What Does A Chiropractors Do?

Chiropractors Adjust Subluxations:
Subluxations come from Stress. Stress can be Physical, Chemical or Emotional in nature. Subluxations are a complex that develops when we become overstressed and a bone (in our spines or elsewhere) becomes misaligned. What follows is a period of Muscular Spasm, Affected Motion, Irritation, Inflammation, and Nerve Pressure which usually results in some form of Pain, Numbness, Tingling, or some other unpleasant symptom.

Getting Adjusted Feels Good: When our spines are aligned, we keep pressure of our Discs, Ligaments, Vessels, Nerves, and Muscles.

Getting Adjusted Helps us Function Better: When Subluxations place pressure on nerves it literally affects the communication between our Brain and our Body! The nerves that exit our spinal cord carry all the information that our brain receives, and all the messages that our brain sends to every part of us! Subluxations can limit these nerves capacity to carry information by up to 80%! Do you think your Immune System can keep you healthy if it's only receiving 20% of the information that your brain is sending to it?

Posture & Biomechanics: When our spines are well aligned, we can move evenly, and distribute our body weight properly. This means more motion and less wear and tear. When we move we pump nutrient & oxygen rich blood throughout our bodies, and remaining well aligned leads to less degenerative disc changes, arthritic changes, and a greater quality of LIFE!
