More about Exodus Chiropractic

To provide further insight on how the body adapts physiologically under stress, here at Exodus Chiropractic Dr Pete likes to use the “rubber band” analogy. When your body is properly adapting to stress, the spinal cord is in its most relaxed position – like a “rubber band” resting in the palm of your hand. When consumed by stress, the tension on the spinal cord increases. The dura (the outer layer of the spinal cord) stretches and twists, like when you pull on both ends of a rubber band. When stress becomes chronic, your spinal cord can no longer achieve a relaxed position. Nor can it return to its normal state. Harmful neurological patterns can then develop and make it impossible for your body to adapt and recover. Our A3 model of care breaks these harmful neurological patterns and restores that stretched and worn out rubber band (your spine) to its original and healthy condition!

At Exodus Chiropractic, we have a lot of unique terms and vocabulary. In our office, we have a big poster that asks, “Are you being chased by a tiger?”

What does that mean?

Being chased by a tiger in synonymous to a body that is under constant and chronic stress.

God has created your body to “adapt to” and “recover from” stress. STRESS (ie. physical, chemical, emotional and spiritual) affects us everyday of our lives – it’s inevitable and unavoidable! However, our body’s were created to “adapt physiologically” to the stressors in our lives and then return back to a place of homeostasis and rest. Dr. Pete often says, “A little stress motivates, more stress complicates, but a lot of stress breaks down and deteriorates the body.” The problem lies when the body loses it’s ability to return to a place of homeostasis and rest.

tiger_exodus_chiroIt is the lack of resiliency to stress that leads to all the health problems that people face today.

Common physiological changes to chronic stress (symptoms of being chased by a tiger):

At Exodus, our goal is not to treat the symptoms of stress, but to address and heal the source.

We cage tigers!

Caging tigers is a process. At Exodus, we have developed a model of care that identifies the true threat – STRESS, cages the tiger of stress, and increases the body’s resiliency to it. Our A3 model of care is broken down into 3 phases…

Phase 1 – Adaptation

Goal

Break all harmful neurological patterns on the spine that prevent the body from properly adapting to stress and the environment.
Add building blocks to sustain the new changes.

Why?

To bring the body from a place consumed in stress, to a properly “Adapting” body.
Survival is the main goal of this phase – to get your body to a state where it can adapt and endure.
Phase 2 – Awareness

Goal

Retrain the body to properly “Adapt” & “Recover” to stress and the environment.
Why?

So your body can regain proper “Awareness” to the internal and external environment in which it lives.
Retraining the body is the goal in this phase. Just as someone who has woken up from a coma must re-learn how to walk.
Phase 3 – Abundance

Goal

To facilitate the body’s ability to continually Adapt and Recover.
Why?

This final phase will allow your body to Express Health and Experience Life to the fullest.
Our ultimate goal is for your body to be able to Experience and Express.
Our ultimate goal at Exodus Chiropractic is to always first glorify God and to second help your body express health so that you can experience life to the fullest.
