It’s More Than You Think... by Dr. Fulmore
What is keeping you from functioning at 100%? Chiropractic is more than you think! Everything your body does
has a relationship with your nervous system. Heal a cut, snap your fingers, speed up your heart rate, listen for your
baby’s cry, turn food into blood cells, fight off infection… all the result of a functioning nervous system.
Mental impulses leave the brain and travel down the information superhighway of your spinal column to every cell,
tissue, organ and system of your body. Then a signal is sent to your brain so it knows that everything is working ok.
If controlling mental impulses are missing or impaired, the organs and tissues controlled by the affected nerve do
not work as they should. Numbness, tingling and pain can be experienced, setting the stage for all types of diseases
and ill health. Irritated nerves can overstimulate affected organs or tissues, contributing to allergic reactions,
twitching, excess stomach acid and other types of hyperactive organ functions. These types of responses are
called symptoms.
Frequently, this interference comes from 24 moving bones of the spinal column and the surrounding soft tissues
such as muscles, tendons, ligaments and discs in your spinal column that permit you to turn and bend, while
allowing nerve roots on either side to exit from between each spinal joint.
These nerves connect your brain with the organs and tissues of your body. When the bones of the spine lose their
normal motion or position, nerves can be stretched, rubbed, choked or irritated.
When this occurs, health problems may be the ending result. Doctors call this vertebral subluxation or more
commonly, subluxation.
Symptoms Occur When Nerve Function Is Impaired
We usually seek care for subluxation when we have pain or other symptoms. Subluxation can affect organs and
tissues that do not sense pain, so you can actually have one right now but not know it. This is true with any healthrelated problem. Often, the first sign of cardiovascular disease is a deadly heart attack. Just relying on how you feel
is a poor measure of your health.
Chiropractic seeks to find the cause of your problems and help correct subluxations that may be interfering with
your nervous system. This is done through chiropractic adjustments. Adjustments help bones and the surrounding
soft tissues to remain in their proper motion and position, relieving symptoms.
You are a self-regulating, self-healing organism - not a machine. True health is your natural state and is programmed
into your cells and expressed through your nervous system when there isn’t any interference. Try chiropractic
