subject: Chiropractic And The Healing Power Within [print this page] For most of us, the ability to regenerate or to be able to heal one's self seemed like only true in movies, but don't you know that the human body can actually do that with the help of spinal adjustments?
Getting chiropractic adjustments can actually help the body heal itself as the process could influence the basic physiological system of the body, which can affect the oxidative stress that normally causes DNA damage, this according to a study conducted by a group of chiropractic researchers.
The study was published in a scientific journal specifically intended for subluxation-based chiropractic research, the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research.
The authors of the study, which was dubbed "Surrogate Indication of DNA Repair in Serum After Long Term Chiropractic Intervention - A Retrospective Study," studied different groups that each received chiropractic treatments at different terms.
There were three groups composed of 21 subjects that had short-term sessions, 25 subjects having a long-term chiropractic care, and a group of 30 that had no chiropractic care at all.
To gauge the body's ability to heal itself, the researchers monitored the serum thiol levels of the subjects to estimate the DNA repair. The serum thiols are primary antioxidants in the body.
Patients with illnesses who underwent short-term chiropractic care had the lowest level of serum thiols, while the highest was registered from the group who had long-term chiropractic care.
One of the authors, Dr. Christopher Kent said that as we go through life, we encounter different kind of stresses that could affect the nervous system. These stresses could harm the nerve function of the body and could result to DNA damage.
Chiropractors, also known as chiropractic specialists, can help the body to heal naturally by applying spinal manipulation. Spinal adjustments are intended to rectify disturbances in the nervous system and boost the body's ability to cope with stress, thus heal itself in a much faster pace.
Another author of the research said the chiropractic adjustment was not meant to just increase the serum thiol levels but rather the adjustment was applied to correct the interferences in the body systems including the musculo-skeletal system, the immune system, the nervous system, and the vascular system, among others.
Dr. Zach said the human body is truly a "miracle of creation" that can thrive for as long as nothing impedes its normal functions.
So, let me reiterate that the serum thiol levels were not intentionally increased by chiropractic adjustments but instead were brought back to normal levels, which seems high as deemed by most people considering the common lifestyle that deprives the body of sufficient nutrients, exercise, and rest. What's commonly perceived as normal by many is actually a proof of vertebral subluxations or spinal misalignments.
So get that adjustment now and discover that new self-healing power within.
