Chiropractic and Your Marvelous Machine


Last week I stupidly cut my finger on my Ninja® blender blade doing something I didn’t have to, and knew I shouldn’t do. Anyway, as I tried to staunch the ooze of blood, I reflected on how blessed the majority of us are: we don’t have to do anything special, not even any particular thought process, for our bodies to quickly stop blood flowing from a wound, seal it, and then heal it to a condition very close to the original. This often occurs even in the absence of any care for cleansing or disinfecting the injured area (when I was growing up on the farm I seldom stopped to even wipe the dirt, grease, manure, etc. from my various damaged locations).

Our bodies are marvelous machines, miraculously performing as yet uncounted numbers of different processes which include collecting energy and converting it into a form that can be both used and stored, keeping us warmer when it is cold and cooler when it is hot, moving us around so that our goals can be achieved, repairing structural damage, etc. No matter who or what designed us, the architecture is impressive.

Dr. B. J. Palmer labeled the force that creates our bodies and allows them to perform so effectively as ‘Innate Intelligence’. This force controls and coordinates all the activities of our body and its interaction with our environment, the main organ being our nervous system. When the nervous system is unimpeded ‘Innate’ keeps us healthy, happy, pain-free, and able to accomplish the things we desire – all with minimal conscious exertion. At Val Vista Chiropractic all of our efforts are focused on removing the irritations from your nerves so that you can have the best life possible.

Getting rid of your pain,
