Chiropractic is more of a lifestyle than just a treatment. It's a way to living to the fullest.Chiropractic was founded on the idea that the core of our health is our nervous system, with the spine as the foundation. The idea being that, if there are shifts in this foundation, the structural and nervous systems will react. The spine's function as the structural center of your body is to operate as a neurological relay station, processing all information sent between brain and body. So, when there are shifts and imbalances of the spine, our bodies can react in many different ways. Often the result is pain, while other times, it causes improper function of muscles, organs and systems. Imbalances to our bodies is caused by stress. Stress is often physical, but also can be nutritional, environmental, or emotional. It is this stress which underlies basically all health issues due to its effect on any of the body's systems. Doctors of Chiropractic diagnose and treat the underlying causes of health problems, and work to restore natural balance to the body. They set treatment plans to target the underlying cause, to resolve the manifestations of stress in the body, and to re-establish balance in the central nervous system. In the spine, stress causes minor misalignments and fixations called subluxations. To treat these, Chiropractors employ manual techniques called adjustments, to re-establish proper alignment. For further support of the treatment, the doctor will often also advise on nutrition, rehabilitative exercises, and develop modifications in the patient's daily activities to help achieve a state of dynamic health and longevity. Chiropractic has been found to be some of the safest, most effective, and cost efficient medical treatments to resolve pain, improve function, and to support overall health. |
