The brain and the body have a two way communication thought the nervous system.  If there is interference in this connection there is a dissonance or disruption of  life energy.             

Basically, now any information coming from the body to the brain is jumbled.  As this continues the body will compensate it's posture because of  pain being felt. ( this is why pain moves from place to place )  New neuro-patterns will form in the brain and cortex causing this pattern to be reinforced with each movement.

        This tension and stress in your system causes a postural distortion.  Creating an instantaneous apposition or                     misalignment of  the vertebra.  This misalignment affects the nerve-roots exiting the spinal cords,  bombarding the         mechanoreceptors, sending information up the lateral cortical spinal tract of the spinal cord up to the ipsilateral             thalamus in the brain.  This fires a postural compensation because pain fibers are now being excited and sent down         the anterolateral  descending tracts of the spinal cord, towards the postural muscles.  This creates a negative                     feedback loop that is continuously compensating for tension patterns and pain due to an interruption caused by             stress patterns that are stored in the bone, muscle, fascia or spinal cord. 

This creates a dissonance, a disconnection, a dis-ease process that is expressed through out the whole body.  Decreasing the adaptability of the system to daily stresses.  Changing our perception of these experiences from normal to abnormal.  Now all movements and all activities are filtered through the brain, postural muscles and nerves as inappropriate responses non-healthy movements. 

When properly integrated or released, stress dissipates throughout the body allowing proper brain physiology and connection to be expressed.

Integration of experiences is essential to life.  These experiences are learned everyday and change the way we operate in our world.  When there is an interruption to the connection between the brain and the body.  As chiropractors, we access the body through the function of the nervous system and release the potential thought the chiropractic adjustment.  Thus, integration of the experience and learning takes place.

The essence of chiropractic is allowing the true healing capacity of the body to unfold.  Each person who receives care is talking responsibility for themselves and how they react to the world.
