"The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease." - Thomas Edison TUNING YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM So, what is he doing while he is winding or unwinding that small peg on the end of the guitar string? The amount of tension in the guitar string determines the note and hence, the tune that plays when the string is plucked. The skill of the musician is to be able to tune the guitar to make a beautiful sound. Now, try to imagine a funny looking guitar: this one has pegs at both ends of the string so that you can change the tension in the string from either end of the guitar. There is also an extra peg right at the tip of the neck of the guitar, which can also change the tension of all the strings. What we have just described to you is an analogy for the relationship between your spinal column and your spinal cord. The pegs on the guitar are represented by small ligaments which actually hang the spinal cord within the spinal canal. These ligaments are few in number (about half a dozen at both ends of the spine), and only attach between specific vertebrae and corresponding sections of the spinal cord (central nervous system). When a specific command travels down the spinal cord from the brain to the body, or when sensory information is being transmitted back up the spinal cord to the brain, there is a flash of electricity that carries the messages. Quick body responses and sensory perceptions result. At the same time, there is also a low-grade wave of radio frequency traveling up and down your spinal cord that determines the mood or tone of your central nervous system. This affects your level of consciousness and awareness, your mood, as well as metabolic and hormonal functions of your body. Adjustments aim to remove any blockages to the fast acting messages traveling up and down the spinal cord, and at the same time re-balance the overall frequency at which the nervous system is operating. Tonal Model Chiropractic differs from many of the other chiropractic techniques in that it focuses a lot of attention on the tuning pegs - the strategic and vital connection points between the spinal cord and spinal column. As we gently and methodically adjust these areas of your guitar string (spinal cord), we are changing the degree of tension in the central nervous system in an effort to change the notes that result. Hence, the skill of the chiropractor is to be able to tune your spinal cord to find some more beautiful notes. That is, a better level of tension. When many people get up straight after an adjustment, they comment on how their vision seems clearer, the light or view seems sharper, their head feels lighter, their body feels looser, etc. These are all reflections of the central nervous system now operating at a better frequency. The Integrator is the high-tech tool that we use to tune your nervous system. PUT SIMPLY If you have subluxations (interference) to your nervous system (spinal cord), you are likely to experience a lot more than just neck and back pain, such as decreased function of your cells, tissues, and organs. If your nervous system doesnt work right, you dont work right. And when you dont work right, youre not healthy! By removing subluxations, not only will pain and symptoms go away, your general health and quality of life will also improve.
MC2 Explained& Chiropractic techniques fit into 3 basic models based on the three body systems primarily addressed by chiropractors. Chiropractic intimately involves itself with the skeletal system, the muscle system and the nervous system. Therefore, while all chiropractic techniques involve all three systems, the techniques themselves can be differentiated from one another based on their method of assessment and their method of correction. Segmental or skeletal system centered chiropractic techniques adjust vertebrae that are not in their optimum position back to a more normal position and, in so doing, affect the nervous system first and then the muscle system next. Postural or muscle system centered chiropractic techniques first involve putting tension or relaxation within the muscle system in order to allow an easier structural adjustment to take place. In so doing, this approach involves the muscle system first which then affects the skeletal system and then, finally, the nervous system. Tonal or nervous system centered chiropractic techniques are not muscle or bone based but rather focus on the nervous system and the related changes in a persons physiology. As such, tonal chiropractic techniques look at the nervous system first and the doctors input into the nervous system then affects the muscle system which, in turn, affects the skeletal system. Since all three technique models work and produce good results, why would we prefer a tonal approach? The answer comes in understanding how the interference to a persons nervous system takes place to begin with. Did the bone move out of place thus affecting the nerve which then affects the muscle? Bones cannot move by themselves so there must have been a muscle imbalance first. Did the muscle imbalance occur first thereby causing the bone to move out of its normal position? Muscles do not think or act on their own so a muscle imbalance can only be the result of an unbalanced nerve supply to the muscles. So, the bone can only move if a muscle moves it and a muscle will only move when the nervous system tells it to. For us then, it makes more sense to address the nervous system first so all else can follow. |
