What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic, although many times misunderstood, is about helping you live a healthier and fuller life. While typically thought of as “bone doctors”, chiropractors actually focus on your nervous system and painlessly, manually adjust the vertebral column in order to effect your nervous system.
According to Gray’s Anatomy…
Your nervous system is the master system in your body and controls and coordinates all other systems such as respiratory, digestive, muscular and so forth. Your nervous system includes your brain, spinal cord, the spinal nerves that exit the vertebral column through openings on the sides of each vertebra, and all the peripheral nerves that branch off to serve your organs, tissues, blood vessels, muscles etcetera. Information from your environment, both external and internal, goes through your spine to get to the brain. In the same manner, information and decisions made in your brain go through the spine to effect certain outcomes. It is a two-way flow of information.
The Intention of the Chiropractic Adjustment…
Is to remove any disruptions or distortions of this energy flow that may be caused by slight vertebral misalignments that we call subluxations. Chiropractors are trained to locate these subluxations and then to remove them, thereby restoring the normal flow of nerve energy in terms of both quality and quantity. The idea is that if your master system, which is the nervous system, is healthy and functioning well, then your other systems under its control will
also function in a more optimal fashion.
also function in a more optimal fashion.
Chiropractic is Based On…
The belief that the same innate intelligence that can grow a single cell into a complex human being, made of billions of cells, can also heal the body if it is free of disturbance to the nervous system. For example, if the area of spine that supplies nerve flow to the stomach is subluxated then information going to the brain regarding that organ and its function, digestion, will be distorted and the brain will not be receiving accurate data on its condition. Likewise, decisions made in the brain and conveyed along the nervous pathways will be disrupted and the correct responses will be unable to be made. It is essentially the same scenario for all other organs, muscles, blood vessels and so forth. When a chiropractor removes this interference, then the nervous system functions more optimally and the body is able to heal itself via the two-way communication system.
The Philosophy of Chiropractic…
Is that health, not merely the absence of symptoms, comes from within the body, not from the outside. It is the
innate, or inborn intelligence of our bodies, that does the healing. It is not the drugs, the surgeries or the physician/chiropractor that does the healing, but the body itself. It is the job and the great honor of the chiropractor to remove subluxations so that the power that made the body may heal the body.
