KEEPING IT REAL – WE ALL NEED CHIROPRACTIC CARE
The first time I ever looked at a chart of the nervous system, the word playbook is what came to mind. To this day, that’s how I teach it! Keeping it very simple but accurate, the playbook can be taught like an owners manual or instructions AND EASIER THAN IKEA!
It’s hard to take ownership over something you don’t understand or have a grip on.
In this post, I use a banana to help give you a visual of what I’m trying to get across so you can understand it better.
The brain controls all functions in the body. It also controls, runs and regulates all muscle function and organ function. it does this through software called the NERVOUS SYSTEM. The nervous system has 3 parts, the brain, the spine and the spinal cord. Branching off the spinal cord are nerves which transmit messages like text and data to all parts of the body 24/7. Our software is protected by our hardware. A banana peel protects the banana like the skull protects the brain & the spine protects the spinal cord and nerves!
Emotional, physical and chemical stressors are placed on the body each and every day and can slowly and gradually bend, alter and change the position of our spines. Every degree of misalignment can influence our health negatively and bring us one movement closer towards pain and suffering. If we change the shape of a banana, it will break, bruise or smush, and there is no debating that. Similarly, as the spine changes position it starts to push and press on and/or irritate the spinal cord and nerves.
Let’s change the way we look at things so the things we look at can change.
If we wanna feel better consistently then we need to make sure that our spinal health is on our top 5 priority list!
