What is Chiropractic?
The Science - Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that the nervous system, and brain and spinal cord, control the function of every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. Your body is much like the Internet: your brain is the computer, your spinal cord is the information highway, your spinal vertebrae composed of nerves, arteries and veins are the links to your organs, such as the heart, lungs, intestines, and reproductive organs. The disruption of these tissues, organs and 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 holistic wellness.
The Art - Our doctors master the adjusting “art” of chiropractic, which includes a comprehensive evaluation, a review of health history, an arrival at a clear diagnosis and a recommended specific treatment plan customized for each patient. This includes specific spinal adjustments. Adjustment includes hundreds of ways and techniques of directed and controlled pressure to restore spinal segments to a more normal position and range of motion. Adjustment aids in increased flexibility, increased immunological function and increased life energy. Chiropractic is truly an art.
The Philosophy - Chiropractic philosophy recognizes that the power that energizes the body can heal the body—as long as there is no interference. The doctor does not heal you; he is 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.
