Program:
Mark Lique, a Middleton Chiropractor, gave us an overview of what a chiropractor really does. Eden! I never knew! The 24 vertebrae and their pairs of nerves control and influence every muscle organ and cell in the body. When the vertebrae are out of alignment, or subluxated, the nerve is impaired and so is its target muscle or organ. You may not feel sick but you may be in an unhealthy state. Mark feels life should be like a candle. You burn steady and bright throughout the life of the candle then flicker out. The light shouldn't diminish half way through.
Many people have a pebble in their shoe. Would they mask the sore spot with a Tylenol. Would they seek out a surgeon to cut out a spot for the pebble to sit in. Mark suggests we take out the pebble. Chronic headaches, pregnancy pains and morning sickness, sore shoulders or leg pain can all be related to a misalignment in the spine. Many of the symptoms you suffer from can be alleviated by Chiropractic therapy. Check it out.
