What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic doctors are licensed specialist in finding the location and correction of spinal misalignment. This spinal misalignment is called SUBLUXATION.
The spine is the central structure connecting your brain to the rest of your body. When the spine becomes misaligned this causes restriction in the spinal movement and causes stress on the surrounding discs. Untreated subluxations can cause calcium deposits and bone spurs. The surfaces of the subluxated vertebrae become rough and uneven and can cause the compressed discs to lose fluid and lose their cushion. The nerves also become irritated, but may not cause pain or other symptoms until after years of damage.
When a licensed chiropractic doctor conducts a spinal adjustment, it helps allow the spine to return to its proper curvature. Correcting the spinal curvature creates proper spacing between the vertebrae, allowing the proper nerve flow without interference. Proper nerve flow allows for the proper signals to be distributed throughout the body, improving overall health.
