What is Chiropractic Care?

Natural, Safe & Effective.  Chiropractic care is part of the Natural Health Care System, which takes a natural, conservative approach to correcting and facilitating optimal healing of the body.

The main focus of chiropractic care is the alignment and motion of the spine in order to achieve a properly functioning nervous system. 

The Spine = The Structural Life-Line of the Body

There are 24 interconnected vertebrae of the spine that are designed to move in concert with one another. The spine functions to provide:

1) Structure - it is the main, center piece of the skeletal system

2) Movement - it allows us to move dynamically

3) Protection - it houses and protects part of the nervous system, the spinal cord and the spinal nerves (extremely important).

The Nervous System = The Major Communication System of the Body

The Nervous System consist of the brain, the spinal cord, and the spinal nerves. 

Think of the brain as the main power generator,

                      the spinal cord as the main power line,

                              and the spinal nerves as the wiring to the body. 

The function of the nervous system is to control, coordinate, and regulate EVERY muscle, organ, gland, and cell.   The nervous system is constantly sending and receiving millions of vital information to and from the brain and body, which allows the body to function and heal.  

The inability of the nervous system to communicate properly often results in dis-comfort, dis-function and dis-ease of the body.

Subluxation = Misalignments of the Spine

 Subluxations are misalignments of the Spine that place detrimental pressure upon the nervous system and create an interference in the body's ability to function and heal.  When the joints subluxate, which commonly occurs, it becomes fixated or stuck in a position that places detrimental pressure upon the nerves, blood vessels, and muscles in that area.

Subluxations are caused by Stress.  Physical stress (repetitive motion, car accidents, slips and falls, poor posture, see sleeping positions and ergonomics), Emotional stress (grief, anger, depression), and/or Chemical stress (drugs, medications, alcohol, unhealthy foods).

Physical stress places the body in repetitive patterns and are the most common.

Subluxations are similar to tooth decay, it can go unnoticed for months, even years before any symptoms of dis-comfort or pain occurs.  Overtime, the Subluxations can cause symptoms such as lowered immune system, fatigue, arthritis, and many other conditions, in addition to the common Lower Back pain, Neck pain, and Headaches.

Small subluxations NOW can cause big problems over a period of time creating a decrease in quality of life in the future.

Though we can't see our Spine's, taking proper care of it will benefit overall health and living pain-free.  Only a thorough Chiropractic examination will be able to detect the presence of subluxations.

     Doctors of Chiropractic, or Chiropractors, specialize in the detection and correction of subluxations.  You can think of Chiropractor's as highly, specialized Bio-mechanics of the body and the body's function.  This is very important for the fact that many of the common problems and pains are caused by mechanical disfunction.

Chiropractic Care = An Advantage Approach

     Chiropractic care works because your body works.  There is a power that flows through the body that allows the nervous system to energize the body, every muscle to contract, every organ to do its function; it allows the body to heal itself and maintain proper function everyday.  

    This power is called "Innate Intellegence".  Innate is defined as "existing in, belonging to, or determined by factors present in an individual from birth."  Innate intellegence is the reason the body will always do the right thing.  Take for example a cut upon the arm.  We all know what will occur; it will bleed, scab, and scar!  The body will give 100% off its effort, 100% of the time.

     Chiropractic care is an advantage approach to take because its a natural approach that works WITH the body.  It's as simple as detecting the subluxation, correcting and removing the subluxation, and allowing the body to heal itself by restoring optimal function.    

The Doctor of Chiropractic facilitates the natural ability of the body to heal, maintain and strive to express optimal health. The body does all the healing on its own when given a chance. The Chiropractic adjustment is the method in which the subluxations are corrected, restoring function and living pain-free!
