What is Chiropractic?
Each of us is designed to be healthy. Chiropractic care helps to
restore optimum function.
Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your body is a
self-regulating, self-healing organism. These important functions are
controlled by the brain, spinal cord and all the nerves from the body.
The skull protects the delicate tissues of the brain. The moving
bones of the spine protect the vulnerable communication pathways of
the spinal cord and nerve roots. If the nervous system is impaired, it
can cause malfunction of the tissues and organs throughout the body.
Doctors call this, "Vertebral Subluxation Complex." Vertebral,
meaning the bones of the spine; Subluxation, meaning less than a
dislocation; Complex, meaning consisting of more than one party.
Chiropractic medicine is the science of locating offending spinal
structures, the art of reducing their impact to the nervous system and
the philosophy of all things natural.
How does chiropractic work?
Your Chiropractor works with you to restore your own inborn ability to
be healthy. When under the proper control of your nervous system,
all the cells, tissue and organs of your body are designed to resist
disease and ill health.
Today's Chiropractic doctor looks for the underlying nervous system
impairments that can be the cause of many health problems.
A common interference to the nervous system is the 24 moving bones
of the spinal column. When you are dealing with an auto accident
injury, back alignment issues, neck pain or a herniated disc, for
instance, these bones may have lost their normal motion or position
leading to irritation or impairment of the nervous system. This can
disrupt the transmission of controlling nerve impulses.
With improved spinal function there is often improved nervous
system function. Working with your chiropractor and applying
techniques such as chiropractic massage and medicine, you can
remove interferences that may be impairing your normal health. Since
the primary focus of your care is improved nervous system function,
chiropractic health care can have a positive effect on many health
conditions and not just "back" problems.
