When
a sperm fertilized an ovum and you became you, a genetic blueprint
was created that determined the color of your eyes and millions
of other details about you.
To
control and organize your growth,the nervous system consisting of
your brain, spinal cord, and all the nerves of your body were the
first tissues formed.
Today your nervous system controls the unction of every cell, tissue,
organ, and system of your body.
Your brain is proteced by the skull.The vital communication pathway
of the spinal cord is vulnerable, covered by 24 moving bones of
the spinal column.
Pairs
of nerve roots branch off the spinal cord from between each spinal
joint to service the organs and tissues of your body.
Because of the way your spine is designed, improper motion or position
of spinal bones can irritate or choke delicate nerves interfering
with the function of the tissues they control. Chiropractors call
this a subluxation.
Trauma which may occur to the spine from the birth process is often
the first source of nervous system interference.
Car accidents, stress, poor diet, long periods of sitting, and many
other everyday activities can cause the bones that cover your spinal
cord to lose their normal position and motion.
Without a normal nerve supply, affected organs and tissues are more
susceptible to disease, often producing the symptoms of pain and
ill health.
Headaches and low back pain can often be traced back to spinal malfunction
and nervous system interference. Doctors of Chiropractic are specialists
in the detection, reduction, and prevention of nervous system interferences.
After completing their undergraduate education, today's Doctors
of Chropractic recieve an additional four years of post-graduate
college education. Before starting practice they pass a rigorius
National Board Examination and meet stringent licensing requirements.
To determine the cause of your health problem,chiropractic doctors
examine your spine to locate any areas causing nervous system interference.
You'll be shown the exact locations of any nervous system interference
and get specific recommendations for your chiropractic care program.
Your doctor will use carefully directed and controlled pressure
to return malfunctioning spinal bones to their proper motion and
position, reducing nerve interference.
This procedure is called a chiropractic adjustment. There are many
ways to adjust the spine. Adjustments feel good. Millions of chiropractic
adjustments are safely delivered every day.
In fact, chiropractic adjustments are safer than back surgery, muscle
relaxers, and even aspirin!
Even newborns receive chiropractic adjustments.
Regardless of the type of doctor you consult, doctors don't heal.
Only your body can heal itself.
The chiropractic approach to better health is to remove interferences
to your own inborn healing ability.
Chiropractic makes sense. It's scientific. It's provided by well-educated
doctors. It's safe. It's natural. It looks to correct the underlying
cause(s) of your problem. And most important - it works.
