What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractors are most often recognized as doctors who treat back and neck pain. Although chiropractors are highly successful in treating these conditions, chiropractors are actually health specialists.
First we need to review the fact that your brain's communication to your body occurs through the spinal cord. Your spinal cord is housed by 24 moveable vertebrae. These vertebrae function to protect the cord and allow for movement by the muscles that attach to the vertebrae. If there is an imbalance of the muscles over time, injury from a trauma (i.e. sports injury, car accident), postural distortion with aging or being born with a condition, misalignments can occur in the spine. This can lead to a decrease in how the nevous system functions. Once this process starts, there is a decrease in health due to a less than optimal functioning nervous system.
The premise behind chiropratic is to remove nerve interference, increase the body's function and overall, improve health.
