In a recent study, conducted over a three year period and presented at the International Research and Philosophy Symposium, a hundred volunteers were examined with an electroencephalogram (EEG), before and after chiropractic adjustments.  This was the first time that EEGs have been used to prove that there are definite changes to the way the brain processes information after chiropractic care.  The EEG scans were examined to check the right/left balance, the amount of total activity, the primary regions of activity, and the effect of the adjustments.  The study concluded that chiropractic adjustments have a positive effect on the central nervous system, specifically on the four primary frequencies of brain function: beta, alpha, theta, and delta.

Remember when your mother used to tell you to chew your food?  She was really onto something.  But like so many gems Mom gave us, we didn’t all listen, and many of us still don’t see her wisdom, even as adults.  Sure, we all know we need to chew our food enough to get it down without choking, but most people don’t realize the importance of really chewing your food properly.  It’s perhaps hard for some to believe, but the truth is, a simple change to your eating habits – correctly chewing your food – can have tremendous benefits to many areas of your life.  Seriously.  Here are a few: 1.

The brain and spinal nerves communicate position sense and balanced equilibrium.  Nerve interference cause unequal weight distribution, disharmony and stress to the body, muscles and joints.   There two things that happen when you have a bone out of place in the spine.  First, when the bone is out of place and twists the spine, it pinches the nerve.  That doesn’t cause pain.  It causes weakness.  You have an energy, brain waves, that flow from above down, inside out, that comes from your brain through the spinal cord.  If you’re choking off that nerve flow, whatever that nerve is going to will be weakened.  The other thing that happens is that when the bone is out of place, it’s like having the front end of your car misaligned; the tires or axle wears out.
