What is Chiropractic? |

What is vertebral subluxation?
- Subluxation: a misaligned spinal bone (vertebrae) which causes compression, tension, irritation, and damage to the Central nerve System. [The Central Nerve System is made up of the Brain, Spinal Cord and Spinal Nerves. The Central Nerve System totally controls all function and healing in the human body.]
- Subluxation:
causes interference of the Central Nerve System.
- Subluxation:
causes the organs and muscles of the body to malfunction and heal poorly due to the interference they create in the Central Nerve System.
|
| Subuxations are caused by a lifetime of stress and trauma. Slips, falls, auto accidents, sports injuries, poor posture, bad sleeping habits, stress at work, or even childhood mishaps and the birth process itself can cause the spinal cord to move out of it's normal position. |
| The Central Nerve System totally controls all function and healing in the body. The most common and likely way to interfere with the Central Nerve System is any abnormal position of the spine or SUBLUXATION (misalignment). |
| Symptoms are the body's warning signs that something has been mal-functioning for some time and has needed attention. In most cases, Subluxation is present without any symptom or warning. Usually, Subluxation has existed for many years by the time a symptom arrives. Vertebral subluxation is commonly referred to as the "Silent Killer", because there are usually no early warning symptoms. |
| When the vertebrae are subluxated, the nerve passageway is blocked, and the life energy flowing through the nerve can be choked off. This interferes with your body's innate healing ability and lowers your resistance. If this condition is not corrected, your organs and glands cannot function properly and this can create abnormal body chemistry, disease, and accelerated deterioration - even early death! |
Would you go to a Chiropractor if you didn't have back pain? |
| Absolutely yes! One of the most common misconceptions is that chiropractors are "back doctors". That opinion is commonly fueled not only by the lay public, but by chiropractors who fail to educate their patients about the damaging effects of subluxation. Essentially as more people understand how chiropractic works by enhancing central nervous system function, and why it works, which is to decrease crippling stress to the nervous system by reducing subluxation using specific chiropractic adjustments, then more people will realize the life-changing improvements in their overall health. Now, that's a quantum leap in realizing your health potential! |
Does your Back really get "cracked"? |
| The use of proper terminology in all professions is a must in order to understand the dynamics of healing. Periodically during a chiropractic adjustment a small popping sound may be heard, which sounds similar to that produced by "popping" a knuckle. The source of this sound is actually a small pocket of nitrogenous gas being released when pressure comes off the joint space. The joint space is bathed in fluid and the gas bubble is released from there. |
| All that being said, noise is really a non-issue. The powerful component is that at the moment of an adjustment, there is a dynamic release of nerve stress off the spinal cord, releasing positive healing chemicals and creating an optimal environment for healing throughout your body. |
Does Chiropractic help? |
| This is why I believe chiropractic is the salvation of the healing world: The World Health Organization has already proven year in and year out that traditional medical disease treatment is not working. We as a planet, particularly in the U.S.A., are getting sicker every year. More and more people are taking heavier dosages of medication. Over 106,000 people died from properly prescribed drugs last year alone. We are being handed a bill of goods through propaganda that some magic pill is going to solve our problems. |
| As creatures of habit we are captivated by all the glossy drug commercials that bombard our TV screens, newspapers, and radios- we are as sheep being led to slaughter. If we do not wise up and start taking responsibility for our health, this will be a morbid era in the history of our world. God has given our bodies an amazing ability to heal. Does chiropractic help? More than we will ever realize! Get a chiropractic checkup today and optimize your health. |
What will happen if I stop getting regular adjustments? |
| We all have good habits and bad habits. The key is to recognize which bad habits you have and eliminate them immediately. In regard to health, good and bad habits may mean life or death! If a person decides to get his spine checked on a regular basis, he will have a better quality of life. If a person smokes tobacco, he may die before his time. Some people don't even realize they have a death wish. Even a seemingly intelligent people, they abuse their bodies and minds using drugs (legal and/or illegal), consuming quantities of alcohol, and engaging in destructive behavior. |
| If I asked someone to stop brushing his teeth for days, let alone months, he would he would think that was absurd, because by not brushing regularly his teeth would eventually rot. Well, in the same vein, if people that have spinal subluxations, which create posture imbalance, allow the subluxations to linger without keeping their corrections maintained, the spine will go back to rotting (decaying). Anyone who started getting his spine corrected would only be making an incredibly wise health investment in keeping those corrections maintained. You can replace a decaying tooth: you can't replace a decaying spine and nervous system! |
Why are X-rays taken in our office? |
| X-rays are used to confirm what is originally found on the posture-specific exam. Once spinal shifts are detected, a more specific adjustment can be placed onto the spine thereby maximizing correction. Our goal in the office is primarily safety, and x-rays help in getting the maximum amount of correction with the least amount of force, and in the shortest amount of time. |
| X-rays will also help us to know not only where to adjust, but where not to adjust. Suppose someone has a bone tumor or abnormal growth on the-these would be areas that could be detrimental to adjust. Overall the more tools we have to detect the problem, the more accurate our analysis, and the best chance the patient has of experiencing optimal health and healing. We commit to each of you to continue to sharpen our skills, and to provide the highest quality chiropractic care on the planet! |
