In today’s world, there is a gadget for every gizmo — and each comes with an instruction manual. These guides explain all the warning lights and alarms, helping us understand if our device is functioning properly. They usually include the promise that, if maintained well, the product will last for its “lifetime.”
What About Our Body’s Operating System?
When it comes to our health and our body’s operating system, we often forget this principle and live as if our bodies are disposable. We’re lucky if a television lasts 10 years, a car maybe the same, and a computer? Two or three years, tops. We complain about upgrades, but the truth is we would rather own an iPhone than go back to a Motorola DynaTAC.
Unlike machines, our bodies are brilliantly designed with advanced warning signals and remarkable survival strategies. They are self-maintaining, self-repairing, and — with proper care — some experts believe we are designed to live 120 years or even longer.
First, the Bells and Whistles
To achieve this feat, our bodies are equipped with survival signals that can be detected by our best sensors — our five senses, and maybe even a sixth. A few examples include:
- Runny nose? Survival strategy. Extra mucus helps defend against cold and flu bugs.
- Butterflies in your stomach? Survival strategy. Warns you of an impending physical or emotional threat.
- Bleeding from a cut? Survival strategy. Contact with air triggers the clotting response.
- Gas? Survival strategy. Removes toxic food from the digestive tract quickly.
- Vomiting? Survival strategy. Removes toxic food even more quickly!
- Pain? Survival strategy. The body’s built-in early warning system tells you it’s time to make a change.
The Motherboard of Connection
Each of these survival strategies can be seen individually, but together they highlight the importance of the master controller — your nervous system. This system orchestrates every survival process and keeps the body functioning as one.
The Best Maintenance – Chiropractic Care
Your spine is made up of 24 movable bones designed to protect your spinal cord — the motherboard of your nervous system — while still allowing you to twist, turn, bend, and move freely. The spinal nerves branch off in pairs, connecting in an organized way to specific tissues and organs throughout your body.
When a nerve opening is obstructed, even slightly, your brain cannot fully control or regulate the body’s functions. This is where chiropractic care comes in. Chiropractors restore and maintain spinal function, which supports nervous system health and helps your body operate at its best.
Often, patients experience improvements in areas that may seem unrelated to spinal health at first glance. By removing interference and restoring balance, chiropractic care enhances your body’s natural ability to repair, recover, and thrive.
