow the intelligence that created you to flow freely in your body. When that happens, health happens. Health that is true and real is not based on relief of symptoms but fullness of life. We have found that the brain stem is the physical conduit of that intelligence and it is our jobs to be caretakers of your brain stem. There are more details that I can touch on as we move forward but for my first post I wanted to take a look from 10,000 feet. My hope is that this blog will remind us of how wonderfully and fearfully each one of us is made.
