My name is Alli and I started working in the field of chiropractic about 6 months ago.  My husband recently graduated from chiropractic school and we now work together at Mouw Chiropractic.  It has been fun and interesting to work with my husband, and even more interesting to learn more about the world of chiropractic!  I have learned so much in the last few months that I thought I would share with the world my favorite top ten chiropractic truths: 

 1.  The body heals itself.

2.  Chiropractic helps the body heal from the "inside-out" versus from the "outside-in".  

3.  Suppressing symptoms, such as a fever or inflammation, stops the body from healing itself.

4.  Ice is a much better form of therapy on a sore area of the spine than heat.

5.  There are 3 types of stress that can cause a subluxation (misalignment) of the spine:  Chemical, Emotional and Physical.

6.  The way you think has physical effects!  Thinking positively helps you heal. Adversely, thinking negatively can cause you harm.

7.  Pain is the last symptom of a problem with your nervous system.

8.  The Sensory nerves (which transmit pain and pressure) are only 10% of the overall nervous system.

9.  Your posture can tell you alot about what is happening on the inside of the body.

10.  The muscles on your back need to be stronger than the muscles on the front of your body.
