What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a form of natural healthcare with the focus on treatment without the use of drugs or medicines.

Chiropractors also have the qualifications and training to treat conditions such as allergies, asthma, digestive disorders and many other conditions as new research develops.

When should I see a Chiropractor?

Many people think they only need to see a chiropractor when they are suffering from back or neck pain, but the truth is that regular visits to a chiropractor are critical to maintaining sound health and fitness. Every day events such as improperly lifting of an object, sleeping in the wrong position or putting strain on the spine causing subluxation, which then leads to an unbalanced spine. Regular visits to a chiropractor can help keep your spine with its 24 moveable vertebrae properly aligned and healthy.

In addition, there are many other times when seeing your chiropractor is extremely beneficial to your overall health, including pregnant woman. Pregnant woman should definitely see a chiropractor during pregnancy to help relieve the stress on her body due to pregnancy and the additional weight of the growing baby.

Additionally, regular visits to your chiropractor will also assist to reduce the headaches that occur during pregnancy.

Bet you thought chiropractic treatments were just for adults? Absolutely not! It is actually suggested your new infant be checked by your chiropractor to see if there are any problems that might have occurred during gestation or birth. If problems are left uncorrected, there is a chance of vertebral subluxation. This would have a negative effect on the delicate spinal cord and nerves which control the muscles and organs.

How does Chiropractic work?

The chiropractic approach to better health is to locate and help remove interferences to your natural state of being healthy. Chiropractic works by restoring your body's own inborn ability to be healthy. When under the proper control of your nervous system all the cells, tissues and organs of your body are designed to resist disease and bad health.

A common location of interference to the nervous system is the 24 moving bones of the spinal column. A loss of normal motion or position of these bones can irritate or impair the function of the nervous system. This can disrupt the transmission of controlling nerve impulses.

With improved spinal function there is often improved nervous system function. Your chiropractor can help remove interferences that may be impairing normal health, since the primary focus of your care is improved nervous system function, chiropractic care can have a positive effect on many health conditions not normally thought of as "back problems."
