What
is Chiropractic?
In the over one hundred years of its development,
Chiropractic science has grown to major stature in
the field of the healing arts and has reached millions
of people. The modern Chiropractor works both directly
and indirectly with the nervous system. Every function
of the body is under the control of this system. Every
organ, tissue, and cell is controlled by nerve impulses
traveling from the brain to all parts of the body.
Nerves make possible all movement. Nerves transmit
all sensations to the brain. Nerves make possible
all sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. Nerves
maintain balance and keep the body temperature at
98.6. Nerves make it possible to swallow. Nerves make
the bowels move. Nerves control the liver, lungs,
spleen, pancreas, gall bladder, and kidneys. In fact,
the nervous system is the master system which controls
all other systems of the body, including: the glandular,
reproductive, digestive, eliminative, respiratory,
and circulatory.
Every science of healing has what is known as an avenue
of approach. For example, in the field of medicine,
a hypodermic needle injects drugs through the skin;
a pill is swallowed and goes into the stomach. They
are the avenues through which the drugs gain access
to the body.
In the field of Chiropractic, the avenue of approach
is the spine. The spine houses and protects the spinal
cord, the switchboard of the nervous system through
which nerve fibers pass from the brain to different
parts of the body. For every effect there must have
been a cause. If a person is ill, then the condition
of pain, regardless of the name applied to it, is
an effect for which there must have been a cause.
The nerves leave the spinal cord through openings
between movable spinal bones called vertebrae. When
vertebrae through injury or posture problems become
dysfunctional they interfere with the normal function
of these nerves. This joint dysfunction causes pain
and malfunction of the nervous system and is called
a subluxation.
The objective of Chiropractic care is to determine,
through x-ray films and a thorough examination, the
degree of the vertebral subluxation complex. Proper
adjustments are given to reduce these subluxations
and thus reduce the cause of pain and malfunction.
It has been said that Chiropractic care can often
add life to years and years to life.
