Chiropractic is a healing art that recognizes the nervous
system as the primary determining factor of a person's health.
The human nervous system regulates all life-sustaining functions
such as movement, blood circulation, digestion, breathing, and immunity
from disease. The nervous system is comprised of the brain and
spinal cord, which resides inside the spine. Nerves branch out
from the spinal cord, exit from between the bones of the spine (vertebrae),
and divide numerous times until every cell in the body is reached.
Nerves are like electrical wires that run through our body, and
the brain is like a "generator" sending electrical impulses
through these nerves to every single cell, telling them what to
do. Thanks to this miraculous system, living in good health is possible-our
digestive system automatically converts our meals into living tissue;
our lungs automatically take in and extract oxygen from air; cuts
and wounds automatically heal; and invading germs are automatically
attacked and destroyed. Whenever the nervous system is functioning
properly, optimum health is possible.
The
spine, although designed to protect the spinal cord and
its delicate nerves, very often does the opposite. In
the course of living, we encounter minor and major trauma
to the spine, such as the birthing (delivery) process,
slips and falls, sporting accidents, car accidents (whiplash),
repetitive/cumulative trauma associated with work (typing,
lifting) or a hobby (tennis, crocheting, etc.); poor posture,
and obesity. Over time, these events can cause the spine
to change shape, or misalign, and irritate the nerves
within. This results in body dysfunction and ill-health.
Symptoms of spinal misalignment can include pain, numbness,
and tingling in the spine or limbs; chronic headaches;
frequent colds, and the feeling of fatigue and stress.
Chiropractic
is the art and science of detecting spinal misalignments,
called subluxations, and correcting them naturally and
painlessly, without the use of drugs or surgery. When
spinal irritation to the nerves is reduced, nerve function
is restored, and the body typically returns to a more
optimal state, resulting in improved health.
Chiropractors
use the spinal adjustment as the main method of spinal
correction. A spinal adjustment is a precise, manually
delivered, gentle force into a stuck or misaligned joint.
Adjustments improve range-of-motion (flexibility) and
can result in a sensation of well being due to improved
nerve and vascular (circulatory) function.
