Control the Body with Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care relies on the fact that the nervous system is the master controller of the human body. The human body can heal itself when the brain within the nervous system communicates with the injured organs or tissues. It corrects problems by advising the injured areas to build new tissue.  However, this response can only happen if there is no interruption or interference in the flow of nerve impulses to the injured areas.  If there is an interruption or interference, the injured area cannot receive the message from the brain. You can control the body and the nervous system with chiropractic care.

How do Subluxations Control the Body?

A subluxation is an interruption in this flow of nerve impulses, caused by a misalignment of the spine due to injury, mistreatment, or improper care. These nerve impulses travel close to three hundred miles an hour. Tension in the body as the result of physical, emotional, or chemical stresses causes subluxations. These stresses are all stored the same way, one treated no different than the other.

When a subluxation lasts for a while, various symptoms occur within the patient. Symptoms depend on which part of the body is affected.  The energy in nerve impulses travels from the brain, down the spinal cord, dispersing through the vertebrae to all areas of the body.

Subluxation Symptoms

A subluxation can occur anywhere in the body that the nerves are located.  Sometimes patients experience pain, tingling, or numbness. Other times the patient appears to be pain-free but claims to tire quickly, be very susceptible to colds, or simply exhibits poor posture.

Common symptoms experienced when a subluxation is present include:

  • low energy
  • excessive fatigue
  • sciatica
  • fibromyalgia
  • indigestion and heartburn
  • neck or shoulder pain
  • back or knee pain
  • vertigo
  • decreased joint mobility
  • headaches, and more

Treating Subluxations

Chiropractors treat patients by correcting these subluxations or misalignments in the spine with gentle adjustments of the spine.  Results of chiropractic care are usually felt quickly and last longer, often permanently. Prescription or over-the-counter medication only provides temporary relief. These medications can also cause negative side effects, sometimes worse than the original injury or complaint.

Chiropractic Care Can Control the Body to Optimize Health

Good health should not relate to the absence of negative symptoms, but should instead be considered a state of physical, emotional, and mental well-being.  Chiropractors treat patients by recognizing the lifestyle changes necessary to improve overall better health, recommending these changes to provide clients with individual health goals.  They will also provide support, motivation, and inspiration on an ongoing basis.
