Chiropractic and The Common Cold

Ask any pure objective straight chiropractor what common cold has to do with chiropractic, and he will say "absolutely nothing - as chiropractors, we don't diagnose, treat or cure anything. The body always heals itself provided that there is no underlying pathology or interference to the nerve system". At Selimo Chiropractic, located in Whippany NJ, I also know that this is a very accurate statement as I too practice objective straight chiropractic. However, although all I do as a chiropractor is assess the spine for interferences to the nerve system and then assist the body in removing them, there are certain FACTS that cannot be denied. For instance, some people seem to think that chiropractic is just for backs! However, many people seeing chiropractors for back and neck problems find a general improvement in their life which includes fewer and less severe colds, flu and other respiratory problems. And, did you know, that breathing cold viruses does not in itself cause a cold? " Experimenters have incubated cold viruses, placed them directly on the mucous lining of the nose, and found that their subjects came down with colds only 12 percent of the time." The whole concept here is that for germs to grow in you, you must first be fertile soil. What does chiropractic have to do with this? Chiropractic doesn't treat the common cold. It does, however, help awaken your Innate Intelligence (inner healer) - the only cure, if there is going to be one!! Natural resistance is the only reason why your cold "goes away" rather than lasting for weeks, months or your entire lifetime! Chiropractic can help raise your natural resistance to disease by removing a serious interference to your proper body function: subluxations. (Subluxations) - are distortions in your body that interfere with your proper body function. In my office I check your spine to detect and locate subluxations in your nerve system and help correct them with specific chiropractic adjustments. This helps restore optimal body functioning for higher resistance to disease, which, we cannot overstate, is the best defense against common cold. In closing, there are numerous case histories of chronic cold and flu sufferers having fewer or NO COLDS after chiropractic care. In another study 92% of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease had improvement of their respiratory symptoms after spinal care. So, no we (chiropractors) don't treat disease, don't remove symptoms and don't cure anything. We just help the body to work at its highest level NATURALLY without the poisonous side affects of drugs and medications. Don't blame us if positive side effects occur as a result of PURE Chiropractic care. For that is not our intention!!
