Chiropractic is a health profession that eliminates subluxations in the musculoskeletal system structures, especially the spine, with special techniques applied by hand.
Chiropractors apply a controlled, sudden force to the spine using their hands or assistive devices. The primary goal is to correct misalignments (subluxations) in the musculoskeletal system, thereby reducing pain by relieving nerve compression and improving the body's ability to naturally heal itself.
Subluxation is a condition in which the physiological and biomechanical integrity and function of the brain and the rest of the body are altered. It is a dysfunction in a misaligned joint or segment that interferes with the flow of information between nerves, reducing or changing the information passing through nerve roots.
Vertebral subluxation reduces the body's ability to heal itself. This condition causes distress because it affects the ability of the nervous system to function normally. Subluxation can occur as a result of repeated physical stresses or a physical accident, but can often be the result of today's lifestyles: excessive stress, malnutrition, lack or excess of physical exercise.
The effects of subluxation include many common problems such as headache, jaw pain, chest pain, back pain, lack of concentration, sleep disorders, low immune system, and even problems in the knees and feet. Therefore, healthy A spine, along with a healthy nervous system, is crucial to maintaining the health of the entire body.
The chiropractor detects subluxations and makes specific adjustments to the joint without going beyond the physiological range of motion, often with certain adjustments made with his hands. Adjustment, It returns the spine to its original position, eliminates the friction that causes wear and degeneration of the joints, and restores neurological flow and vitality.
