Often we hear stories about people under Chiropractic care and it sounds like they are super humans or some giant miracle of health has occurred.
Jamie has not been sick or had a cold in over two years!
Jenny was able to come off high blood pressure medication!
Jeremy went from NOT being able to walk to completing his first 10K run.
What is really happening in each of these situations? Did Chiropractic cure the common cold, hypertension or reverse paralysis?
Each of these could be classified as a miracle since most people get sick every few months, most people who start on medication stay on those meds for the rest of their lives, and most people who lose the ability to walk stay paralyzed.
As obesity, sickness and disease become more common, are we forgetting what normal is? It seems that way.
Does normal healing then become a miracle?
A miracle can be defined as: "an extraordinary and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore attributed to a divine agency.”
The thing is, these situations are NOT miracles but attributable to the body’s own ability to heal and recover. What makes these events appear as miracles is that the outcome was not within the realm of possibility of the person healing or the people viewing the recovery.
There are no miracles, just your body striving for normal function. Health is your normal state, allow your body to express it.
The body is constantly in a process of healing and replacing itself with new parts, i.e. cells.
So if the body is constantly re-created then why does it re-create itself in a sick state?
Our bodies are influenced by both our internal and external environments. Our internal environments are always striving for health and optimal function. The external environment produces both support and challenge to what is being coordinated inside. If the adaptive ability of our body is overcome, the body and tissue may break down. If the same stress remains in your environment which created that change, the body will keep re-creating itself in a sick state.
We have three choices. We can remove the stressor, change the perception of that stress (easier said than done) or enhance our body’s ability to handle the stress.
Removing the stress is not always possible if the stress is due to your occupation or daily habits.
Changing the perception of the stress is possible if it is a psychological stress. You can change the way you communicate to other people or the way in which you talk to yourself.
You can work to make your body stronger, enhancing its ability to handle stress. One of the best ways to do this is through regular Chiropractic check ups and adjustments when necessary. This will ensure your nerve system communicates effectively. When your nerve system is working at its best, health becomes your default state. Your body has a greater ability to re-create and re-build itself in an organised and healthy way. This allows you to be able to handle more stress.
When your body is healing from a challenge, whether sudden or long-standing, it works best when its nerve system is optimal.
There are no super-humans, just people expressing normal healing and function. The body is truly remarkable and has a truly unique ability to heal and recover.
