Have you ever noticed if you get a cut or catch a cold how the body has the capacity to heal?
It would be false to say that any doctor heals the body. If provided the right environment, in most cases, the body will repair and reestablish wellness; however there are many variables in this process.
Have you ever noticed that some people are rarely sick or their wounds heal rapidly?
Most often this is due to the body's balanced systems i.e. immune, nervous, and endocrine, etc. Balance between systems and proper function enable the body to repair or resist disease. Many times illness may arise or wounds persist, due to imbalance in bodily systems, thus affecting function, and diminishing the ability to perform. It can be concluded that keeping the body dynamic allows it to adapt to the stressors and environment.
So if the body has this capacity to heal what is a doctor? The term doctor means educator. Doctors educate and help to remove problems that are not allowing the body to heal. Whether a MD or DC the main idea is to identify cause and remove the processes that interrupt healing starting at the least invasive and progressing if need be. With any problem it is important to provide the proper environment for healing, often it may be addressing the problem directly or removing factors that hinder the ability to heal.
In any case it is important to recognize the importance of keeping the body dynamic through proper functioning systems, nutrition, and conditioning. Health is an active, consistent process to keep the body dynamic. Taking responsibility to keep these systems in order is cost effective and will help maintain quality of life.
