Total Body Modification (TBM)


What is TBM?

Total Body Modification is a technique that is used to find the organor area of the body that is stressed, determine why it is stressed andcorrect the problem by restoring balance to the nervous system.

In other words, while basic Chiropractic is used to correct the Structure and influence the function, TBMcorrects the Functional Physiology (how the body works) which may inturn influence structure. Both are essential for optimum health.

In the early days of Chiropractic, the "old time Chiropractor" was notrestricted or confused by "scientific proof" of what they were able todo. These old masters found a problem and corrected it, thereby,building the reputation of Chiropractic with their main philosophybeing that the power that made the body, could correct the body.

TBM has taken that philosophy and explored the possibilities inherent in the human body of self-regeneration. TBMhas demonstrated that if the right thing is done to the body at theright time and right way, wonders can happen. By taking the techniquesof the old Chiropractic masters and combining them with moderntechnology, TBM has been able to duplicate the corrections and restoration to health that the old masters were able to do.

 

How Total Body Modification Works?

Thenervous system is composed of the Central Nervous System, which runsthe voluntary function or movements and the Autonomic Nervous Systemwhich runs the involuntary functions of the body, such as heart beat,digestion, etc. Each of these systems are further divided into Sensoryand Motor Fibers.

The brain is the primary control forboth branches of the nervous system. Sensory Fibers carry messages tothe brain where they are processed, like a computer, and the brain inturn, tells the body what to do.

Research has proven thatunder sufficient stress, for any reason, the neurons in the braincenters, which are controlling the stressed organ or body part,essentially depolarize. This is like blowing a fuse on an electriccircuit. The message gets to the brain but fails to return. The resultis that the brain (computer) loses effective control over the afflictedorgan or body part. This leaves the organ or body part running out ofcontrol.

Using tried and tested reflex points and muscle testing, the TBMpractitioner can find the problem. The practitioner will then stimulatea specific area or areas of the spine in a specific manner in anattempt to stimulate the neurons in the brain to repolarize (fix thefuse) and allow the brain to regain control of the body and guide itback to health. Since a correctly functioning nervous system is a majorrequirement for health, it follows that TBM can have a part to play in almost any problem and uncover and correct the roadblocks to recovery.
