What
is Chiropractic?
The
most important purpose of chiropractic care is the correction
of nerve
interference. Nerve interference promotes sickness and
disease, decreased
performance and improper
functioning of all body organ systems.
The
spinal column consists of 24 moveable bones called vertebrae.
All nerves from the brain travel
down this row of interlocking bones and branch off and
pass through openings along
the spine to get to their
destinations.
Occasionally, one or more of the vertebrae
move out of alignment. We call this a subluxation.
When misalignment of these vertebrae occurs, the
spinal openings narrow and distort the
nerve’s ability to function properly.
If the nerve flow is disrupted because of
nerve interference, chemical imbalances occur, and the
body will function less efficiently. Proper nerve
control is essential for all body functions, including
all organ control, immune response, muscle control,
and chemical and hormonal balances.
The chiropractic adjustment
allows the vertebrae to move back into its proper alignment.
In
turn, this allows the proper
flow of neural impulses to be restored, and the body is
able to
function at
100%.
The
obvious outcome of the chiropractic adjustment may be
a relief in symptoms, an
increase in performance, or an overall sense of better
well being. The true outcome of the chiropractic
adjustment, however, is that the body’s nervous system
functions at 100%,
and the outcome of that is a better, healthier life from
the inside out! |
