Philosophy
Chiropractic also has a philosophical dimension recognizing that doctors don’t heal; only the body can heal itself. So your chiropractic doctor’s main purpose is to reduce interference to your inborn healing ability. Art
The art comes with the customized care program your chiropractic doctor recommends to correct areas of spinal malfunction. If yours is a chiropractic case, care will include specific spinal adjustments. An adjustment can be administered in hundreds of ways by using carefully directed and controlled pressure to restore spinal bones to a more normal position and motion. When spinal function is improved, nervous system function can improve, too. After years of training, chiropractic doctors become experts at judging what is needed and using just the right amount of force in the right direction, as a quick movement or a slow and constant pressure. Science
Since its inception, chiropractic has been based on the scientific fact that the nervous system controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. While the brain is protected by the skull, the spinal cord is more vulnerable, covered by 24 moving vertebrae. When these bones lose their normal motion or position, they can irritate the nervous system. This disrupts the function of the tissues or organs these nerves control and is called the Vertebral Subluxation Complex. Chiropractic begins with the science of locating these areas of spinal malfunction. Chiropractic is part science, art and philosophy |
