By BELINDA SUTTON Special to the Beaver The greatest doctor in the world is the one inside the body, says an Oakville chiropractor. Dr. Brett Moore says chiropractors maintain there‘s an innate intelligence in each person that runs their body and ensures their health. But good health and the healing process are some times hampered by what chiropractors call a subluxation, which blocks nervous impulses from the brain. This occurs when spinal bones shift from their normal position and lose motion from stress, trauma or chemical imbalances. "In chiropractic we always say each person possesses the ability to get well from the outside out, whereas for mediâ€" cine, it‘s more outside in." "The brain runs all the systems that control the body â€" the cardiovascular, muscular, respiratory and immune sysâ€" tems, etc. "So that if there‘s a subluxation, it would cause the nervous system to be less than 100 per cent, which would, in turn, result in a loss of health." What chiropractors do is adjust the spine to remove the subluxation, Dr. Moore said in a recent interview during provincial spinal health week. As a result, the patient‘s health is restored and their ability to cope with stress improves.

Most people walk in here with bad backs, necks and headaches â€" the big three. When they get their subluxation corrected, they find their blood pressure improves and their asthma, menstrual cramps, allergies, sinus and digestive problems and that kind of stuff also improves as a sideline."

The father, a chiropractor since 1957, moved to the location in 1980. His son joined him two years later after graduating with a fourâ€"year doctor of chiropractic degree from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto. Dr. Moore shares a large chiropracâ€" tic practice with his father, Don, at 220 Randall Street. The two work out of a former turnâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"century home which has been converted into a clinic. Together, they have many patients from newborns to people in their late 90‘s. Part of their treatments are covâ€" ered by Ontario‘s health insurance plan. Brett Moore said chiropractors advocate a healthy, wholesome lifestyle in which the taking of medication is normally discouraged in nonâ€"emerâ€" gency situations because it‘s believed the body can look after itself without such aids. "It‘s just a natural way of living." To maintain his health, Dr. Moore a toybox of ideasi Dr. Brett Moore He recommends similar checkups weekly or monthly for his patients. said his father checks his spine once a week and makes adjustments if there‘s a subluxation. "We have different methods to check the spine which tell us if a patient needs to be adjusted or not. The art of chiropractic is to know when to adjust, and just as importantly, to know when not to adjust." Dr. Moore said chiropractic patients get positive results 95 per cent of the time. Some patients make more draâ€" matic recoveries than others. He recalled a case involving one woman who suffered from scoliosis, a curvature of the spine. Although she came to see him about back pain, she also had digestive problems, menstrual cramps and had been told by a doctor she was infertile, he said. After being adjusted by Dr. Moore, he said her back pain disappeared. Later she ended up having two children with her husband â€" her infertility problem had apparently been corrected by the chiropractic adjustments.. Another woman treated by Dr. Moore was able to stop taking thyroid pills because her longâ€"standing thyroid problem cleared up. She was also able to significantly reduce the number of insulin shots she needed to control her diabetes. "I think most people choose chiropractic as a career because they think the pay is good and the lifestyle is good. "But as soon as you start to practice, you will come to understand our real pay is the constant positive feedback that we get from patients," said Dr. Moore, who loves his profession and gets tremendous satisfaction from helpâ€" ing others.

The Brantfordâ€"born professor, who has a private clinical practice, was in town to speak on depression Gotlib â€" whose area of research is depression â€" made the comments during an interview Monday in Oakville. "There are more choices and that can be good or bad â€" more opportuâ€" nities for success, more opportuniâ€" ties for failure." "I think people would argue that it (depression) is more prevalent because there‘s more stress, so there are just more problems now," said Dr. Ian Gotlib, clinical training director and professor of psychiatry and psychology at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. The number of people who suffer from depression is on the rise, says a psychologist.

Over a lifetime, about 25% of women are likely to experience depression at some point compared to about 12% (See ‘Some people . . .‘ page 12) Although some depressions have a biological or genetic base, he said most are simply caused by stress or the loss of something such as a job, spouse, or relationship. Gotlib explained depression is usually diagnosed when a person experiences a loss of interest in daily activities and a sad mood for at least two weeks. The person may also experience sleep and appetite disturbances, weight loss, difficulty concentratâ€" ing, feelings of worthlessness, and thoughts of suicide, he said. before. "I mean it has economic costs as you can imagine for productivity â€" for jobs. It has costs in terms of the health care of society. So the costs are obviously greater than they were a generation ago. "So some disorders like polio we‘ve taken care of, and we‘ve replaced that with other disorders like depression that are increasing."
