Health Essential - The N Diagram
Hey there. Dr. James Fedich, Village Family Clinic. Coming to you with a simple diagram, help explain some things about chiropractic care and what we do here in the office. So this is a simple diagram. It's been around chiropractic for a while. So the N diagram, and we're going to go over it with you. So there's really nothing that chiropractors can't help out with. So we’re asked questions, you know, can you help with allergies, sinuses, all these different things, and this is how we explain it to them. So ultimate human performance is down here. We want to be optimally functioning, everything working well, body's in fine shape. And the way we do that is through really good body chemistry. So all the cells, tissue, and glands secrete chemistry that does everything. So your hormones are chemicals, your digestive enzymes are chemicals, you know, insulin. All these things are chemicals that are needed to properly run the body. So we know where a lot of people are being treated for all sorts of chemical imbalances, even some mental health things or chemical imbalances. When things aren't working well, it's because the chemistry of the body is not really working well. So what controls the chemistry of the body? It's all the glands. So the pancreas secretes insulin. We have food. Insulin secretes some. It secretes insulin from the pancreas, helps get rid of the sugar in the body. We don't have insulin, we get diabetes. Right? So all that's how everything works. The glands create chemistry making everything work properly, and that works for all the systems, either lungs, heart, all that's run by chemistry. So how do those glands know what kind of chemistry to send you? There's really only one way through the nervous system. Right? So the nerves send a signal to every cell tissue and organ, including the glands, tell them to secrete the right chemistry, making the body work well. Now these nerves are so important that they're encased in bone. So alright. The bone surrounding our skull is the strongest bone in the body around the brain, and the second strongest bone is around the spinal cord. So it's surrounded by 24 movable vertebrae. It's going to surround the spinal cord and all the nerves exiting out to every cell tissue and organ in the body, which is going to help regulate the glands, regulate chemistry, and help us perform well. Now if one of these bones comes out of place, it can pinch, irritate, or rub the nerve. So if that bone comes out of place, we call that a subluxation out of alignment. That can cause some irritation of the nerves. We just showed you the model. So the bone comes out of place, it pinch irritates the nerves. Nerves irritated. They're going to send the wrong message to the glands. The nerves are sending improperly on the glands. The glands aren't doing the right thing. That's going to mess up your body's chemistry. Right? So they're not going to secrete the right stuff. So, again, the nerve to the pancreas, that's a gland. It's going to not secrete enough insulin, which is going to create some problems, and it's going to decrease performance. So just a good example there. The nerve to the pancreas isn't working well. It's not going to create enough insulin. We end up with diabetes. Right? So what we can do here is chiropractic adjustment. We adjust that vertebrae, get the pressure off of that nerve. So that becomes misaligned. It pinches, rubs, irritates that nerve. Chiropractic adjustment takes the pressure off that nerve and allows that nerve to start functioning properly. Now if those bones are then in the right position, they're then going to take pressure off those nerves. So we can see that everyone's had a pinched nerve or another friend with a pinched nerve. The bone comes out of place, pinches the nerve. We get some pain, but it can also go to the organs or glands. So if we get that nerve channel back open by moving the bone into place, the nerves will function properly. The glands will function properly, then they'll secrete the right chemistry. So if we get that alignment right, the nerve will work right. It's going to cause the gland to work right. Then we're going to get the chemistry back, then we'll get back to optimal performance. So you can see there's really nothing in the body the chiropractor can’t help with. We might not be able to cure everything, obviously, but there's a lot of things out there we might be able to help out with. If these nerve channels are open as much as possible, the nerves are communicating as well as they can to every cell tissue and organ and gland, they secrete the right chemistry, then we lead to good performance. So it's really important to maintain those nerve channels. Anyone suffering from anything can benefit from chiropractic care. We're not going to cure cancer, but if we're getting those nerves functioning more properly, it might be able to make people feel better and have things work better. So it's not just about back pain, neck pain, and headaches. It's really about optimal human performance. In this way, chiropractic can help everything in the human body. So if you or anyone you know is suffering from any kind of health problem, they're better off getting chiropractic care than they are. Hope this information is helpful, and we'll see you soon.
