What is chiropractic? Chiropractic is the largest licensed, non-medical healthcare profession in the world with approximately 60,000 doctors in the USA. Chiropractors are Doctors. They complete three to four years of undergraduate study and a four-year professional course. They require more anatomy, physiology and nutrition than a medical doctor. They specialize in using natural methods to safely remove the effects of stress on the spine and Nervous System. What is the Nervous System? It’s your Brain, Spinal Cord and Nerves. Your Brain is the Master Organ controlling every cell, tissue, organ, and system in you. Your Spinal Cord is the only connection your Brain has to your Body. Think of it as the “information super-highway” of your body. Your Nerves connect you together so all parts know what to do and when to do them. Right now your Heart is beating, kidneys are working, liver is functioning, brain chemicals are flowing and you are reading this without having to think about it. Your Nervous System is making it all happen. Can stress affect your Nervous System? Yes! Stress tightens your back muscles causing blockage to that special part of your Nervous System: The Spinal Cord. This means your Brain can’t get its messages to your Body. This affects all the systems (digestive, circulatory, immune, etc.) of your body, not just the muscles. How does Chiropractic work? Chiropractic restores Health by removing the back tension blocking your Spinal Cord with a safe, gentle treatment called an Adjustment. This treatment re-aligns your spinal joints, including all the muscles, ligaments, and tendons around the spine, to remove the blockage to your Nervous System. Then your body can heal. Can it really be that simple? Yes, it can, and is! Have you ever noticed that if you cut your finger it heals? You don’t have to take anything or do anything to make that happen. Life heals, it is as simple as that. Modern medicine will have you believe it can’t possibly be that simple and you need their dangerous drugs and surgery to heal you. But, common sense tells you that only your body knows how to heal. And, while medicine has become the leading cause of death in America (please see www.lef.org, “Death by Medicine”), Chiropractic continues to offer safe, effective, low cost care for all illness and injury. But chiropractic is just for back pain, right? Absolutely not! Your Nervous System controls everything in you, so if it is blocked, it can cause all sorts of health problems in you, not just your back pain. |
