THE Importance OF Structure IN Structure-function Care

The FDA classifies all health care as either Structure-Function Care or Disease Care. This week, we focus on the Structure aspect of Structure-Function Care. In this episode, we talk about: —How Structure affects Function and Function affects Structure. And why doing just Structural Care alone or Functional Care alone will not achieve the same patient results compared to when they are combined. —The "Righting Reflex" that puts the body into an up and down alignment. And how your health will deteriorate rapidly—even leading to death—if this alignment is off. —Why Dr. Prather says putting the Atlas in proper position is the most important thing he can do for a person's health and well-being. —The importance of the supine leg length check to check the health of the body, which Dr. Prather finds that 80% of people have a discrepancy in their length length. And how dying people have a greater length length imbalance. —How Dr. Prather says "maybe" 2-3% of the people are in good shape Structurally. And why it's best for patients to get both Structural and Functional support at the same place. —The thorough diagnostics used by Holistic Integration that "hits it from every single angle" to accurately measure a patient's posture and prove that the proper changes have been made. —Why patients come from other states and even other countries for the "precise and gentle" Atlas Orthogonal adjustment offered at Holistic Integration, with Dr. Prather being the only Board Certified Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractor in the state of Indiana. —Dr. Prather's own story about how the Atlas Orthogonal adjustment helped him to get over Graves' Disease as a young man, which then inspired his entire career. —Why an Atlas adjustment needs to hold at least three months for healing to occur, with most Holistic Integration patients holding it for at least a year. —How Holistic Integration practices an alignment philosophy of Chiropractic adjustment versus the 80% of the industry which uses a mobilization philosophy. *Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community:
