What is
Chiropractic? |
|
C hiropractic is a
natural, drugless, non-surgical health care system that relies on the body's inherent recuperative abilities. The focus of Chiropractic care is on the Nervous System. When bones of the spine become misaligned or move out of their normal position, information flow from the brain to the body is distorted. Without the proper information the body cannot function to its fullest potential. Nerves may behave abnormally and cause pain or other problems.
Chiropractors perform spinal adjustments using
only their hands to correct interference to the nervous system, restoring the body's ability to control and coordinate its many functions, thus relieving symptoms and restoring health.
Chiropractic requires eight years of college study.

Is it safe?
|
|
YES, it uses safe and effective procedures. Chiropractic is licensed in 36
countries and chiropractors are found in 110 countries. Spinal adjustments are
performed on an excess of two million patients every day in this world.
The chiropractor will adjust the spine with as little force as possible and in
ways that are safe for the patient whether the patient is a week old baby or
someone in their 90's.

What is the 'click'?
|
|
As the jammed (locked up) joint is re-aligned, some of the gases in the joint's
lubrication turn into a gaseous state inside the joint producing a popping
sound. This increases mobility, relieves nerve irritation and allows muscles to
relax.
To the ears of a chiropractor, this popping is a most beautiful sound.
