Chiropractic is a natural approach to better health
1) The body is a self-healing, self-regulating organism.
2) The nervous system controls the function of every cell, tissue, and organ in the body.
3) Physical, chemical & emotional stress can cause vertebral subluxations (see description below) to develop in the spine.
4) Subluxations prevent the nervous system from functioning normally, therefore affecting human performance & overall health.
Health is optimal physical, mental and social well-being; not merely the absence of pain, disease or illness.
Dorland’s Medical Dictionary
Here are two vertebrae, (bones in your spine) connected with a disc and a nerve. The vertebrae are aligned properly, one on top of the other. The disc doesn’t bulge and the nerve is not pinched. The connection between brain and the rest of the body are “free” at this particular level and there is no interference in communication between the brain and the body.
A subluxation occurs when the vertebra becomes misaligned causing the disc to bulge and surrounding muscles and ligaments to become inflamed. This results in physical and chemical irritation to the nerve, causing the nerve impulses to be altered leading to dysfunction to any organs, muscles or tissues affected by that nerve.
A Subluxation is caused by:
Trauma (a sports injury, bad posture, heavy lifting)
Emotional Stress ( work, relationships)
Chemicals (poor diet, medications, excessive lifestyle)
When your spine has been misaligned for months or even years, the damage builds up and the disc deteriorates. Bone spurs form, you lose mobility, and the damage to the nerve causes muscle weakness and ill-health.
YOU CAN’T DO the things you love, with those you love to do them with.
Chiropractors use their hands to adjust spinal subluxations and place your spine back to it’s natural position. This restores mobility which reducing the irritation to the nerve. Neurological health is restored because the flow of nerve impulses are no longer altered and communication is restored between your brain and your body. Optimal health and full life expression can be experienced!
Subluxations usually go undetected for years. By the time you are feeling pain, it is highly probable that you have had a subluxation for some time. This is why it is especially important to have your spine evaluated before symptoms appear. The longer you go with a subluxation, the more time and effort it takes to correct it.
Don’t wait until your spine is worn and pain holds you back from enjoying life.
