What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a non-invasive, wholistic method of diagnosing, treating and preventing disorders of the musculo-skeletal and nervous systems. The word "chiropractic" originates from the Greek translation meaning "done by hand". This concept of using one's hands is at the core of the chiropractor approach.
Chiropractors are trained to identify the site of faulty joint movement and to correct it by performing chiropractic spinal adjustment/manipulations. Combining with other non-invasive treatment methods, we aim at supporting the body's natural ability to heal. Coupled with advice on proper exercises, diet and ergonomics, chiropractors assist patients in attaining optimal health without the use of drugs or surgery.
Correcting Body's Structure to Improve Function
Your nerves are important because they carry messages to and from your brain, driving each and every function in your body. Your spinal cord, which is made up of nerve bundles, is housed and protected by a series of segmented bones, known as your spinal vertebrae. Your nerves branch in and out of each segment, allowing messages to be carried to and from your entire body.
In order for your spine to function properly, the movement of some 30 vertebral bones and close to 100 inter-connecting joints must be synchronized.
With so many moving parts, it’s not surprising that nerves often become impaired or injured when the movement of an individual bone segment becomes restricted. Misalignment of the spine can occur when there is muscle imbalance, injury to the area, or degenerative changes.
Because chiropractic doctors focus on the structure and function of the spine, they are able to diagnose, treat and prevent musculo-skeletal disorders that can compromise your nerves.
