When you feel tired, or not quite up to par, you compare your own body mechanism to that of a watch. “I’m run down,” you say.
Not a bad comparison. Why not carry it one step further? When a watch is run down and doesn’t work properly, we have to have it adjusted. You can do the same for your body—through chiropractic adjustments.
The result in both cases is the same. The watch and the body are both made up of hundreds of tiny parts, all of which must be meshed together in perfect coordination and balance, with nothing to impede the flow of vital energy. The mainspring of the watch is its “brain.” With human beings, the brain is the mainspring of all of our action; the brain is the capital of the body, the seat of all the nervous forces and of mental actions—conscious and unconscious. Our system of interlocking gears and mental impulses are conveyed to all nerves of the body and they control the vital action of the system. The skull and spine house all the nerves.
Shock, fatigue, repetitive work, stress, a fall, or any one of a hundred causes can throw the spine off-balance and interfere with proper channeling of nerve impulses from the brain to other organs of the body. When we’re “run down” it’s a symptom that, like our watches, we need “adjusting.”
The doctor of chiropractic care corrects the distortions that have altered or obstructed the proper channeling of nerve impulses restoring the body to the desired equilibrium.
