Power of the body

One of the things I'm beginning to understand in chiropractic is the respect of life the founders of chiropractic had. It was their belief that the body's ability to heal itself would be able to take care of the body. When everything was in order with the nervous system the body was able to take care of itself. We know that interference with nerves occurs, the funny bone is the best example. The body is an amazing organism. It know where everything is supposed to go and it places it there. The body can ingest food, break it down, and make something new out of the components (typically new cells for maintenance of the body). So as a chiropractor we try and tap into that natural ability of the body and make sure everything is working proper in the system to let the body take care of itself. It is a pretty cool and innovative idea in my opinion. The human body is way cool.
