- It is
important to realize that spinal adjustments don't make life's problems
go away. However, a person with a strong nervous system can usually
deal with life's problems more effectively.
When
do N.E.C.'s need to be adjusted?
- The artichoke
analogy symbolizes the accumulated layers of structural, biochemical
and emotional factors causing ill health. The doctor observes and
corrects each of these factors (including N.E.C.s) as they surface.
- Thus,
your return to health is actually a "peeling" process, in harmony
with the timing of the body's own healing wisdom.
Is
N.E.T. treatment safe?
- Yes.
Qualified doctors correct an N.E.C. with a safe and gentle adjustment
of the spine. The entire procedure is not unpleasant, and often
patients express immediate relief following the spinal adjustment. Now
that the emotional side of the triangle of health
has been strengthened, the patient can make enhanced gains in structural
and biochemical health.
Please Note: N.E.T. treatment is
not a substitute for psychological or psychiatric therapy. Patients
who show a possible need for psychotherapy are referred to psychological
or psychiatric professionals for evaluation and/or treatment. The
correction of an N.E.C. is a physiological phenomenon accomplished by
doctors qualified to adjust the spine.
What
are emotions?
In the
past, people related to emotions as being psychologically based. Now
scientific discoveries have shown emotions are physiologically based.
"A complex reaction pattern of changes in nervous, visceral, and skeletal-muscle
tissues response to a stimulus...As a strong feeling, emotion is usually
directed toward a specific person or event and involves widespread
physiological changes, such as increased heart rate and inhibition
of peristalsis."
-The Longman Dictionary of Psychology and Psychiatry
Recent advancements in neuroscience demonstrate that emotions
are an interaction between chains of amino acids which form neuropeptides
and receptors. Emotions are normal physiological (organic) processes
in the body, some of which are pleasant and others which are quite unpleasant.
Just as the physiology of muscles can be affected by subluxations,
the physiology of emotions can also be affected. A muscle contracting,
when and how you want it to, is normal physiology. When a muscle is
in a state of constant contraction (or spasm) at an inappropriate time,
it is abnormal physiology, and we seek help to relieve the nerve pressure
that is causing it. Similarly, when an emotional response is happening
at an inappropriate time, it is also abnormal physiology,
and we likewise may seek out help to relieve the nerve pressure that
is causing it.
Where
are emotions?
We feel
different emotions in different parts of our body in different ways.
The ancient acupuncturists correlated the different emotions
to different organ meridians in our body. For example:
- fear
to the kidney
- anger
to the liver
- grief
to the lungs, etc.
Although
the primary locations for the physiology of emotions are in
the
- brain
- spine
- autonomic
nervous system
- acupuncture
circuits, meridians
emotions
do affect any and all parts of the body in a physiological way. Researchers
have now demonstrated that emotional biochemicals travel
to almost every cell in the body.
What heals?
It is worth
noting that:
- Chiropractic
adjustments do not heal the body
- Nutritional
supplements do not heal the body
- Removing
an N.E.C. does not heal the body
- The
body heals itself
All "therapies" are only successful if they "remove the blocks"
to allow the body's own healing wisdom to express itself.
