What is Health?
The word health is an old English word meaning whole. You are healthy when all the parts of your body are properly joined together and communicating with one another. When your body is fully connected, you have high resistance to disease and the energy to adapt to lifes stresses and challenges. When physically disconnected, a persons body parts are not correctly attached. A doctor of chiropractic will undoubtedly find spinal misalignments causing nerve pressure and energy/communication blockages in healthy people developing diseases. Spinal misalignments are often painless and can cause body/mind dysfunction years before disease symptoms appear. Health is more than being free of symptoms, its being full of life and energy-being fully alive!
Health is the “state of optimal physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” (Saunders). Importantly, this means that when your symptoms are gone you aren’t necessarily in a state of health. For example, in approximately 30% of heart attacks, the first symptom identified or known is death. When applied to chiropractic, this means that getting you out of pain is one goal of the chiropractor, but is far from the only goal.
According to Dorland’s Illustrated Medical Dictionary health is defined as “a state of optimal physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.” 2. What is Chiropractic? Chiropractic is based on the scientific evidence that the human body has an innate power to maintain its own health. The art of chiropractic focuses on the correction of spinal malfunctions, called subluxations, in order to remove interference to the spinal cord and the nerves. Science has found that the nervous system controls all organs and tissues of the body, so a nerve system, functioning at its best, facilitates the body’s ability to cope with disability and disease. That doesn’t just mean lack of illness, but staying well and performing well for a lifetime. Because of its potential to enable patients to live healthier, more fulfilling lives, chiropractic has been named “The Big Idea.” 3. What is a misaligned spine?

According to World Health Organization, health is a state of complete physical, mental or social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. While treating the physical condition homeopaths consider the state of mind as well as social relations. Usually associated with dis-ease, different people have different moods, some are angry, some are dull and some weep. One may weep for the pain he is experiencing, other may let go as anger.
