Dr. Daniel Helgerman believes that having a healthy, functioning body is the most important aspect to having a high quality of life. Living inside one’s body can feel like being trapped in a prison or can remind us of our rightful freedom to make life an adventure. Recovery from an injury or trauma can literally enable someone to live a life otherwise impossible. It is Dr. Helgerman’s passion to help people achieve their highest potentials through chiropractic care and daily wellness practices, and his healing paradigm emerges from three major premises:1) The human body is a self-organizing, self-developing, self-maintaining, and self-healing organism and its functions are orchestrated primarily through the central nervous system. Excessive imbalances in tension interferes with the nervous systems ability to perform regulatory functions and weakens one’s vitality.2) The human body moves and operates from the principles of “tensegrity”, meaning the body’s structural integrity is dependent on balanced tension and compression throughout the body. All pain syndromes in the spine and lower body as well as many visceral complaints (sluggish digestion, trouble breathing, heartburn, etc.) are due to postural collapse under the pressure of gravity.3) The mind/body/spirit of a human being are not isolated from one another. They function together as the unified complex. It is common for emotional traumas to leave residual tension within our body, keeping us tethered to the past. In our cognitively dominated culture it is common for people to have reconciled a trauma intellectually, but rarely have they allowed the trauma to process through their body. When these emotional tensions are acknowledged and released, the potential for a wiser, more unified self emerges, rather than continuing to feel the body-mind dissonance around past issues.
