What is Chiropracitc?
What is Chiropractic and how does it work?
Your nervous system is so vital- it is literal the life force that supplies every cell in our body. Your brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves make up the nervous system. Your spinal cord is protected by 24 moving bones called vertebrae. Nerves branch out between the vertebrae and travel to all areas of the body. You cannot take a step without the brain telling the body to move.
When a vertebrae becomes misaligned it irritates and puts pressure on the nerves. This is called a vertebral subluxation. The message from the brain to the body is slowed and the life energy carried by the nerve is unable to each the organs and tissues at 100% of its potential. Messages coming from the body up to the brain signal to the brain that something is wrong. The Brain reacts and releases inflammation and stress hormones in an attempt to fix the problem and gain back proper communication.
Chiropractic care works by removing interference in the nervous system allowing your body to communicate properly with your brain and allowing 100% of the nerve energy to reach your organs and tissues.
If we have a properly functioning spine, then we will have a healthy functioning nervous system, which will provide optimum health. If our nervous system is not working optimally, due to spinal misalignments, this can cause a series of events which leads to injury, disease and illness. The chiropractic adjustment removes these misalignments, thereby removing interference to the nervous system, enhancing health and well being.
