What is Chiropractic?

What makes Chiropractic so different?

The focus of traditional health care is on germs and blood. Chiropractic is different. Chiropractic produces results by helping your nervous system work the way it should.

It's a scientific fact that your brain, spinal cord and the rest of your nerves control every aspect of your body. Hinder the vital nerve links between your brain and your body, and ill health can result. A common source of interference comes from the moving bones that protect your spinal cord.

These interferences called subluxations can produce a variety of health problems.

Every tissue in the body has a related nerve, and therefore every tissue is controlled by the nervous system

Subluxations

You have more than 200 bones in your body. Whenever two bones come together at a joint, there can be movement. Since joints in your spine are so close to the spinal cord and nerve roots, too much or too little joint motion can have serious effects.

If spinal bones get "stuck" and don't move right, they can irritate or chafe delicate nerves. If a joint moves too much, spinal bones can press against adjacent nerve tissue. This can interfere with the vital "life force" transmitted over your nervous system that helps keep your brain in touch with your body.

The result is the vertebral subluxation complex or more simply, a subluxation

How do you get subluxations? There are three basic causes of subluxations. Physical causes include slips and falls, accidents, repetitive motions and improper lifting. Stress, anger and fear are examples of emotional causes of subluxations. Alcohol, drugs, pollution and poor dietary habits can be chemical causes of subluxations.

Adjustments

How do they work?

Spinal joints that are "locked up," fixated or not moving right can affect your health by "choking" or irritating nearby nerve tissue. Chiropractic adjustments add or correct mothion to these joints. This helps remove interferences and helps restore nervous system integrity. This can improve the healing process.

There are many ways to adjust the spine. This includes over 100 individual techniques. Sometimes the doctor will use his hands to deliver a quick and accurate thrust. He may also use a moving table to produce intermittent stretching to specific areas. Other times the doctor may augment his adjustments by using massage or muscle releases to decrease muscle tone in overactive muscles, improving the motion of a joint.

Just about anyone can be adjusted. Newborns, infants, children, seniors and even failed back surgery patients can benefit. Naturally, your doctor tailors your chiropractic care to your size, age and unique health problem.
