About Chiropractic

What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is based on universal and natural laws and principles.  Chiropractic was founded in 1895 with the fact that the human body is a self-healing, self-regulating organism.  The founder of chiropractic, Dr. D.D. Palmer stated, “The sole purpose of chiropractic is to reunite man the physical with man the spiritual.”  In other words the sole purpose of chiropractic is to reunite the matter that makes up a human being (and is left after death) with the force of life governing its animation via the nerve system during life.  We were created intelligently with the nerve system controlling and coordinating all the functions and sub-systems in the physical human body (immune, digestive, respiratory, circulatory, hormonal, reproductive, etc . . .).  The central nerve system is the master control center of our nerve system and is made up of our brain and spinal cord.  When there is interference with the functioning of the nerve system it most commonly occurs where the spinal cord becomes nerve roots and exit the spine like telephone wires sending vital messages to every cell, tissue and organ in our bodies.  So when a spine is misaligned, those messages are interfered with creating an alteration with the quantity or quality of the message being sent.  This can result in an array of symptoms and eventual conditions/ disease and furthermore this can happen entirely asymptomatically (without conscious pain).  Chiropractors assist in your body’s self-healing ability by correcting misalignments (aka vertebral subluxations).  By keeping your spine in line, it allows for a free flow in communication from your brain to your body and your body to your brain.  If left unattended, over time these misalignments can create enough tension on our nerve system, which can greatly interfere with our full expression of well being.

Optimum health is the result of an optimally functioning nerve system, without interference!  Call for a spinal check-up today.

Where did Chiropractic begin?

In 1895 Dr D.D Palmer performed a chiropractic adjustment on his deaf janitor, Harvey Lillard. Following this adjustment the janitors hearing was restored. Dr Palmer thought he had miraculously discovered a cure for deafness. He later discovered that other health problems responded to chiropractic care also. Problems such as colic in babies, menstrual pain, sciatica, migraine headaches, epilepsy and digestive problems. As the function of the nervous system was restored, so to was the individual’s health.

Why is chiropractic able to help so many people with so many different ailments?

The nerve system which is housed and protected by the spine is the direct communication channel from the brain, controlling all our functions and organs, so it stands to reason that pain or discomfort originating from the spine can interfere with our overall well being and normal function.

The Chiropractic Adjustment

The Chiropractic Adjustment is performed to correct these subluxations, which will help the healing process so that once again your body can return to its natural state and function to its fullest potential.

Complete health care should include a regular spinal checkup.
