Chiropractic Care recognizes the function of
the human body is based on energy. This energy is
distributed from the brain to rest of the body through the
nervous system. In fact, the nervous system controls the
function of every cell in your body. Your nervous system
consists of your brain, spinal cord, and millions of nerves
fibers and receptors.
The primary role of the nervous system is to relay
information in the form of energy to the brain. Then, the
brain sends information back to the body through the nervous
system to adapt the body to its environment. It is a
feedback loop that is happening in your body right now in
response to temperature, visual stimuli, sounds, smells,
what you have eaten recently, body positions and many other
environmental stimuli. How successfully your nervous system
controls this process will determine your level of health.
Your brain is protected by the skull, and your spinal cord
by the 24 moving bones of the spine called vertebrae. Many
everyday activities can cause these bones to lose their
normal position or motion. This can result in interference
to the nervous system and effect how the body is
communicating with itself. Ultimately, this will result in
ill health. Chiropractic is a healing art, science and
philosophy that deals with the removal of interference to
the nervous system.
Interference to the nervous system can be caused by
structural problems such as arthritis or poor posture;
chemical interference such as improper diet or toxic
overload from drugs, sugar, cigarettes, alcohol; or mental
interference from stress, depression, lack of love and many
other destructive mental states. Chiropractic is not so much
concerned with the treatment of disease, although we often
help many conditions where other treatments have failed.
Chiropractic is about maximizing your health potential by
removing interference to the greatest healer that has ever
existed, the healer inside you.
