"The Chiropractic Centre" with Dr Barry Decker

vincent Season 1 Episode 139

Barry arrived in Hong Kong in 1990 following his graduation from the Philip Institute in Melbourne in 1987 and he practices as a Brain-Based-Chiropractor focusing on removing blocks in the nervous system so his clients brains and bodies are aligned. His mission is to optimize peoples’ health to enable them to live their lives to their full potential. In the podcast Barry shares his story of why and how he became a chiropractor.

 Additionally, Barry explains that our bodies know how to self-heal. He shares, in detail, a case study of a six-month old boy with a fever to illustrate how he works with his clients. The six-month old boy was in fact his own son. What is Chiropractic? Barry explains, it is about affecting neurology, it has to be specific to the joint to effect the proprioception in the nerves which fire to the spinal cord up to the brain to allow a connection to the joint. 

 He is a firm believer in the ability of the body to heal itself, we need to be smart, of course, seeking professional assistance for acute conditions on an as needed basis. Barry believes that we can do a lot to help ourselves and he shares his morning and evening routines to give plenty of examples of practices he undertakes.
