Why Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline that is centered on the role of the spine and central nervous system in maintaining good health, and leveraging the recuperative power of the body to heal itself naturally and efficiently. The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (of the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.

If spinal segments (or the spinal joints) get “stuck” and don't move right, they can chafe delicate nerves. If the joint moves too much, it can press against adjacent nerve tissue. This can interfere with the vital transmissions over your nervous system that help keep your brain in touch with your body. The result is called a Subluxation. This involves misaligned bones interfering with nerves. It also involves muscles becoming too tight or weak, discs, ligaments, or other connective tissue can become inflamed. Bone spurs, and arthritic degeneration can set in.

Subluxations are serious! The most important aspect of Subluxations is its effect on your nervous system. Compromising the way your nervous system controls and regulates your body can have grave consequences. Distorted communications between your brain and your body can cause all kinds of health problems beyond just headaches and backaches. Your nervous system is like an information highway between your brain and body. Your entire life and functioning depends on this highway between your brain and body working properly. Like a cell phone that disconnects, a Subluxation may cause your brain and body to lose vital communications. Chiropractors are the only health professionals that are licensed and trained to detect, reduce, and prevent spinal Subluxations.
