Transcript of Twp M1 Sica 97 03
Presented by Barb KaiserJanuary 27, 2009
Welcome to part 1 of a 4-part series Based on “The Wellness Practice” Certification course offered by the ICA Position chiropractors as leading health care
providers Answer the question, “What do humans
need to be truly healthy?”
An ecologist’s perspective Four seminars and home-study modules
◦ Science of Subluxation◦ Eat Well◦ Move Well◦ Think Well
C.C.W.P. = Certified Chiropractic Wellness Practitioner
Tools to teach patients how to live in balance
No change in human genes in 40,000 years Other cultures Hangover gene
Genes are the recipe Lifestyle choices are the ingredients
MAKE INFORMED CHOICES!
BOOK: The 14 Foundational Premises for the Scientific and Philosophical Validation of the Chiropractic Wellness Paradigm
DVD: Genetics, Lifestyle and Health AUTHOR: Dr. James L. Chestnut, B.Ed., MSc.,
D.C. Both available in the NWHSU library under
SICA Club materials
As I gathered the research for this book so that I could share the wonderful validating experience I had with others I realized that much of our research was being aimed in the wrong direction. Chiropractic got trapped asking the wrong questions. We have been asking allopathic questions regarding which diseases or symptoms chiropractic can alleviate instead of what I see as the fundamental chiropractic questions... The goal of my research and this book is to answer these questions (and stimulate research to investigate these questions) so that we have a bullet proof scientific and philosophical validation of chiropractic.
- Dr. James L. Chestnut, B.Ed. M.Sc. D.C. C.C.W.P.
One of the greatest validations of chiropractic in history
Advances in knowledge of neurology The “garden hose” concept is not the whole
story The importance of afferent model of
subluxation
UNDERSTAND WHY CHIROPRACTIC WORKS!
Purity Sufficiency Chiropractic care Eating well Moving well Thinking well
Toxicity Deficiency Subluxations Fake food, drugs Sedentary lifestyle Negative thoughts
Health and Wellness Sickness and Disease
Wellness is the quest for never ending improvement where increasing function leads to the highest state of mind, body and spirit health
Wellness is…vitality, energy, mobility, activity, looking and feeling good, full self expression & freedom to create a life you love.
Chiropractic is a lifetime family wellness solution!
Vitalistic - life force is acknowledged
Holistic - address body, mind and spirit
Naturalistic - follow universal laws
Conservative – least intervention first
Critical Rationalism - reason and logic
Mechanistic - life force is omitted
Reductionistic - address an organ or system
Artificialistic - chemical, surgical
Radical - full speed ahead
How can you compete with logic?
Peer-reviewed research supports that, within the human spine,◦ Segmental movement restrictions exist◦ Static misalignments exist
Part, but not all, of vertebral subluxation complex (VSC)
They are married, and divorce is not possible!
Vertebral subluxation has neurological components
Proprioception◦ “POSITIVE body
thought”◦ Movement
Nociception◦ “NEGATIVE body
thought”◦ Restriction
Impulses reach the cerebellum and brainstem at
3,000,000,000,000 bits per second
50 of these bits reach the cortex!
Central sensitization Peripheral sensitization Allodynia Sympathetically-induced muscle spasm Vasoconstriction Chronic muscle pathology (myofascitis) Chronic joint pathology (osteoarthritis)
Increases in:◦ Blood pressure◦ Heart rate◦ Cholesterol◦ Blood sugar◦ Insulin resistance◦ Cortisol, adrenaline◦ Fear & anxiety
Decreases in:◦ Serotonin◦ Bone density◦ Muscle mass◦ Anabolic hormones◦ Cellular immunity◦ Concentration◦ Memory & learning

Health and Well-being
Proper range of motion
Proper alignment Reduces
nociception Increases
proprioception
Break up connective tissue adhesions Restore healthy neurological pathways Physiological stages of healing Neuroplasticity Functional correction is the goal!
Decreased sensitization Decreased allodynia Normalized sympathetic tone
◦ Muscle relaxation◦ Vasodilation
Normalized stress response Increased immune response
Cerebellar-brainstem-cortical loops Old news:
◦ Coordinate movement and posture New news:
◦ Affects cognition – learning and memory◦ Affects emotions◦ Affects visceral function
The nervous system needs movement Research from other fields supports
chiropractors:◦ Neuroscience◦ Neuropsychology◦ Psychoneuroimmunology◦ Education
We are ready to roll!
If you want to function at your best in body, mind, and spirit
From cradle to grave
