Chiropractic helps to remove postural imbalances and structural misalignments that can accumulate in our bodies over time. Chiropractic works by restoring your own inborn innate ability to be healthy. For your body to remain healthy, your nervous system must function well. For your nervous system to function well it must be free of interference. By restoring spinal function with Chiropractic adjustments, nerve interference by misaligned vertebrae is removed, thus allowing optimal nervous system function and improved health.

Seeing a Chiropractor is not only for back pain and neck pain. Chiropractic care is an excellent way to keep your body functioning at its peak performance. Chiropractors are trained to detect and adjust subluxated vertebrae that are interfering with the optimal nerve flow from the brain to the body. Chiropractic care has been known to help a wide range of conditions from asthma, headaches, fibromyalgia to diabetes. Regular chiropractic care can also prevent all kind of health challenges and help maintain optimal physical, mental and emotional health. I like to say it will keep you well adjusted.

When a vertebrae becomes misaligned or moves out of its normal position, this is referred to in the chiropractic profession as a vertebral subluxation. Subluxations can be caused by a wide range of physical, mental, and chemical stresses ranging from a minor slip or bump to a car accident, or job or financial stress or even from eating or drinking toxic substances. When a vertebrae is subluxated, it begins to put pressure on nerves and causes dis-ease of the areas where these nerves control. This pressure comes with a price.

Adjustments, or manipulation as they’re sometimes referred to is the small but specific movement of vertebrae in the spine. The objective of this movement is to realign vertebrae that have moved out of place for a number of reasons ranging from normal daily activities to trauma such as a car accident.

When these vertebrae are out of place, it has an overall systemic effect because it affects our control system which is our central nervous system. With proper alignment the nerves system is free to flow and control the proper function, healing and regenerating of your body.

An adjustment is a specific hands on movement performed by the chiropractor to improve the alignment and movement of a joint. This happens with a quick and specific force that will release pressure from the joint and is often followed by immediate relief. In some cases the areas may need a series of adjustments to get the pressure to dissipate out of the area affected and it may be stirred up before it gets much better. You may hear a noise that sounds like you’re cracking your knuckles referred to as a joint cavitation. It is the release of gases such as oxygen and nitrogen from the joint. These adjustments are safe and effective for restoring nerve flow and allow the innate healing potential of each patient. Many studies show that chiropractic is effective and safe way to improve your overall health.
