Chiropractic
is a safe and natural treatment method which allows the body to
ultimately heal itself. Chiropractic is the fastest growing natural
health care profession in the world. It was discovered by D.D. Palmer
in 1895 in Davenport, Iowa, U.S.A. D.C.'s (Doctors of Chiropractic)
specialize in locating and correcting a serious condition called
subluxation.
A subluxation is a misalignment of one or more of
the twenty four moveable bones (vertebrae) of the spine. They are
commonly caused by stresses and impacts to the body from poor posture,
poor sleeping habits, slips and falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports
impacts, strenuous exercise, work injuries, childhood falls, even the
birth process. Subluxations cause dangerous stress to the spinal cord
and the spinal nerves which exit the spine between the vertebrae. This
causes irritation to the nerves and interferes with their ability to
function properly. This nerve interference causes the body to lose its
ability to function optimally and ill health eventually results. Though
serious even in their early stages, subluxations are often not painful.
Chiropractors
find and remove subluxations with adjustments. By removing
subluxations, your body has the ability to heal itself and adapt to
various stresses. Adjustments can be done with the hands or with an
instrument and are comfortable, safe, and highly effective. People of
all ages can receive chiropractic care to stay healthy, including
infants and the elderly. Chiropractors have had years of training and
education to properly determine whether chiropractic care can benefit
you and your family.
