what is chiropractic?
Chiropractic care is
most commonly known for aiding with conditions such as low back pain, neck
pain, and headaches. Did you know chiropractic care can also aid with ear
infections, digestion issues, and can even stimulate the immune system?? This
is all because the nervous system controls every part of the body. The spinal
column houses the spinal cord, an integral part of the nervous system. Spinal
nerves originate from the spinal cord and serve as the communication pathway
between the brain and the rest of the body. Without a nervous system, the body
would be non-functional.
There are three categories that cause misalignment in the spine, referred to as the three T’s. These are trauma, toxins, and thoughts. Any or all of these events has the ability to cause misalignment in the spine, which ultimately negatively affects your health. Trauma could be from a car accident, sports injury, or repeated poor posture. Toxins are stressors related to the external environment, while thoughts are stressors related to the internal environment. Over time, repeated poor posture, dysfunctional movement patterns, and spinal misalignment place undue stress on joint structures. This can accelerate the degeneration process in the spine. By restoring normal motion to the spine and correcting muscle imbalances, pressure on spinal joints can be normalized which protects the spine from further compromise.
When the spine is misaligned it creates pressure on the spinal nerve roots exiting the spinal column. Impaired communication in the nervous system causes decreased functioning of organs and muscles which can lead to pathology. Correcting spinal misalignments relieves pressure on nerve roots, allowing for strong communication between the brain and the rest of the body. An aligned spine allows the nervous system to serve its purpose as the master control of the body. This maximizes your body’s capability to heal itself from the inside out, improves overall pain free range of motion and function of the spine, and improves daily life and athletic performance. This promotes vitality and improves quality of life. Our bodies are designed to adapt and heal as new challenges arise. Chiropractic care is a way to ensure our bodies have the highest capability to respond to these challenges.
