How Chiropractic Works
The brain controls all the body's functions. It communicates with other parts of the body by nerve impulses. Most of these impulses are relayed to the other body parts via the spinal cord. The spinal cord is protected by the spinal column, which consists of individual vertebrae separated by cushioning discs.
From the spinal column, nerves network out between the vertebra to most of the organs and muscles in the body. Upon exceptional stress to your spinal column, such as an accident, years of poor posture, or long-term tension, the vertebrae can slip out of position and "pinch a nerve." The term for this condition is SUBLUXATION.
A vertebral subluxation is a misaligned vertebra causing interference with nerve messages between the brain and the body. This can cause symptoms of backache, tingling in the arms and legs, headaches, fatigue, improper digestion and other system dysfunction.
Now that we know how the body works we can begin to understand how chiropractic works.
Chiropractors locate subluxations and through gentle adjustments can restore the body's normal functions. With nerve passages open and regulatory impulses free to pass, the body's miraculous nervous system can heal itself. Chiropractic goes directly to the root of the problem. It does not mask symptoms as painkillers and frequently addictive prescription drugs often do. There is an opioid crisis in the United States and Chiropractic is the answer to preventing more people from becoming addicted to these highly dangerous painkillers. Try the natural choice first! Try Chiropractic!
