What is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractic services are used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.
Many patients think they need a problem to be seen by a chiropractor, such as back or neck pain. While it is true that chiropractic care and proper spinal alignment is the most effective form of treatment for those symptoms, chiropractic care can help so much more than that. With proper spinal alignment, the body simply functions better.
The intent of chiropractic care is to revive an individual’s self-healing ability by locating and reducing vertebral subluxation. This approach to better health has been helping millions of people for more than a century, without the use of drugs or surgery. B.J Palmer, said, “The power that made the body, heals the body” and chiropractors aim to remove interference within the body, that will further allow the body’s innate intelligence to heal itself. Think of a hose, if the hose is kinked, the water does not flow freely to its exit, if you un-kink that hose, the water flows strong and the way it was intended to. This is a metaphor to how your nervous system communicates to the rest of your body. If there is interference, the messages, the function, and the intentions don't reach its destination as intended. By removing subluxation and interference, a chiropractor acts as a facilitator for your body’s innate intelligence to begin working at it’s optimal potential . Through an adjustment, a chiropractor, for lack of better term, “turns the lights on” within your body. This may sound pretty philosophical, but it is real, science supports it and you will experience it.
