Why Full Body Chiropractic Adjusting Gets You Better, Faster….

“Chiropractors don’t take pressure off nerves – they put pressure on MechanoReceptors…”– Dr. Ted Carrick

MechanoReceptor input (found on all internal organs, skin, joints, and tendons) tell the brain the situation of your body.  The barrage of fully body MechanoReceptor input to the brain and the currents of Nociceptor (aka PAIN) input are normally balanced and you experience well being.

When an injury, trauma or extraordinary stress occurs, tissues tie-up to await healing which ties off the currents of Mechanoreceptor input.  Your body often fails to adjust its reaction to the trauma.  Widespread dysfunction can occur.

THIS CAN LEAD TO  INCREASED:
* Perecption of Pain
* Alpha motor-neuron activity (Tension)
* Cortisol (Stress Hormones)
* Cerebellar Dysfunction (Balance/Coordination)
* Immune System Dysfunction
* Endocrine/Autonomic Dysfunction,

Because the balance is lost, the brain focuses too much attention on Nociceptor (PAIN) input.

More precisely here’s what happens after an injury, trauma, or extraordinary stress:
(1) Sustained High Muscle Tension
* Increases Metabolic Waste Products
* Increases Pressure on Damaged Tissues
* Increase Physical/Chemical Pain Generators

(2) This leads to Restricted Motion
* Decreased Mechanoreceptor Feedback
* Decreased Nutrient Supply
* Decreased Flushing of Metabolic Waste

(3) This Leads to More Tension and More Restricted Motion (a Self-Perpetuating Pain/Tension Cycle).

The injury was a while ago and you haven’t been the same since!

Your brain’s response to healing is overdue, the feedback current of MechanoReceptor input passing the tie-up point to the brain is not getting appropriate attention because the brain is too focused elsewhere.  The longer this attention and the tie up persists, the more Nociceptor (PAIN) input from the lactic acid building in those muscles that are tight and not moving.  This will continue your cycle of pain or dysfunction.

NOW WHAT?

The way to overcome this to through point specific full body barrage of MechanoReceptor input.  This is why it is important to adjust every bone in your body and follow up with the Arthrostim machine.  This method speeds of the process of releasing the tie-up points and allows the MechanoReceptor input to reach the brain.  Your body then incrementally un-ties with each office visit triggering more normal activities because mechanoreceptor input cause the brain’s focus to expand beyond the Nociceptor (PAIN) input.  You reclaim balance and experience well being.

Make it a Beautiful Day,
