What is Chiropractic?
We all want to be healthy, right? Of course we all want our loved ones to be healthy! What is health, really? How do you know if your healthy?
Most people say they're healthy if they feel good. Don't you know people who were feeling pretty good and then a short time later were diagnosed with some disease or worse?
Dorland's Medical Dictionary states...
"Health: A condition of mind and body where all parts are functioning normally."
"Disease: The absence of Health."
If health equals normal function, what controls all function in your body? Your nerve system. You were created to be a self-healing, self-regulating, amazing person!
Think about this, for your heart to beat, for your lungs to breathe, for your body to digest food (good food or bad), for your body temperature to stay near 37 degrees Celsius (98.6*F), for a cut to heal on your arm, information must come from your brain (the Super Computer) and travel along the nerve system to the different parts of your body.
If the nerves to your thumb were cut, you would not be able to use your thumb. Even if you really wanted to! If the nerves to your heart were cut, your heart would stop.
Most of the nerves in your body travel through your spinal cord (your bodies Life Line!). As long as your spine is in it's normal, healthy position information can travel from your brain to the rest of your body and back to your brain easily.
If your spine shifts out of proper alignment the bones of your spine (vertebrae) will cause a physical pressure on your nerves. If there is pressure on your nerves the information coming from your brain will be blocked leading to less function = less health.
Through a chiropractic assessment abnormal spine alignment can be identified. If identified, very gentle chiropractic procedures can be used to restore proper alignment. Once restored, information can again easily flow over your nerves from your brain to your body, restoring normal function and restoring Health!
