Chiropractic, for your Health!

Chiropractic is defined as a philosophy of things natural; a system of adjusting the segments of the spinal column in order to relieve pressure upon the nerves, so that the nerve impulses may flow freely from the brain to the rest of the body. The brain communicates and controls the systems, organs, glands, tissues and cells of the body by transmitting messages through the spinal cord and spinal nerves to the body parts. If there is interference in the brain's messages, the body does not function at 100% of it's potential. Depending how much pressure is on the nerves, the body will function even less and then can become sick or diseased. Chiropractic is not a treatment for sickness or disease, but it is a systematic way of removing nerve pressure from the spine and restoring function to nerve impinged body parts. A nervous system free of interference allows the body to work better and to be healthier. Preventative chiropractic care performed on a regular basis helps every system in the body work the way nature intended it too. This includes the immune system, which is why most chiropractic patients, in general, are healthier and less sick than their non-chiropractic counterparts.

Thought for the Week: "It is a misnomer to call medicine the healing art. The healing art is the secret wisdom of the body. Medicine can do no more than facilitate it."---------Andrew Weil, M.D.
