Spinal Health and Wellness
There is no part of your body that escapes the dominance of your nervous system. Improper function of the spine due to slight misalignments can cause poor health and function, even in areas far away from the spine and spinal cord itself. These misalignments are called subluxations, and can reduce the ability of your body to adapt to its ever-changing environment. Even the slightest malfunction of your spine has the potential to alter the regular transmission of nerve impulses. This may result in preventing the affected portions of your body from responding and acting in a healthy way.
Natural health care without drugs or surgery
Chiropractic is a natural form of health care that uses spinal adjustments to correct misalignments (subluxations) and restore proper function to the nervous system. This helps your body to heal naturally, on its own. Chiropractic doesn’t use drugs or surgery. Instead, a chiropractic spinal adjustment is used, the application of a precise force to a specific part of the spine. This corrects the misalignment, allowing normal nerve transmission and helping your body to heal on its own.
Chiropractic is used for both acute and chronic health conditions. Chiropractic is best known for reducing/eliminating back and neck pain, but chiropractors can do so much more! The chiropractic approach to health is to look at the whole person, not just the body part affected by pain or disease. By reducing and eliminating spinal misalignments with a chiropractic adjustment, the body can begin to heal itself. Many times the patient will experience improvement in several areas of their health in addition to improvement of their primary complaint. When the body is free to function properly, the improved nerve and blood flow can help more than just one area of pain or dysfunction!
