Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your body is a
self-regulating, self-healing organism. These important functions are controlled by
the brain, spinal cord, and all the nerves of the body.
The skull protects the delicate tissues of the brain. The moving bones of
the spine protect the vulnerable communication pathways of the spinal cord and nerve
roots.
If the nervous system is impaired, it can cause malfunction of the tissues and
organs through the body. Doctors call this the Vertebral Subluxation Complex.
Vertebral, meaning the bones of the spine. Subluxation, meaning less that a total
dislocation. And Complex, meaning consisting of more than one part.
Chiropractic is the science of locating offending spinal structures, the art of
reducing their impact to the nervous system, and philosophy of all things natural.
Chiropractic works by restoring your own inborn ability to be healthy.
When under the proper control of your nervous system, all the cells, tissues, and organs
of your body are designed to resist disease and ill health. The chiropractic
approach to better health is to locate and help remove interference to your natural state
of being healthy.
A common interference to the nervous system is the 24 moving bones of the spinal
column. A loss of normal motion or position of these bones can irritate or impair
the function of the nervous system. This can disrupt the transmission of controlling
nerve impulses.
With improved spinal function there is often improved nervous system function.
Your chiropractic doctor can help remove interference's that may be impairing
normal health.
Since the primary focus of your care is improved nervous system function,
chiropractic can have a positive effect on many health conditions not normally thought of
as "back" problems.
Helping restore proper spinal biomechanics and improved nervous system function
begins with a case history. This gives the doctor a background about your health,
such as surgeries, accidents, the onset of your condition, and other current health.
After reviewing your history and discussing your specific problem, a thorough
orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic examination is performed. X-rays may be
taken to uncover structural and functional problems associated with the spinal column.
These examinations help identify areas of spinal malfunction and resulting nervous
system deficit.
The doctor evaluates each patient's unique spinal problem and develops an
individual course of care. The resulting recommendations are based upon years of
training and experience.
Chiropractic has an excellent safety record. It is the result of a
conservative approach to health that avoids invasive procedures or addictive drugs.
A thorough case history and examination reveal areas of the spine that may be
causing nervous system malfunction. This information will be used to determine the
best course of care for each patient.
Chiropractic care is a natural approach to better health that is proven safe and
effective.
