How does it work?

Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your body is an inately self-regulating, self-healing organism, and is controlled by your brain, spinal cord and nerves of your body. When the vertebrae, which protect your spinal cord and spinal nerves, get misaligned or your joints lose their normal motion, nerves can be irritated or pinched and, as a result of that, malfunction of the muscles, tissues and organs throughout your body can occur.

The main causes of joint dysfunction are mechanical, chemical, and mental. Mechanical causes are referred to as micro or macro trauma.

Micro trauma can also be called repetitive stress injury. Sitting with poor posture at a desk and typing all day can cause problems such as carpal tunnel or neck, upper back, or low back pain.

Macro trauma refers to pain due to trauma to the body, such as a fall, a break, or a car crash. Both forms of mechanical causes of joint dysfunction can benefit immensely from chiropractic care.

Another cause of joint dysfunction is due to the chemical effects on the joint function and the body as a whole. Smoking, heavy drinking, and poor diet can create chemical imbalances in your body.

Chiropractic helps to remove postural imbalances and structural misalignments that can occur suddenly or accumulate in our bodies over time. Chiropractic works by restoring your own inborn ability to be healthy. For your body to remain healthy, your nervous system must function well. For your nervous system to function well it must be free of interference. By restoring spinal function with Chiropractic adjustments, nerve interference by misaligned vertebrae is removed, thus allowing optimal nervous system function and improved health.
