Chiropractic Care

Question: What is a vertebral subluxation?
Answer: A vertebral subluxation occurs when one or more vertebrae in the spine become misaligned, compressing spinal nerves and disrupting optimal nerve function. Chiropractors focus on correcting these misalignments to restore proper nerve function which in turn strengthens your body's immune system.

Question: How has the concept of vertebral subluxation been historically significant?
Answer: The concept of subluxation has a long history, dating back to Hippocrates, the "Father of Medicine." The term refers to a dislocation or displacement. It became a key part of chiropractic education after D.D. Palmer, the founder of chiropractic, theorized that even slight misalignment of a vertebra could place pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.

Question: Why is chiropractic care focused on more than just symptom relief?

Answer: Chiropractic care goes beyond just symptom relief by offering vital, preventative, and non-invasive health care through regular checks and adjustments. Chiropractors have expert knowledge in vertebral subluxation and focus on identifying, analyzing, and correcting these spinal misalignments.

Chiropractors use adjustments to restore joint function and support the nervous system.

They help patients maintain optimal health while avoiding unnecessary drugs or surgery.

How does a Subluxation Interferes with Optimal Health?

A subluxation interrupts the proper operation of the body’s nerve system, compromising the maintenance of optimal health. The human body consists of several interrelated systems, functioning with an innate intelligence to adapt to changes in our internal environment and the world around us. Every moment, impulses are delivered between the brain and the body’s 100 trillion cells to coordinate every movement and function. Impulses send this intricate information through the nerve connections in our spine. When vertebrae become subluxated because of any number of factors, interference results in the body’s communication process, negatively affecting functions and performance.

Would you like to learn more about the history of chiropractic? 

“Chiropractors have found in every disease that is supposed to be contagious, a cause in the spine,” wrote B.J. Palmer, the famous developer of chiropractic, in 1909. “In the spinal column, we will find a subluxation that corresponds to every type of disease.”
 
As chiropractic science is concerned with preserving and restoring health, it focuses particular attention on subluxations of the tiny bones of the spine. A vertebral subluxation happens when one or more of bones of the spine are out of position and compress spinal nerves. These nerves are the primary communication link between the body to the brain. Pressure on these nerves interferes with the communication between the body and the brain, which may cause organs, tissues, and cells not to function properly. Chiropractic identifies, analyzes and helps correct these disturbances to restore the body’s natural balance and the potential for self-healing.
