ADIO

ADIO - is something that you will see written on our dry erase board - and maybe even on our TEAM shirts this year - for the Vineyard Run :) But I feel like no one knows what it means!

A.D.I.O - Above-Down-Inside-Out - is how the body functions. Your body is a self-healing, self regulating machine. Messages from your brain come from ABOVE - DOWN your spinal cord and out the spinal nerves to every muscle, cell, organ and tissue in your entire body. Your body has innate intelligence and heals from the INSIDE - OUT.

Not from OUTSIDE-IN. You do not have back pain due to a lack of muscle relaxers (outside-in) or sciatica due to a lack of anti-inflammatories (outside-in). You have symptoms because you have a problem. They do not need to be covered up with a "band-aid" - and when no longer have symptoms doesn't mean the problem/cause is gone.

Your body has everything it needs to heal itself from the INSIDE-OUT. You get an infection (bacteria) - your body raises its core temperature to kill the bacteria (fever) - you get chills/shiver to help your body raise its temperature to help kill the bacteria that are in your body.... again INSIDE-OUT. You sprain your ankle, you get an inflammatory response that acts as a self-made splint and the pain signal to your brain - is to force you to rest the area. Your body is amazing!

Your body needs NO help, it just needs NO interference. Subluxations can put pressure on a nerve and decrease or disrupt the signal that nerve is sending/receiving - thus causing a mal-function in the body (symptom). Chiropractors remove the intereference from your body and let your body function at 100% of your genetic potential.
