FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
 What is Spinology?
Spinology is a profession that has specifically evolved to assist the human body to function more optimally, in the face of an ever-increasing array of forces to which we are all subjected in the modern world. It does this by ensuring that the nerve system is free from interference through spinal obtrusions. A spinal obtrusion is a situation where the body is unable to maintain the correct relationships between the bones of the spinal column, thus altering the environment of the spinal cord and spinal nerve roots, and impeding the transmission of impulses between the brain and the rest of the body. Based on the premise that the living body is always working to correct itself and adapt ideally to its environment, Spinologists apply gentle, specific forces into the muscles around the spinal column to help the body correct spinal obtrusions.
Why do people see a Spinologist?
People see Spinologists so that they can reach their optimum levels of function, and live the best and longest life possible. Some people also attend for the purpose of relieving pain and other symptoms, or addressing body malfunctions or conditions. Regardlesss of the initial intention of the recipient, the objective of the Spinologist is to find areas of interference to the spinal cord and spinal nerves (spinal obtrusions), and work with the person's body to correct these situations.
What is a Spinal Obtrusion?
A spinal obtrusion is a situation where the body is unable to maintain the proper relationship between the bones of the spine. This causes a change in the environment of the spinal cord and spinal nerve roots, housed within the spinal column, which conduct their vital messages by exchanging substances with their direct surroundings so that signals pass along their fibres. This change in environment subsequently interferes with the transmission of the information between the brain and the rest of the body, meaning that the functioning and performance of the body are compromised. The interference imposed by a spinal obtrusion does not simply affect the area to which the nerve fibres directly pass, but also the information being received by the brain upon which it bases its commands. The entire function of the body is therefore affected to some extent.
What causes Spinal Obtrusions?
Spinal obtrusions can be caused by any force that the body is unable to effectively adapt. Different forces affect different people in varying ways and at various times. Slouching at a desk, for instance, may cause a spinal obtrusion for someone because their body can't handle it at that particular time, when at another time it may be able to do so. These forces, therefore, can originate from a vast number of sources. Examples can be car accidents and other traumas, poor postural habits (again, varying from person to person), repetitive activities that gradually overcome the body, birth trauma, the impacts of drugs, alcohol, and pollutants, emotional stress and an almost endless array of others.
What exactly does a Spinologist do?
Spinologists find spinal obtrusions by using their hands to identify any areas where the body is attempting to correct the relationship between the bones of the spine (vertebrae). Once these areas have been identified, the Spinologist will provide a series of very gentle and specifically delivered forces, with their hands, into the muscles around the spinal column to assist the body in making the changes in spinal structure and dynamics that it is already trying to make for itself. These procedures are usually pleasant and certainly painless.
What outcomes can someone expect from seeing a Spinologist?
Because everyone is different, the way people feel after receiving Spinology services varies widely from person to person. People regularly state that they feel exhilirated and energised, have better concentration and memory, less mood swings, more creativity and more effective learning patterns. Many have also reported major changes in pain syndromes and other symptoms. However, the most important outcome, is that their bodies have the best opportunity to begin working at full capacity, so that their quality of life improves. This does not always mean that recipients feel "good" all the time, because the body has systems in place to give us parameters within which to most effectively operate, and some of the main mechanisms for those parameters are pain and other symptoms. In other words, having pain and other symptoms, or feeling "bad", can actually be strong signs that the body is functioning properly.
Is it like chiropractic, osteopathy or physiotherapy?
In some ways yes, but there are more differences than similarities. It is true that all of these professions may deal with the spinal column and its associated tissues at various times, but there are some very important differentiating factors:
Spinologists do not use comparative systems of analysis. All of the professions mentioned above will use comparisons with a pre-established ideal as a way of determining whether any given person requires their assistance (for example, an x-ray may be taken and compared to a "normal", whereupon any deviation from that normal is deemed to require the intervention of the practitioner). The Spinology analysis therefore assesses only the responses that each person makes as an individual at the time of consultation.
* Spinologists do not manipulate the spinal column. Manipulation means the forced passive movement of a joint beyond its active range. Spinologists work with the body to help it to make the changes that it is seeking for itself, rather than forcing it to do anything that it does not want to do.
* Spinology is a non-therapeutic profession. Health care professions, such as those listed above, have the common objective of diagnosing and treating disease. People very often attend these practitioners for pain relief and treatment of symptoms. Spinologists recognise that symptoms are totally subjective and are very poor indicators of the levels of body function. The Spinologists' view is that all people are better off without spinal obtrusions and nerve system interference, regardless of whether they have a particular symptom or not.
