Chiropractic Validated by Medical Research

There are many people out there that are unclear what chiropractic is and what it can offer them. I feel a lot of this confusion is even contained in the professionals that are supposed to have full understanding of how the body works. Often I hear, "My doctor told me to stop seeing a chiropractor" or "chiropractic is unscientific".

Although these statements are completely invalid, they are quite common when ever I speak with someone.

Well the good news has arrived. In an article that I discovered on Mercola.com, there is irrefutable scientific evidence performed by a medical doctor reviewing how the spine, the nervous system, organ and over health are intimately connected.

Here's a brief synopsis:

Dr. Winsor
"The object of these dissections was to determine whether any connection existed between minor curvatures of the spine, on the one hand, and diseased organs on the other; or whether the two were entirely independent of each other."

"Two hundred twenty-one (221) structures other than the spine were found diseased. Of these, 212 were observed to belong to the same sympathetic (nerve) segments as the vertebrae in curvature. Nine diseased organs belonged to different sympathetic segments from the vertebrae out of line."

These figures cannot be expected to exactly coincide ... for an organ may receive sympathetic filaments from several spinal segments and several organs may be supplied with sympathetic (nerve) filaments from the same spinal segments. In other words, there was nearly a 100 percent correlation between minor curvatures of the spine and diseases of the internal organs."

So what does all this mean?

In short, when bone is stuck in an abnormal position, whether due to accident, habits, or any other number of events, the nerve that travels past that bone is interrupted. That interrupted nerve then carries a less than optimal signal to an organ, lets use the heart as an example. Then as the heart continues to pump blood and oxygen, the healing repairing signal is unable to do all the necessary work to correct any wear and tear that may have been sustained from everyday activity.

I highly recommend reading the entire article here, and be sure to check out the associated articles at the end of the article.

I'd be willing to bet that there's some nerve interference disrupting a friend or loved ones health potential. Who do you know that needs a check up?
