Most people come to me for the "treatment" of some ache or pain. While 90% of these people do achieve relief, many don't realize that I never actually treated their ache or pain. This is one of the many idiosyncrasies of chiropractic care that sets it apart from mainstream health care of today, by not treating the symptoms, but addressing the underlying dysfunction. The purpose of chiropractic care is to simply reconnect your mind and body, by correcting spinal subluxations, thus allowing your body to function properly and heal itself. So the true healer is not me, but your life energy that flows along your nervous system. Most people liken the nervous system to a communication network, sending messages back and forth between the brain and the trillions of cells in your body. But this is only one purpose of your nervous system, as it is also a conduit for the flow of vital electrical energy that flows from your brain to the rest of your body. Without this energy flowing properly, it's like having a light with a dimmer switch turned down. So your nervous system is like Telkom and Eskom, all in one. Chiropractic helps to keep the communication and energy flowing, allowing you to reach your full potential.
