Your brain is a battery, plain and simple. Your brain controls every single function in your entire body. When your nervous system is working properly, signals should travel freely from your brain to your body, and more importantly, from your body back up to your brain.
You see, just like any battery, your brain needs to be charged. Your brain is charged by movement of your body. Specifically the proper movement of the 24 spinal bones in your vertebral column.
When these bones are not moving properly, this is called the Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC) or Subluxation. This is a fancy term for vertebrae that are not moving correctly in your spine and are stuck in the wrong position. When subluxation is present, the signals that normally charge the brain are severely diminished. The fancy term for this is dysafferentation. This condition is negatively affecting the health of millions.
Because the brain is so wonderful at adapting (it’s the ultimate super-computer), one may not initially feel the effects of subluxation and dysafferentation. However, over time, the results are devastating. Symptoms such as back pain, headaches, neck pain, depression/anxiety, visceral dysfunction, high blood pressure, ADD, ADHD, dizziness, poor balance, weak muscles, etc. will eventually spring up.
Why? Because the brain is not getting charged.
So, how do you charge your brain? It’s simple: MOVEMENT. Get off the couch and move. Walk the dog. Do 10 jumping jacks. Run. Mow the lawn (with a push mower). Any type of movement charges the brain. However, if you want your brain to be super-charged, you need to make sure your spinal vertebrae are moving correctly. Subluxations do not go away on their own. Remember, subluxation is the #1 cause of a poorly charged brain.
Only a comprehensive chiropractic evaluation can determine if you have subluxation or not. Only specific corrective chiropractic adjustments can remove subluxation. Bottom line: GET YOUR SPINE CHECKED BY A CHIROPRACTOR.
You only get one brain in life. Make sure it stays charged.
