What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic focuses on disorders of the nervous system, spine and muscles.... Think of it this way: Your brain is the most important organ in your body. It directs all the activities of the body through the nerves. The main connector for the brain to the body is the spinal cord which breaks off into nerves and exit to the body through the spinal column. There is a relationship between these delicate nerves, spinal cord, bones and muscles. The vertebral column has a series of joints between each bone which, with activity, trauma and even inactivity can cause subluxations or "sticking" between the joints affecting the nerves, muscles and the other surrounding joints. Think of this joint sticking as a rusty hinge on a door, it takes a little bit of pressure and oil to get it moving properly again. Pressure is placed on the nerves and they will continue to send information but at a less desirable rate, which can cause muscle spasms, atrophy of the muscles or pain. The subluxations or "sticking" in the bones can cause problems with movement not to mention pain. The main idea about all of this is your nervous system, when under any kind of interference, is not working to its fullest potential. We want our cars working their best, we want our kids functioning the best they can, why not our bodies?
There are some concerns about the safety of chiropractic. http://http//journals.lww.com/spinejournal/Abstract/2007/10010/Safety_of_Chiropractic_Manipulation_of_the.16.aspx
As with any health care method, please know all the safety and warnings. Read all labels and prescription adverse reactions. The statistics will amaze you if you want to base any health care method on the statistics.
I can tell you, Chiropractic works, its effective, safe and will help in most situations. What I mean by that is, it will work for you if you follow recommendations of the doctor, find a reputable doctor and take care of your body. Take responsibility of your health. You are in control of it and the only person who can take care of it.
This is just an introduction to Chiropractic on humans and animals. Join me in this journey.
