Why Chiropractic?
Doctors of Chiropractic assess and correct subluxations, slight misalignments of the spine. These deviations of proper alignment interfere with normal nerve transmission, affecting immune and hormonal function, as well as the natural motion of your spinal joints. That’s because almost all the nerves that connect your brain to the rest of your body pass between each vertebrae, or “bone” of the spine. The spinal column is composed of 24 vertebrae surrounded by muscles, ligaments and discs, allowing us to move fluidly in many directions. If Mother Nature had preferred that we not have this mobility, she would have provided a “broomstick” spine, instead of 24 moveable segments. It is important for good health, comfort and well-being that all of these vertebrae move normally. Regular activities of daily living, including sports, chores, work, playing with your children and unfortunately, injuries, disrupt normal spinal alignment and motion. Chiropractic spinal manipulation is a vital means of restoring this normal alignment and motion that is so important for good health. Now, that makes sense, doesn’t it?
