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.
