Chiropractic is the combination of Science, Art, and Philosophy.
The Science… The central nervous is made up from your brain and spinal cord. While the brain is protected by the skull, the spinal cord is more vulnerable and is covered by 24 movable vertebrae. When the bones lose their normal position or motion, they can irritate the nervous system. This disrupts the function of the tissues and organs that these nerves control, and is called the “Vertebral Subluxation Complex.”
The Art... Doctors of Chiropractic specialize in the evaluation and non-surgical, drug-free treatment of structural imbalances in the body. With specific put on the spine and its effects on the nervous system, your Chiropractor will locate areas of spinal malfunction and correct them with an “adjustment.” The word adjustment describes a way of using carefully directed and controlled pressure to restore spinal bones to a normal position and motion. When spinal function is improved, your nervous system function which controls your health will improve, too!
The Philosophy... Chiropractic doctors recognize that regardless of the type of doctor you consult, doctors don’t heal, only the body can heal itself. As Sophisticated diagnostic equipment becomes available, researchers are affirming what chiropractors have known all along.
THE EFFECTS OF AN ADJUSTMENT: Release of the irritation to a nerve Restore joint mobility Improve nerve energy to the surrounding muscles and organs Decrease nerve excitability which causes muscle spasm and pain Decrease joint irritation and inflammation
CHIROPRACTIC APPROACH Your body will give you a lot of good years if you take care of it. You need to be aware of your spine and all the possible injuries or simple traumas that can occur to it. Pay attention to backache and pains. Make an appointment with your Doctor of Chiropractic. He or she will check for spinal misalignments, subluxations to the vertebrae, that may be causing trouble for your great communication system.
Spinal adjustments are the primary tools that your Doctor of Chiropractic will be using to facilitate your recovery. The removal of your subluxation, a vertebra out of position irritating a nerve, is the most important aspect of your treatment. More important is maintainance of the irritation through regular Chiropractic adjustments.
