In order to understand how chiropractic works, we must first recognize that it is our brain that controls all the functions of every organ, tissue, and cell of our bodies. Just like the relationship between a husband and wife or parents and their children, in order for there to be harmony within the relationship, there must be communication.

I think this communication must be clear and concise. Have you ever said something to your spouse or child that was taken out of context because you weren’t on the “same page,” so to speak? Most of the time, these little miscommunications have little effect on a relationship. But, if these little miscommunications happen frequently, it will hurt any relationship. Have you ever been on a cell phone, and the signal began to fade?
Did you get static on your phone causing the message to become garbled making it difficult to understand what the other person said? Or, did the weak signal cause your conversation to cut in and out so that you only understand part of what the other person said? This is also a type of miscommunication. Let’s face it, miscommunications happen. The important thing is to recognize when they do happen and then do something about it. It is when we ignore miscommunication that is when problems arise.
By now you are probably thinking “what does this have to do with chiropractic and why is he counseling me on my interpersonal communication skills?” Good question; I’m glad you asked. Psychology and Chiropractic are two areas of interest for me as I have a Bachelor of Arts in Biology and a Doctorate in Chiropractic. Above I talk about the importance of good quality communication between people so that you will understand the importance of good quality communication that must take place within our bodies. More specifically, the importance of quality communication between the brain and body.

The brain controls all the functions of every organ, tissue, and cell of our bodies and this is accomplished through communication. In order for the body to maintain balance or homeostasis, communication between the brain and the body must be clear and free of interference. This communication takes place through the nervous system.
The brain sends signals down the spinal cord and over the nerves sending the brain’s message to its designated target and the target sends information back. So just like our interpersonal communication with other people, whether it is face-to-face or over a cell phone when there is no interference in communication (miscommunication) the message is clear, and harmony is maintained.
This transparent communication between the brain and the body makes it possible for our bodies to be self-healing and self-regulating. For instance, the body knows how to heal a cut on your finger and just how much insulin should come from the pancreas to regulate your blood sugar. So, communication allows the body to maintain balance or homeostasis and allows our bodies to function at their optimum.
