The
Science:
Since its beginning, chiropractic has been based on the scientific fact that the
nervous system controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ, and system of your
body.
While the brain is protected by the skull, the spinal cord is more vulnerable, covered
by 24 moving vertebrae. When these bones lose their normal motion or position, they can
irritate the nervous system. This disrupts the function of the tissues or organs these
organs control, and is called the Vertebral Subluxation Complex.
Chiropractic is the science of locating these areas of spinal malfunction, the art of
correcting them, and the philosophy of things natural.

The Art:
After a thorough examination and a review of your health history, your
chiropractic doctor will recommend a specific care program. If yours is a chiropractic
case, this will include specific spinal adjustments.
The word adjustment describes hundreds of ways of using carefully directed
and controlled pressure to restore spinal bones to a more normal position and motion. When
spinal function is improved, nervous system function (health) can improve too.
After years of training, chiropractic doctors become experts at using just
the right amount of force in the right direction. This may require a quick movement or in
other instances a slow and constant pressure. Chiropractic is truly an art. |
The
Philosophy:
Besides the science and art, chiropractic has a philosophical aspect.
Chiropractic doctors recognize that regardless of the type of doctor you consult, doctors
dont heal, only the body can heal itself. So your chiropractic doctors main
purpose is to reduce interference to your inborn healing ability. |
