"ADAPTATION"
Adaptation is an advantageous conformation of an organism to change in its environment.  The ability to adapt is what separates the animated from the unanimated.  Although all matter that exists on the planet share the same building block elements only animated (vitalistic) matter has the ability to adapt to the environment. 

This ability to adapt defines life.  Your present and future health is dependant upon what environmental stresses you are exposed to and consequently how successful your body is able to adapt.  Most disease is blamed on environmental toxins or “bad genes”, but study after study continues to show that neither toxins nor genetics alone are the causative factor.  Whether your body builds a disease or not will be largely determined by the ability or inability to adapt. 

Identical twins do not share the same cancers.  Small numbers of people who worked with asbestos ever develop mesothelioma.  For most of these people their body was able to somehow adapt and therefore prevent them from building the disease.  How you may ask?  That is a great question with many known and unknown answers.  What we are certain of is the ability to adapt is directly dependant upon how well the individual body is performing.  Performance is the focus of chiropractic care. 

Subluxation (nerve interference) compromises the body's performance, thus threatening your body's ability to best adapt.  By having your spine checked regularly for subluxation you are fortifying adaptations, which will ultimately determine your future health.
