WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?
Chiropractic is a philosophy, a science, and an art of things natural. It is the study of the normal expression of life and how the human body works in its natural state.
CHIROPRACTIC AS A PHILOSOPHY
At Well Wahine, we work under the main precept that a body that is relaxed and flexible will constantly and consistently heal itself. This is what we call a state of ease. Being in a state of ease will allow the body to not only recover from any disease and/or injury, but also to prevent most of them. Even more importantly, a state of ease allows the freedom to share our individual gifts, opening up infinite possibilities of growth and evolution.
CHIROPRACTIC AS A SCIENCE
As chiropractors, we do not diagnose disease. What we do is locate areas of your body that are stuck, which are interfering with the flow of life and proper function. We call this subluxation. Subluxations in the spine cause interference to the function of your neurological system, which coordinates all functions of your body, thus interfering with your quality of life. This interference in turn causes dis-ease, or lack of ease, in your body. When longstanding, this can lead to disease and symptoms, which you may or may not be experiencing at this moment.
CHIROPRACTIC AS AN ART FORM
If we find areas of restricted motion we use light touch and manual structural adjustments to release the tension and restore ease in your system. This allows your body to recover, thus improving your quality of life so that you are able to fully express your gifts and enjoy life at its fullest.
