What is Chiropractic?

This question is asked often by those who are looking for alternatives to the medical practices of drugs and surgery. In the past if you asked a medical doctor about chiropractic, the response may have not been so positive. However, today many medical doctors not only refer their patients to chiropractic offices, but they choose this safe and natural care for themselves and their families.

Chiropractic research and education has come a long way. The time it takes to get this degree is the same as a medical doctor and many chiropractors are well versed with the sciences including anatomy, physiology and nutrition.

Studies have shown that in many cases chiropractic is beneficial and typically more effective than drugs or surgery. It has also shown that chiropractic care is one of the safest and healthcare treatments available.

Chiropractic Defined in a Nutshell

1. Your body is self-regulating, self-maintaining and a self-restoring organism.

1.  Your brain and spinal cord, “the central nervous system,” controls, communicates to and coordinates every organ, tissue and cell of your body
2. Anything that interferes with the communication such as bio mechanical postural misalignment causing nerve interference may lead to certain symptoms such as headaches, neck pain, and back pain.
3. Anything that removes this interference, such as a chiropractic adjustment, restores proper communication and allows the body to function efficiently and heal itself.

So a chiropractor is a doctor that can locate the bio-mechanical stress on the spine and remove nerve pressure through the use of specific adjustment techniques.
