Part I –Movement and Locomotion

By Dr. Christian Guenette

The Body as a Machine

If one was to compare the human body with a simple machine, they would find many similarities. Just like a machine, the body has moving parts that are designed for locomotion (such as joints, muscles and ligaments), a fuel-distribution system providing energy to the system (circulation and digestion), an on-board computer to regulate all of the systems (the brain), and an electrical system that connects this computer to the rest of the body (the nervous system). When everything is working properly, the performance of this human machine is optimized and damage is minimized. Alignment is a key factor to ensure proper functioning in all of these areas.

Chiropractic – “A Beautiful Thing” for Pregnancy

by Dr. Shelley Adams

They say that pregnancy is a “beautiful thing.” In my opinion it may be beautiful to watch from the outside but there is nothing beautiful about your head in a bucket, slowly busting out of all your clothes, varicose veins, stretch marks, constipation, heart burn, feeling that the smallest tasks are overwhelming, waking multiple time a night because of back pain, leg cramps or your full bladder and walking around like you are 90 years old. Who ever decided this was beautiful has clearly never been pregnant.

Part II – Energy

By Dr. Christian Guenette

Alignment Affects Energy

Have you ever felt chronically fatigued? Have you ever felt that a workout was harder than expected? Perhaps an ‘easy’ 5km run felt more like it was a tough 10km? You may not know it, but you could have been experiencing an alignment problem – and this may have been what was ‘zapping’ your energy.

When proper alignment is lacking, our physiological systems are required to work harder, consuming more energy and functioning less efficiently, leaving you feeling drained when you are not expected to be. If you experience this condition over a long period of time, this could be one of the factors that leads to the feeling of ‘chronic fatigue’.

Part III – Personal Success as a Function of Alignment

By Dr. Christian Guenette

In previous articles, we compared the body to a simple machine, and observed the affects that those similarities have on the function of its physical systems. Included in these accounts was the importance of alignment for structural integrity, energy efficiency and health and healing. In this article, we will also examine the complex nature of mind-body interactions, and how thoughts and feelings can influence your health, happiness and success.

Pregnancy, Posture, Chiropractic & Trigenics

by Dr. Christian Guenette

Being pregnant is a very wonderful and rewarding experience for most moms-to-be. However, since during pregnancy the female body experiences a number of physical changes, this can also be a time of considerable discomfort for many women.
