The Problem…. Disease Care vs. Health Care Stats and Facts

Drugs…. 44,000 to 98,000 die each year due to medical mistakes and drug reaction

1 st Fact: Your spine needs to be regularly maintained throughout your life from the very beginning.

WHY ? Because our body and spine are under constant assault from: - Gravity: constantly pressing upon us - Daily activities and postures: - Standing, Sitting, Bending etc. - Obvious traumas and injuries - Car and work accidents - Sports accidents - Slips and falls

These assaults can result in: These small vertebrae to shift. Normal Subluxated

Vertebral Subluxation One or more vertebrae shift and put pressure on the nerves Subluxations occur when we don’t maintain our spine.

2 nd Fact You can not feel Subluxation What you are feeling are the effects of subluxation

Subluxations cause a loss of nerve flow, which over time causes effects in your body. Headaches - Numbness in an arm or leg – Back or Leg Pain – Ulcers – Organ disease………….

What happens if we stop the effect ? The Crisis i.e. the headache, back pain etc. And leave the subluxation ?

If we help your body get rid of the PROBLEM The SUBLUXATION… And not maintain the spine then what…

We return to the subluxation, which puts pressure on the nerve, and may result in what… Another health crisis, or even worse.

An Example: A patient with unhealthy diet. -overtime it leads to clogged arteries -If left undetected and uncorrected what might that cause? ( A Heart Attack… which can be deadly.

Subluxations are much the same way. You can't feel the subluxations, so if left undetected and uncorrected that nerve pressure would result in what? (Effect and lowered state of health)

Cause Effect
