Chiropractic Facilitates Health and Wellness
Chiropractic promotes proper nervous system function by manipulation of the joints of your body (spine and extremities) using gentle force applied with the chiropractor’s hands. From a chiropractic perspective, much of the discomfort, illness and disease a person experiences can be traced back to the body’s inability to adapt to its existing environment, from stress, tension, and anxiety to overexertion, fatigue, accidents, and falls.
These additional stresses on your body may cause the displacement, inflammation, or injury of the spine and/or other parts of the musculoskeletal system (such as “muscle guarding”), leading to the irritation of the nerves they’re connected to, in turn causing pain, disease, and other physiological and psychological responses.
Chiropractic is Based on Sensible Scientific Principles
Today, chiropractic ranks as the third largest health care profession and is the most widely used drug-free healthcare system in the world. For good reason; it is based on the sensible scientific principle that all of the functions of the body are interconnected and therefore that the healing process involves the entire body.
Chiropractic operates under certain key understandings, most pertinently:
- that a healthy nervous system, and most particularly a healthy spine, are instrumental to the overall health of the entire body
- that when all the body’s systems are functioning in harmonious balance (known as “homeostasis”), the body is vastly capable of effecting its own rapid healing and maintaining sustained wellness.
- that in combination with a diligent regimen of proper nutrition, fitness, and other healthy lifestyle choices, the healing effected by a chiropractic adjustment can be permanent.
