Non-Linear
Dynamics and the explanation of how your adjustment has such far
reaching effects- WOW! If you are thinking that I have spent too much
time over at MIT the answer is no,lol. But this little explanation will
help you understand how this Chiropractic endeavor works based on ...
Yes science:
Linear systems are Newtonian in nature meaning that Newtons law of motion states that a body at rest
tends to stay at rest and one in motion tends to stay in motion until
an outside force is exerted on them. This law of Newton mechanics for
many years accounted for motion of virtually any object. Linear systems
also work on the theory that "what you put in is proportional to what is
put out." Well in living systems this just does not play out. The
auditory system shows us that a very small sound stimulus can have a
very large response in the hair cells of the inner ear. So a non-linear
system is at play here in the auditory system where upon non-linear
systems function on the concept that output is not proportional to
input.
A Physiological principle known as the Arndt-Schultz Law states
1. Small doses of force stimulate functions in living organisms with little or no inhibition.
2. Larger doses of force initially stimulate and then equally inhibit function.
3. Very large forces dramatically stimulate function for a very short
time only and dramatically and for long periods of time inhibit, even to
the point of death.
SOOOO lets think about the adjustment ...
More force is probably a bad idea! In fact the High velocity Low
amplitude force is why Chiropractic adjustments have such a awesome
effect on stimulating function. If you used high amplitude you would
actually do the reverse of your intention [too much force}. Effects on the nervous system are thus far reaching!!
