What is Chiropractic? |
In the over one hundred years of its development, Chiropractic science has grown to major stature in the field of the healing arts and has reached millions of people. The modern Chiropractor works both directly and indirectly with the nervous system. Every function of the body is under the control of this system. Every organ, tissue, and cell is controlled by nerve impulses traveling from the brain to all parts of the body. Nerves transmit all sensation to the brain. Nerves make possible all sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing. Nerves maintain balance and keep the body temperature at 98.6. Nerves make possible to swallow. Nerves make bowels move. Nerves control the liver, lungs, spleen, pancreas, gall bladder, and kidneys. In fact, the nervous system in the master system which controls all other systems of the body, including: the glandular, reproductive, digestive, eliminative, respiratory and circulatory. Every science of healing has what is know as an avenue of approach. For example, in the field of medicine, a hypodermic needle injects drugs through the skin; a pill is swallowed and goes into the stomach. They are the avenues through which the drugs gain access to the body. |
