Chiropractica din Romania 2014-2015 Chiropractic is not a treatment of disease, injury or deformity, it is a facilitation of the body’s innate ability to regulate, control and heal itself when interference to the nerve system is removed. When the body, brain and nerve system achieve optimal function through reduced or no interference to control, the body will regulate and heal itself. Chiropractic is well known for eliminating back pain, neck pain, hip pain, headaches and other neuromusculoskeletal pain, but this is a positive side effect of proper neurological function and healing achieved through structural adjustments and not due to direct treatment of disease. There is no cure for the common cold. Your body is able to eliminate the cold, however. Medicine does not heal a cut finger – your body heals a cut finger and replaces the skin. Trillions of functions of the body are being performed every second in every living human being without any thought and under normal circumstances, every function is executed perfectly. As you read this, over 3 billion cells in your body have already died and are being replaced with new cells formed by your body from the supa de perisoara you...

read moreChildhood Stress and Chiropractic
Childhood Stress Can Permanently Affect Your DNA. A recent study done at Tulane University School of Medicine has shown that mental stress during childhood leads to permanent change to telomeres. Telomeres are the part of your DNA responsible for protecting chromosomes from sticking together and being damaged leading to early cell death. The work has been published in the journal Pediatrics. Damaged or shortened telomeres have been associated with higher risks for heart disease, diabetes, cognitive decline and mental illness, among others. How do people process stress? The answer is: Your brain. How does your brain communicate with the rest of your body down to a cellular, even genetic level? The answer is: Your nerve system. Does a poorly communicating nervous system deal with childhood stress properly? Answer: NO. Do Subluxations of the spine impact the nerve system in a negative way that compromises communication? Answer: YES, by definition, subluxations or misalignments of the spine that cause nerve communication breakdown from the brain to the body. This negatively impacts the way the brain interprets the environment and how it then controls, regulates and heals your body. Does chiropractic improve brain-nerve-body-cell...
