When the amount of invading stress which the body must adapt to overwhelms the internal resistance power of the innate intelligence, your level of health decreases and you are less capable of expressing health at the level God intended for you. Subluxation This condition of overwhelming stress is called subluxation. A subluxation is a separation of wholeness in the physical body. Over a period of time, subluxations create dis-ease. Dis-ease occurs when the body loses its ability to adapt properly to the environment.
Symptoms usually result, and if symptoms are ignored or masked, full blown disease can follow.
The result can be different in different people. The variety of potential problems is immense, but the cause is very similar, i.e. the body has encountered so much destructive stress that it can no longer adapt adequately and sickness results. The role of chiropractic in the healing and wellness process, is in correcting or reducing the level of stress built up in the body. This is accomplished through specific adjustment procedures designed to restore normal motion of the vertebral segments, so that the nervous system is free to carry life to every tissue cell in the body. The chiropractic evaluation is specifically for the detection of a vertebral subluxation, and the adjustment is intended to restore normal function of the spine and nervous system so the body has a better chance of healing the way it was designed.
