The so-called ‘western’ or industrialised nations of the world have long struggled with high levels of preventable illness. According to World Health Organization statistics the majority of population death occurring in these countries results from a very particular cause. What is responsible for 75% of all deaths in Western nations? What is responsible for the … Read more
Chiropractic subluxation leads to immobilisation of spinal joints. These joints are richly concentrated with the nerve receptors that ‘instruct’ the brain where the body is in space – the literally give the brain perception of YOU. When we think of immobilisation the image in our mind is usually something related to the larger joints or … Read more
What is sickness? What is disease? How do stressors lead to sickness? Every health profession agrees that ideal health or function is a state called ‘homeostasis‘.

The question is, “what does that mean for how our bodies work?” The negative health effects of increased stress hormones being released on an ongoing basis are stark and far-reaching. Almost every current ‘disease of … Read more
Chronic Illness is DEADLY SERIOUS… In industrialised (western) countries like Australia, the burden of ill-health, particularly chronic illness, has been steadily rising despite significant increases in expenditure from both the private and public purse. The evidence clearly shows that by far, the highest proportion of this ever-increasing burden is seen in the incidence of chronic … Read more
Subluxation can increase stress hormone levels, contributing to chronic illness. One main effect of subluxation is a change to the ratio of nerve signals that get to the brain to be processed and acted upon – specifically an increase in the body ‘stress’ signals that tell the brain of actual or possible harm. The most … Read more
It cannot be denied that movement deficiency is a problematic state that can lead to many functional consequences if allowed to continue.
