The Science:
Chiropractic is based on the scientific
fact that the nervous system, your brain and spinal cord, controls the
function of every other system, cell, tissue and organ of your body.
Your body is much like the Internet: the brain is your computer, your
spinal cord is the information highway, your spinal vertebrae house the
nerves, arteries and veins, which are the links to your organs, such as
the heart, lungs, intestines and reproductive organs. The disruption of
the function of these tissues or organs and the nerve control is called
VSC or Vertebral Subluxation Complex. Chiropractic is the science of
finding these areas of spinal malfunction, the art of correcting them
and the philosophy of all things natural as they have been created.
The Art:
Our doctor masters the adjusting "art" of
chiropractic. This includes a comprehensive evaluation, a review of
health history, and arrival at a clear diagnosis and recommended
specific treatment plan, customized for each patient. This plan includes
specific spinal adjustments. Adjustment describes many hundreds of ways
and techniques of directed and controlled pressure to restore spinal
segments to a more normal position and range of motion, aiding in
increased flexibility, increased immunological function and increased
life energy. Chiropracic is truly an art.
The Philosophy:
Chiropractic
philosophy recognizes that the power that created the body can heal the
body - as long as there is no interference. The doctor does not heal
you. He or she serves as a co-facilitator with you, for your body to be
put in the correct environment to heal itself. The main purpose of the
chiropractor is to reduce interference to your inborn, innate healing
ability.
Chiropractic is the largest natural healing art in the
world. It is based on the premise that the body is a self healing
organism and that the nervous system is the master control system of the
body. Remember that the nervous system controls every function performed
by the body directly or indirectly. Therefore, ANY problem can be
improved with a better functioning nervous system.
Chiropractic helps
the nervous system function better by removing blockages that may be
preventing you from achieving a higher state of health. Who can benefit
