Side Effects of the Chiropractic Adjustment

Recently there has been a growing attack on chiropractic and children launched by foes of our profession and some misguided practitioners. The reason and rational as to why children can benefit from chiropractic care is simple:

Life is a process. Health is a process. Disease is a process. Healing is a process and Wellness is a process that encompasses both Health and Disease.

The pathological process of disease can be broken down into two phases.

A silent, asymptomatic, dis-ease, vertical phase.
An expressive, symptomatic, disease, horizontal phase.

With time the silent phase becomes symptomatic. So the fact that one does not present symptoms does not in anyway revealed one's state of health. In other words one needs not to be sick to get well !

Since chiropractic addresses the neurological interference caused by vertebral subluxation, it does not take a genius to see that anything that gives more freedom to the nervous system must have a positive impact on the capacity of the body to heal, adapt and recover.

Chiropractic does not claim to be a treatment, a cure or a panacea for symptoms, sickness and disease. What chiropractic states it can do, is to give the human being a greater freedom of adaptability, healing and recovery by clearing the nervous system of interferences caused by vertebral subluxations.

Whatever symptomatic alleviation and results follow happen to be positive side effects of the adjustments. Obviously chiropractic would not have grown to become the largest drugless healing profession in the world if people did not get positive improvements. This is the evidence that clinically the chiropractic adjustment has a positive impact on human physiology.

So why wait until people have become a pathological mess to offer them chiropractic when they can benefit from the onset of life. Giving a child the opportunity to grow up with greater freedom, adaptability and healing power is truly the gift of love and life. So remember that one need not to be sick to get well.
