What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a Science, Philosophy and Art
Science:
The CNS (Brain and Spinal Cord) and PNS (Peripheral Nerves) work together to maintain and regulate all other systems of the body. The spinal column protects the CNS by its proper curvature and movements. When any part of the spine isn’t moving correctly, the bidirectional information between Brain and body, through the CNS and PNS, is interfered with resulting in inadequate transmission/information. Following this is various signs & symptoms, dysfunction, pain, disease etc.
Philosophy:
The power/intelligence that created the body consisting of 75 trillion cells from just 2 cells during gestation/pregnancy does not leave the body upon delivery or ever. It remains the intelligence that coordinates, regulates and heals throughout life. It accomplishes this through Brain/Body connection which is restored by the ADJUSTMENT.
Art:
There are several Adjustment techniques within Chiropractic to correct curvature and motion which removes interference of communication b/t Brain and Body. I learned several techniques in which I may choose to use multiple together or one specific technique and protocol to accomplish my goals. Every Chiropractor’s Art is different. I may also incorporate other therapies into your care to accomplish goals all of which are case dependent and additions to the foundation of the ADJUSTMENT.What truly differentiates doctors of chiropractic from any other healthcare professionals is the fact that chiropractors are the only professionals who are trained to diagnose and treat what are called spinal subluxations. The word “subluxation” comes from the Latin words meaning “somewhat or slight" (sub), “to dislocate” (luxate) and "sub-lux-ation" Less Light Expression. So the term ‘vertebral subluxation’ literally means a slight dislocation or misalignment of the bones in the spine that cause less energy flow.
