Most people think of chiropractors as “Bone” doctors.  But we really are “Nerve” doctors.   Your brain the nervous system control everything in the body.  The brain is like a supercomputer and spinal cord and nerves are like the wires of the internet.  Anytime there is any sort of interference on the nervous system,  you can have decreased health. Chiropractors “push” on the bones of the spine and muscles to  relieve nerve pressure.

At the bottom of your skull there is a hole about the size of silver dollar, where spinal cord goes out to  the body. If you have any pinching of the nerves, that will choke off the nerve supply and cause whatever is at the end of the nerves to malfunction. Relieving pressure on the nervous system can help improve health and reduce pain.  This is the core of chiropractic care.  Making adjustments helps normalize the pressure on the many nerves in the body.  In Integrative Chiropractic care we also with other parts of the body  for not only for pain relief , but also to restore overall health.

 

Scientific research studies have found that people getting regular chiropractic adjustments have fewer visits to hospital and medical doctor visits.  They have fewer days of missed work.  Athletes report greater agility, speed, balance, and power.  Adjusts can lower blood pressure and improve heart rate variability.  Greater lung function in both asymptomatic and asthmatic patients was found.   Several studies have found that adjustments improve immune function.  Other studies have found chiropractic care can reduce IBS and digestive symptoms.  Pregnant women who get regular adjustments have easier deliveries.  Chiropractic has been proven to reduce colic. And there are many other studies.

 

While chiropractic isn’t the cure for every disease, it certainly helps prevent many problems and restore health in many cases.  AND that is just from the adjustment.  I also perform cranio-sacral technique,  laser and electro-acupuncture, visceral manipulation, Neuro-emotional technique, muscle and soft tissue techniques that further help relieve pain and  restore body function.  And to complete all the puzzle pieces of health you add functional medicine and nutrition.  Many health problems can be restored naturally.

Keep your nervous healthy and keep yourself healthy.
