What makes it 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.
