Was reading other interesting articles - a google search will give you!!!
One of the articles was mentioning correcting a disorder by adjusting the spine & the bones. It is so distinctly different from the kind of theory that says "what causes the disorder in bones and spine is the thought". Really amusing since, the root cause is actually a thought and not the physical outcome!!! However, this theory is slightly different, it would provide corrective postures or bone/muscle shift to relieve pain in other parts of the body. Well, I would not say that this is far from truth since the body is one integrated system and that is how acupressure, reflexology etc work. Nevertheless, I wonder whether this will be applicable to all disorders/diseases!!!
