The human body has the ability to adapt to its environment to face the challenges that it presents, but also to use it to achieve its objectives, work with nature and keep itself alive.. This ability of the body to adapt was acquired during evolution, but it has its limits. As long as stresses, whether physical, chemical, emotional or other traumas, do not exceed our capacity to adapt, we have hope of healing and returning functional and healthy. We then consider that we have returned to “normal”, which is never anything other than a new normal for us in the circumstances, because it does not erase the trauma suffered. Despite our history of personal stress, talking about healing is possible, because our ability to adapt is helped by the extraordinary power of plasticity of our nervous system. Thanks to that neuroplasticity, it is capable of changing bad habits into good habits, bad postures into good postures, harmful thoughts and thoughts that strengthen us, etc. Chiropractic understood this principle a long time ago, and uses it to support patients in their healing. So yes, we help the nervous system to recover its vital forces, its “electricity”, particularly through spinal adjustments. These corrections notably stimulate the body's proprioceptors, which are receptors which constantly report our positions in space, our balance, our tensions. By positively stimulating our proprioception through chiropractic adjustments, we correct the impacts left by our history of trauma throughout life and we increase our general capacity for adaptation.
