About Chiropractic

-- Chiropractic is a Science, Art, and Philosophy.--

:: The Science

"The Nervous System controls and coordinates all organs and structures of the human body.”
(Grey’s Anatomy, 29th Ed., page 4)

Nerve impulses travel from the brain, down the spinal cord, and through the spinal nerves to reach every cell in the body. When spinal bones become misaligned, the spinal nerves become “pinched” which creates interference in the communication process between brain cells and body cells, which leads to dis-ease and disease. This is termed a Vertebral Subluxation. Doctors of chiropractic are the only health care professionals trained to detect and correct vertebral subluxations.

:: The Art

Doctors of chiropractic remove nerve interference by giving specific adjustments to the spine and extremities. Doctors of chiropractic undergo years of training to know exactly when and where to deliver the adjustment. An adjustment is a thrust applied to a specific spinal bone in a specific direction. The adjustment can be accomplished by hand or instrument.

:: The Philosophy

Nature always knows what to do, unless it’s interfered with. This is what chiropractic does - REMOVE INTERFERENCE. If the nerve conducts LIFE from the brain to the cell, and it does, and this condition is interfered with by nerve pressure from the bones in the spine getting out of line, LIFE will be with-held from that part of the body. Example: (Cut the nerve to your tooth, and it will get black and die. Cut the nerve to your finger and it won’t function for it will die.) From this example, you must see that the nerve conducts LIFE, and if interfered with by the spinal bones, the tissues will die, or become dis-eased. Thus your symptoms are warnings, and pain is a signal for you to heed - there is interference with the nerves from the brain to the body, and to get well the interference must be corrected - so the intelligence within the body can take over, and heal the tissues from within.
