Chiropractic
is the branch of medical care that focuses on the correlation between
good health and the structure of the nervous system (especially
the spine, and the nerves that extend from the spine to all sections
of the body). Chiropractic stresses the understanding that with
a normally functioning spine and a healthy lifestyle,
your body is better able to heal itself. The examination of
the spine to evaluate health conditions is what makes chiropractic
unique from other forms of health care.
But
why is the spine so important? Your spinal cord consists of
a complex network of nerves, whose life essential messages sustain
every aspect of your body. Tension along the spinal column resulting
from accidents, fatigue, or stress, hinders the body's nervous
system's ability to control feeling, movement, and function. Take,
for example, a few of the more immediate side effects of spinal
tension.

Bones
in your spine can misalign, irritating your nerves or causing muscles
to stretch unnaturaly. Joints throughout the vertebrate can lock
up and cause back and neck pains. |

The
supportive disks between vertebrate can swell abnormally, putting
pressure on the spinal cord. This can lead to numbness or pain in
all parts of the body. |

The
Spine's supportive muscles and ligaments can become stretched, torn,
or displaced, crippling vertebrate maneuverability.

Nerves
can become irritated or pinched, resulting in acute pain, numbness
or tingling sensations. |

Furthermore,
extensive studies on long term effects have shown a correlation
between "minor curvatures" of the spine and the failures
of internal organs. 96% of these diseased organs belonged to the
same nerve segments from the vertebrate out of line, and included
problems such as heart disease, lung disease, stomach disease, liver
disease, gallstone disease, kidney failure, and others. In short,
a healthy spine is essential.
Chiropractic methods look to address
such problems in the body by examining a patient's overall health
- including physical and mental wellbeing as well as lifestyle
habits, rather than through use of drugs, which merely mask symptoms.
The use of frequent spinal adjustments along with related treatments
relives pressure on nerves, restores alignment, improves mobility,
and relives pain.
