Chiropractic Care:
Chiropractic is known for great results from problems such as neck pain, back pain, and headaches but there is more to it than that! Chiropractors are essentially doctors of the nervous system. The spine is what protects the nervous system and the nervous system is how the brain communicates with every cell, tissue, and organ in the body. If the spine is out of alignment instead of protecting the nerves it can actually irritate them and decrease their function. By decreasing the nerves function you decrease the brains ability to speak with the rest of the body. In other words by having 2 or more bones in the spine misaligned (called a “subluxation”) you actually decrease the function of your body and your ability to heal naturally. Chiropractors are the only professionals trained to find these misalignments and use gentle, pain free techniques to remove them so you can function at 100%. Removing these subluxations allow your body to heal itself which means you can gain relief from many conditions.
