WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?Chiropractic is a philosophy, art, and science dedicated to the improvement and maintenance of health by removing spinal misalignments called vertebral subluxations that interfere with the nervous system.
WHO GOES TO A CHIROPRACTOR?Many people often think that they only need to see a chiropractor when they have a back or neck pain, but the truth remains that regular visits to a chiropractor is vital to maintaining sound health and fitness. Everyday events such as improperly lifting of an object, sleeping in the wrong position, or poor posture can put strain on the spine and cause subluxation, which leads to your body being unbalanced. Regular visits to a chiropractor can help to keep your spine properly aligned and healthy.
THE SCIENCE OF CHIROPRACTICThe spine is composed of 24 vertebrae. The vertebrae protect the spinal cord and brain stem while also allowing movement of the trunk. Because of the spine's connection with the nervous system, a subluxation can result in practically any health problem. Gray's Anatomy states "The spine controls and coordinates all bodily functions." When these bones are out of proper alignment, they may press on nerves which they are supposed to protect. This is known as a chiropractic subluxation. This pressing (or pinching) of nerves may disrupt the proper function of the body. This disruption may cause problems such as pain, dis-ease, and serious illness.
THE ART OF CHIROPRACTICChiropractors are highly trained in the specialized skill of locating, analyzing, and correcting vertebral subluxations. Chiropractors use gentle, specific movements of the spinal bones to help the body restore proper alignment of the vertebrae. The Chiropractic adjustment is different from any other form of manipulation.
