Our biology, physiology, psychology is an expression of our biography.
~Chiropractic and Subluxation Explained~
Our body is a map of our life experiences. Our body is the expression of who we are, where we’ve been and what we’ve done. Our body is the template of the story of our life.
In this way, when you access the body, you access the mind. And. When you want to access the mind, you can also do so by accessing the body.
When the body hasn’t yet fully metabolized an experience (which can be rooted in either physical, emotional, or chemical experiences) the body stores a postural, neurological and emotional pattern related to that exact experience.
Chiropractic calls this subluxation: an experience not yet integrated, thereby creating a distortion and dissonance within the body-mind; incoherence.
Subluxation becomes expressed through symptoms such as headaches, autoimmune diseases, anxiety, depression, insomnia, bowel issues, pain and discomfort, loss of mobility, range of motion restriction and so much more. Additionally, subluxation is expressed through tension and tone in the physical body. The tension and tone held in the body are directly related to the signal the body is running on.
“Life is an expression of tone…tone is the origin of all life, normal or abnormal, animal, vegetable or mineral…Tone is the source; its quality determines the character of life. Tone is a term used to denote a normal degree of vigor, resting, tension, activity, strength and excitability of nerves, muscles and tissues as observed in a state of health.” -DD Palmer, Founder of Chiropractic
The adjustment in chiropractic is in direct proportion to what the body is able to work with that day, in that moment, at the time of that adjustment. The adjustment is working in real-time with what the body is able to process.
In this way, the chiropractic adjustment invites the one being adjusted to receive, and then integrate, what their body has been unable to previously.
The capacity to integrate unintegrated experiences is what makes the adjustment an adjustment, the integration is the adjustment. This is because integration means to make whole through bringing together separate component parts into a single functioning unit. The subluxation is a reflection of the body not being unified within its wholeness, the subluxation is a reflection of unintegrated experiences.
Change the tone. Change the shape. Change the expression.
The chiropractic adjustment does exactly that: changes the tone, changes the shape, leading to, changes in expression.
When the tone, shape and expression change, there is a change in the biology, physiology, psychology and therefore a change in biography.
