What is Chiropractic? |
In the field of Chiropractic, the avenue of approach is the spine. The spine houses and protects the cord, the switchboard of the nervous system through which nerve fibers pass from the brain to different parts of the body. For every effect there must have been a cause. If a person is ill, then the condition of pain, regardless of the name applied to it, is an effect for which there must have been a cause. The nerves leave the spinal cord through openings between movable bones called vertebrae. When vertebrae through injury or posture problems become dysfunctional they interfere with the normal function of these nerves. This joint dysfunction causes pain and malfunction of the nervous system and is call a subluxation. The objective of Chiropractic care is to determine through x-ray films and a thorough examination, the degree of the vertebral subluxations complex. Proper adjustments are given to reduce these subluxations and thus reduce the cause of pain and malfunction. |
