Dr. Phil & Chiropractic- March 2012  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVY_aRLVbJs  What is the Wellness Model?  As explained on Dr. Phil's show, it is reaching your fullest human potential within your own body.  By tapping into your innate wisdom through your physical, mental, and spiritual.  This is the philosophy of Chiropractic which is  "what made the body, heals the body", by releasing the interference through your nervous system.  The brain sends messages through your nervous system, to the body, to every cell, tissue, and organs.   The spinal bones encases the spinal cord, and nervous system.   When the spine is aligned, there is no nerve interference, and correct communication between brain and body is achieved, and the normal body functions at 100%.  When the body is under stress, it effects the physical, mental, and spiritual functions.  The spine misaligns, causing nerve interference, blocking communication between the brain and body, leading to malfunction, the body immediately begins to compensate, malfunction worsens to a disease process, and the body has loss of function below 60%, and the body starts to show symptoms.  Chiropractic corrects the misalignments of the spine, restoring nerve function, and the healing process begins. Once symptoms improve, corrective care helps to increase your optimal health function.  Wellness is about getting well, but staying well.  Dr. Maria E. Manibog, DC  has a Wellness Center in downtown San Leandro, Health For Life Chiropractic. Please call for a Complimentary health consultation at (510) 357-1351.
