Autumn is here – have you noticed the leaves turning yellow and red, brown, then falling off the trees. Now lying on the ground they will decompose and provide nutrients for the tree they came from. The tree will grow and in spring will produce little buds that will unfold to bright green leaves? Have you ever stopped to ponder over the circle of life, or over what laws or intelligence that governs these cyclic patterns? What is it for instance that makes flowers turn their heads towards the light, birds sit on their eggs until they hatch, the tides changing with the moon?  According to the Philosophy of Chiropractic, all living things have an inborn (innate) intelligence that tells them how to grow, live, heal and survive.

The human body is a perfect example of the expression of this intelligence – e.g. when your body needs nutrients, you feel hungry. When you cut your finger, your body knows how to close the wound, stop the bleeding and heal the cut. When you have eaten something wrong – your body knows how to expel it. When you’ve caught the flu or a cold, your body knows how to fight it. When you start to overheat – your body will cool you down by sweating. And so – the body is an incredible self-healing, self-regulating mechanism. It has a unique communication system (the nervous system) which monitors every move and every change to the environment – internally and externally.      A well-nourished, well-rested and well-functioning body is able to react to changes fast.        A tired and poorly functioning body will struggle and use a lot of energy – leaving you exhausted. The purpose of chiropractic adjustments is to help your body function optimally, so it is better able to tackle and recover from illnesses and injuries. Chiropractic is wellness for the whole body, it is a life style – make it yours!!
