Why
Corrective Care?
The proper
structure of the body determines how it will function and therefore
controls whether someone is truly healthy as well as how well they
perform activities. So what makes Corrective Care so much better
than standard chiropractic? In a word, “correction”.
Normal chiropractic is “treatment” not correction and
while normal chiropractic does help alleviate your symptoms naturally
without drugs or surgery it does not achieve a major correction
of the spinal curve. This means that your problems will likely comeback
and then can even continue to get worse. The following is data on
a study conducted by a medical doctor in research of the truth about
chiropractic.
The Winsor Autopsies
Henry Winsor, a medical doctor in Haverford, Pennsylvania, asked
the question:
"Chiropractors claim that by adjusting one vertebra, they can
relieve stomach troubles and ulcers; by adjusting another, menstrual
cramps; and by adjusting others conditions such as kidney diseases,
constipation, heart disease, thyroid conditions, and lung disease
may resolve--but how?"
Dr. Winsor decided to investigate this new science and art of healing--chiropractic.
Dissections
After graduating from medical school, Dr. Winsor was inspired by
chiropractic and osteopathic literature to experiment. He planned
to dissect human and animal cadavers to see if there was a relationship
between any diseased internal organ discovered on autopsy and the
vertebrae associated with the nerves that went to the organ. As
he wrote:
"The object of these necropsies (dissections) was to determine
whether any connection existed between minor curvatures of the spine,
on the one hand, and diseased organs on the other; or whether the
two were entirely independent of each other."
University Permission
The University of Pennsylvania gave Dr. Winsor permission to carry
out his experiments. In a series of three studies he dissected a
total of 75 human and 22 cat cadavers. The following are Dr. Winsor’s
results:
"Two hundred twenty-one structures other than the spine were
found diseased. Of these, 212 were observed to belong to the same
sympathetic (nerve) segments as the vertebrae in curvature. Nine
diseased organs belonged to different sympathetic segments from
the vertebrae out of line.
These figures cannot be expected to exactly coincide ... for an
organ may receive sympathetic filaments from several spinal segments
and several organs may be supplied with sympathetic (nerve) filaments
from the same spinal segments. In other words, there was nearly
a 100 percent correlation between minor curvatures of the spine
and diseases of the internal organs."
Diseases examined:
• Stomach Diseases
All nine cases of spinal misalignment in the mid-thoracic area (T5-T9)
had stomach disease.
• Lung Disease
All 26 cases of lung disease had spinal misalignments in the upper
thoracic spine.
• Liver Disease
All 13 cases of liver disease had misalignments in the mid thoracic
(T5-T9)
• Gallstones
All five cases with gallstone disease had spinal misalignments in
the mid thoracic.
• Pancreas
All three cases with pancreas disease had spinal misalignments in
the mid thoracics.
• Spleen
All 11 cases with spleen diseases had spinal misalignments in the
mid thoracics.
• Kidney
All 17 cases with kidney disease were out of alignment in the lower
thoracics.
• Prostate and Bladder Disease
All eight cases with kidney, prostate and bladder disease had the
lumbar (L2-L3) vertebrae misaligned
• Uterus
The two cases with the uterine conditions had the second lumbar
misaligned.
• Heart Disease
All 20 cases with heart and pericardium conditions had the upper
five thoracic vertebrae (T1-T5) misaligned.
Dr. Winsor’s results are published in The Medical Times, November
1921, and are found in any medical library.
