Subluxation Of Pain

Decent Essays
In 1949, BJ Palmer presented one of the greatest speaches ever given. He talked about how small of a thing it is for someone to, say fall or slip. This fall or slip produces a subluxation, which puts a small bout pressure on the nerves and causes an imbalance within the nervous system. This imbalance causes dis-ease within the body, and that is a big deal. Furthermore, dis-ease affects not only the physical state of an individual, but their mental state, emotional state, and spiritual state. If we understand how the body becomes dis-eased, we understand our nation and its current state of health. To correct this change, a chiropractor gives an adjustment, which corrects the subluxation, which takes the pressure off and restores the nerves. …show more content…
From the words of the profound psychoanalysis Carl Jung, “No tree can grow to Heaven unless its roots reach down to Hell.” We all endure pain and suffering, it is a necessary component of life. However, it is how we choose to handle ourselves under these states that testifies who we are. It is such a small thing to have fallen, we all fall in life. However, it is how we stand back up that counts. There are numerous ways a subluxation could occur. Perhaps it could be cause by a fall, an injury, a sedentary lifestyle, stress, an unhealthy diet, or (often times) a combination of these. Regardless, all of these things are small, trivial things that are often overlooked in our lives. We don’t consider the ramifications that could occur. Yet such the simple, acute complication of a subluxation could have profound consequences for that individual. As a chiropractor, one can provide adjustments to correct the subluxation. However, even if the subluxation is corrected, and the individual appears to have been “fixed”, are they really healed? Though we have corrected the interference, have we corrected the reasoning behind why the interference has actually occurred? If the real cause of the subluxation has not been addressed, than the individual will eventually wind back up in their dis-eased

    When I was shadowing an osteopathic family medicine physician, Dr. Anthony Lopresti, I came to appreciate how the philosophies of osteopathy coincides with my own. Through many patient encounters, I learned of the combination of prescribed medications and musculoskeletal manipulation that enhances the body’s natural process to heal on its own. I was wavering between pursuing the two philosophies of allopathic or osteopathic that both sought to improve individuals’ lives. My passion in osteopathic medicine was confirmed when I comforted a distressed patient which made me realize how important patient satisfaction was to me. The ideal practice of medicine she spoke of also resonated my own beliefs of practicing medicine: to consider the person…

    The pain began slowly, pricking me with its sharp needles only while doing barre in ballet once a week. I ignored it, believing it to be normal, common discomfort that would soon go away, typical thoughts of a dancer whose entire sport is centered around “good pain”. Six months later, it had escalated to the degree that every step I took felt like an arrow to my knee. Dancing had become impossible, and it was determined that I should be taken to the orthopedist. The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…

    During the first visit to the chiropractor’s office, the patient is asked to give a description of their medical history, and then an exam is conducted on the area with the problem. X-rays may also be taken if necessary. Chiropractors do not perform surgery and they do not have a license to write a prescription. Therefore, other treatment options are used, such as water, heat, massage, or exercise. With additional training, a chiropractor can specialize in a certain area, such as rehabilitation.…

    As I entered my senior year of undergrad, I began looking for an opportunity to work with people requiring any form of health care assistance. Luckily, I came across an opening for a Personal Care Assistant (PCA) position in the school newspaper. At the time, I didn’t know exactly what a PCA was, but I knew I wanted to work one-on-one with patients, and this job would allow me to do exactly that. After I went through all the training that was required, it was finally time to meet my client. The only details my supervisor told me about my client were: his name, that I would be assisting in driving him around in his handicap accessible van, getting him dressed, monitoring him during his walking exercises, and that he was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy as a child and was bound to a wheelchair.…

    Throughout the history the answer for this question of human suffering remained a mystery. With Adam and Eve sin and suffering entered into the world, and this evil is experienced by all human being. But now by Jesus Christ, the Son of God, human suffering takes the new dimension of redemptive meaning. Pope John Paul says, “One can say that with the Passion of Christ all human suffering has found itself in a new situation.”…

    The extensive recent research utilizing neuroimaging techniques to study pain in healthy subjects has many clinical implications for pain diagnosis and treatment. For the sake of brevity, this response will focus on fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imagining), a method that surveys changes in blood flow assumed to be reflecting alterations in neural activity and maps them to an anatomical representation of the patient’s brain (Borsook, Burstein et al. 2004). The culmination of several fMRI studies in healthy subjects has elucidated specific regions and networks of the central nervous system (CNS) that may be integral to pain processing in humans and may serve as “biomarkers” to help clinicians diagnose a patient’s pain condition (Wartolowska…

    When we see an individual suffer, we become quick to judge that individual for his or her actions; yet, we often fail to recognize our own implication on the same wrongdoings, and thus, we unintentionally become the one who extends our punishment. Suffering as a whole must be acknowledged by humanity – so that lament becomes admonition – as we all make wrong choices that implicate ourselves in pain and grief. While avoiding its gaze may subdue the pain momentarily, this denial will strip us of our chance to learn from past choices and instead will create an everlasting torment. As humans, we must face suffering as an opportunity to admit our core vulnerabilities and flaws that define us, as recognizing the punishment can only make us…

    Yin and Yang In order to understand Chinese Therapeutic Music, it is necessary to understand two concepts of Chinese culture and medicine. The principle of Yin and Yang is that there is a tangible physical body and an intangible energy body. The physical body and the energy body are related with the principles of Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang are like the two sides of a coin, as neither side is inherently better or worse than the other side is, but one side cannot exist without the other.…
