Chiropractor, Tampa (Dr. Steve Edelson): Above Down Inside Out.

Chiropractor, Tampa (Dr. Steve Edelson): Above Down Inside Out.
When I went to chiropractic school in Atlanta, the president and founder of the school used to tell us all the time about this saying that was first coined by B.J. Palmer, who was the son of the founder of chiropractic. The saying was 'Above Down Inside Out' and it referred to how and why chiropractic worked. The chiropractic adjustment corrects the position and motion of a joint that is subluxated (stuck in the wrong position, causing nerve irritation and malfunction). When the joint problem is corrected, the power or nerve energy then flows from above (the brain) Down (down the spinal cord and nerves) Inside Out (to the rest of the body) and this is how a chiropractic adjustment helps the body to heal. The problem originates from a nerve that is irritated. An irritated nerve can not properly supply the different parts of the body with proper information and power for proper health to continue. The result is dis-ease, pain, inflamation, and malfunction to the affected part of the body. The adjustment is as powerful as gravity, and thus the 'Above Down Inside Out' principle refers also to the speed that the effect of an adjustment takes place. Our chiropractic school president used to drop keys onto the floor to demonstrate, saying that the speed of an adjustments effect equals that of the speed of the keys that fall to the floor. Once corrected, the message from the brain, and the power and energy is restored to the body and then allows for the body to heal itself. This is where the concept of chiropractic being a non-evasive natural healing art came to be. Without the use of drugs or surgery, chiropractors merely find and correct subluxated joints, and help the body to be as it should be. When the body has no nerve interference, it generally is meant to stay healthy and defeat most viruses, and other insults to our immunb system, not to mention keep us pain free.
