What Is Chiropractic?
Put simply, chiropractic is the detection and removal of the Vertebral Subluxation Complex.
Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that all living organisms possess an inborn ability to adapt to their environment and that this adaptation occurs as a result of the nervous system (homeostasis).
This inborn (innate) wisdom is centered in the brain, the control center for the entire body.
The brain communicates this wisdom throughout the body to every Cell, Tissue, Organ, and System by way of the nerve system (Spinal Cord and Spinal Nerves.) Every function in the body is under the control of the nervous system.
The brain is protected by the bony skull, and the spinal cord is protected by vertebral (vertebrae/ spinal) bones. The spinal nerves exit the spinal cord and travel out into the body above and below each vertebrae. These spinal nerves carry electrical messages to and from the brain and body.
When a spinal bone (vertebrae) mis-aligns from it's proper position, undue stress and tension are carried throughout the spine and nervous system. This event is called a Vertebral Subluxation Complex (Subluxation). Almost immediately a degenerative process called Subluxation Degeneration starts. This process often takes decades to be noticed by the individual.
According to recent scientific journals it only takes "10 mm pressure (the weight of a dime, or the amount of pressure on the back of your hand to realize the sensation is there) to cause a 40% shutdown of the nervous system." What this implies is catastrophic ... the nervous system is functioning at only one-half effectiveness. This means that pressure on a nerve going to your:
stomach does not function correctly (signs and symptoms in time may include ulcers, heartburn, indigestion, improper digestion, etc.)
pancreas does not function correctly (signs and symptoms in time may include abnormal blood sugar regulation via improper insulin production, etc.)
heart does not function correctly (signs and symptoms in time may include irregular heartbeats, abnormal blood and oxygen supply, etc.)
gall bladder does not function correctly (signs and symptoms in time may include gall stones, abnormal digestion of fats and foods, etc.)
sex organs (ovaries & testes) does not function correctly (signs and symptoms in time may include infertility, abnormal hormone cycles, etc.)
colon does not function correctly (signs and symptoms in time may include colitis, spastic bowel, gas, etc.)
immune system does not function correctly (signs and symptoms in time may include frequent colds, flues, allergies, cancer, etc.)
Because the nervous system is VITAL to your existence and quality of life, YOU should be concerned with how effective your nervous system is functioning.
Pain is NOT a good indicator of true health, as it is often the LAST sign to show up in a dis-ease process; much like pain during a heart attack, gall bladder attack, ulcer, colitis, cancer. These events just don't happen ... their existence is a result of a process.
Chiropractors are trained in the analysis and correction of the Vertebral Subluxation Process to maximize your nervous system potential and allow YOU to be as healthy as possible.
HEALTH comes from within ... It does not come from a bottle.
