Chiropractic Essentials

 

 

 

Chiropractic is an alternative, natural approach to a healthy life based on the following four facts:

1) The body is a self-healing, self-regulating organism

2) The nervous system is the controlling system of the body

3) Physical, chemical & emotional stress can cause vertebral subluxation to develop in the spine.

4) Subluxations prevent the normal function of the nervous system, therefore affecting human performance & health.

Chiropractic works to remove subluxations from the spine. This restores the normal, flow of messages through the nervous system. When these messages are able to flow freely from the brain to the body optimum health and life expression is experienced


What causes Subluxation?

Any stress the human body is unable to cope with, or adapt to, will cause a breakdown in the system. For example if too great a pressure is applied to your arm it will break. When the breaking point of your nervous system is reached subluxation of the spine occurs.

In 21st century human life there are three major stresses which are regularly applied to the body:

Physical Stress – e.g. trips, falls, car crashes, sports injuries, poor posture.

Chemical Stress – e.g. poor diet, smoking, drugs, alcohol, pollution.

Emotional Stress – e.g. work pressure, relationships, grief.
