How does chiropractic work?
How chiropractic works
To fully understand this question and its answer we must first know a little bit
about how the body works and what can cause it to work improperly.
The brain controls all the body's functions. It communicates with other parts of
the body by nerve impulses. Most of these impulses are relayed to the other
body parts via the spinal cord. The spinal cord is protected by the spinal column,
which consists of individual vertebrae separated by cushioning discs.
From the spinal column, nerves network out between the vertebra to most of the
organs and muscles in the body. Upon exceptional stress to your spinal column,
such as an accident, years of poor posture, or long-term tension, the vertebrae
can slip out of position and "pinch a nerve." The term for this condition is
SUBLUXATION.
A vertebral subluxation is a misaligned vertebra causing interference with nerve
messages between the brain and the body. This can cause symptoms of
backache, tingling in the arms and legs, headaches, fatigue, improper digestion
and other system dysfunction.
Now that we know how the body works we can begin to understand how
chiropractic works.
Chiropractic locates subluxations and through gentle adjustments can restore
the body's normal functions. With nerve passages open and regulatory impulses
free to pass, the body's miraculous nervous system can heal itself. Chiropractic
goes directly to the root of the problem. It does not mask symptoms as painkillers
and frequently addictive prescription drugs often do.
