Wellness...Naturally!
At birth we are born perfect, that is all muscles are completely balanced, all nerves are normal, and all organs and tissues function at 100 %. As a result of this, we also have perfect posture with level hips, shoulders, and a level head. This is present until we are subject to some type of stress beyond what our body can adapt to. It is important to mention that for each muscle pulling in one direction in our body, there is a muscle on the other side pulling exactly the opposite way. In other words, all muscles are counter-balanced. If one muscle pulls with 90 pounds of pressure, then the muscle that opposes it also must pull with 90 pounds of pressure. As long as all muscles are balanced, we have good posture and our spine is held erect in its normal position. However, if a muscle becomes blocked today, say perhaps in the lower part of your spine, you will not feel any symptoms. But now, the muscle that normally balances the blocked muscle will begin to pull harder until one day it will be under such severe stress that it will pull a part of the spine that it attaches to out of place. When the vertebrae go out of place, the nerve gets irritated. Now there develops a loss of function in the tissues that the irritated nerve supplies and the body resistance is lowered and disease can occur. Now, muscles get blocked and turned off for many reasons. It can be due to the cranial stress centers on the skull being turned off. It can be due to cranial bones being jammed, vertebrae out of place, and even bones jammed in our feet. All of the different testing that Dr. Prins does is to find what is turning the muscles and systems off and correct it. As the muscles are turned on again, the spine is balanced and posture returns to normal. The treatment of Dr. Prins actually consists of the following: 1. Adjusting the misaligned vertebrae back into place that were pulled out by the muscle imbalance. 2. The ligaments that help hold the vertebrae in place must return to normal, and regain their holding power. 3. Many different tests all over the body, especially the head, must be performed, in order to turn all the muscles and systems on again.
