Clark FamiIy Circ>practic Centr4eý Practice of Chiropractic & Acpwncur FOUNDATIONS, WALLS, FUSE BOXES AND HEALTHCARE What do ail these things have in common? The structure and heaith of the human-body is shiiar to the structure and function, mad there- fore, health of your home. Let me explain this. What happens if the founidation is flot level? Obviousiy, the floors and wails and roof will ot be aligned. If the walis are flot alignied the doorways will flot be square and straight. Therefore, your doors will flot funiCtion properly and wili bind and stick. Ail of these probIems could have been avoided if greater care had beefl taken with the foundation. The human body is exactly the saine. If your foundatior i (e. the spmne) is off, ail of tie other structures are off. Just like in a house, the first structu re that was "made" i your body was your founidatiofi. The spine deveiops first anld then ail of the other structures are added to it. Another very important system i your house is the electrical sys- tem. Cmn you imagine life without it? Remember the last time you biew a fuse or breaker for the kitchen. The symptoms are quite obvious. Have you ever had. a power surge? Do you remember how that affected your comn- puter? It is imperative that ail of your appliances have steady dependable power. The body has an electricai system too. Cafl you imagine life with- out it? What would happefl if you blew a fuse to your am? WeIl, your arm would flot have its usual streflgth or you might have flumbfless, tingling or iack or coordination. What if you had a power surge to your "computer"? This might cause headaches or poor concentrationi. In your house, a founidation problem does flot usuaily affect your electricai system. However, i your body the "electrical system", or spinal cord and nerves, run through your "foundation", or spine. Therefore, any change in the position or funiction of your vertebrae will irritate the cord or dhe nerves as they exit from betweefl the bones. This is cailed a sublux- ation. The effect is poor health. Dependig on which flerve is affected, subluxations cmn cause obvious symptorus like headaches, iow back pain, indigestion,, etc. Unfortunately, sometines there are no obvious symptoms. For exampie, if a nerve to your kidney or liver is irritated you likely wouid flot notice the effects. However, titis couid have a profound effect on your heaith status. Like regular dental check-ups to ensure the-heaith of your teeth, it is important to have a chiropractic check-up to ensure the health of your spmne. Remember, your teeth cmn be replaced, your spine cannot. There are mmny dedicated chiropractors i Clarington ready to serve you. Consuit one today mnd get healthy!
