Developed
over 100 years ago, this conservative, drug-free, surgery-free approach
to optimal health is based on the premise that the relationship
between the body's structure and function is a significant factor
on your health.
Chiropractic
is a healing discipline firmly grounded in science. Although its
main focus is the relationship between the skeleton (particularly
the spine) and the nervous system that runs through it, chiropractic
is concerned with the care of the entire body.
Chiropractors
use various diagnostics methods, including x-rays,
to discover the state of your health paying particular attention
to your
spine and bone structure. Spinal adjustments, rehabilitative exercises,
passive soft tissue therapies and recommendations regarding nutritional
and lifestyle modifications are their primary methods of helping
your body
heal itself.
Every cell in
your body has a nerve that goes to it. The same nerve
that goes to a muscle or skin cell also goes to the organs, glands,
tissues and blood vessels in that area. Your brain and central nervous
system control how all parts and systems of your body perform their
functions. Irritated nerves can cause functional problems like headaches,
fatigue, sinus allergies and sleep problems, irritability and digestive
problems. It can cause sensory problems like pain, tension, tingling
and numbness.
