Chiropractic Care By Our Pain Specialists Can Help

More details about the importance of chiropractic care:

 

If a body is functioning normally, then it has the ability to repair from injury and even prevent disease. Whereas conventional medicine seeks to attack disease and wage war on viruses, bacteria and often the cells of the body itself, the practice of chiropractic seeks to restore balance and function to the body, which is fully equipped to destroy viruses, bacteria and even cancer cells, with no collateral damage.

 

The ability of the body to heal and prevent disease is largely dependent on its ability to function as it was designed. However, damage to the structure of the body will affect its ability to function. If an organ is permanently damaged through injury or surgery, it will no longer function in the manner it was meant to.

 

Some parts of the body are more important to your overall health than others. And when these parts are damaged or interfered with, serious health problems can result. Chiropractors focus primarily on damage to the spine.

 

The structure of the spine encases and protects the spinal cord, which is a vital portion of the nervous system. The nervous system is like a communication system that connects the brain with every organ and cell in the body. By relaying important information to and from the brain, the nervous system keeps the body functioning properly. This is necessary for proper health to exist.

 

However, when the bones of the spine are mis-aligned, due to injury, poor posture, or other reasons, the nerves can become stretched or compressed, preventing them from functioning properly. This mis-alignment is referred to as a “subluxation” which, in essence means “less than a luxation (dislocation).”

 

When spinal mis-alignments prevent messages from being transmitted properly through the nerves, organs and tissues no longer function properly. They can begin to function at too low or too high a level and this imbalance can produce health problems.

 

As an example, if the nerve impulses to your pancreas (which produces insulin to decrease blood sugar) are interfered with, the pancreas can become over-active, resulting in hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), or it can become under-active, resulting in diabetes (high blood sugar). This is how the spine and nervous system affect your health.

 

The chiropractor’s job is to locate the area where your spine is mis-aligned and correct its structure by using a chiropractic adjustment, which is normally a gentle manipulation, or repositioning, of the vertebra (spinal bone) to relieve the pressure, tension or interference on the nerve. Once the chiropractor has corrected the subluxation, the nerve signals can once again travel freely and restore communication and balance to the part of the body they control.

 

As a result of the fact that the nervous system controls the entire body, and the fact that chiropractic can restore normal function to the nervous system, it follows that chiropractic care can influence the health of any part of the body and can therefore influence any health condition.
