How does chiropractic work?
Misaligned or improper motion of the bones of the spine can cause "subluxations".
This can interfere or irritate the nerves that send messages down
the spinal cord and out to your organs and tissues. Adjustments can
help re-align the vertebrae correcting subluxations. Chiropractic
works because we are self-healing and self-regulating organism
controlled by our nervous system. |
How do I get subluxations?
We get subluxated just by living
but there are 3 major causes:
- Physical;
accidents, falls, improper lifting and repetitive motions.
- Emotions; anger,
grief and fear.
- Chemical; poor
diet, pollution, drugs and alcohol.

How do I know if I have a subluxation?
Like tooth decay or cancer,
subluxations can be present long before any symptoms appear. A few
common symptoms are; Headaches, neck, back and hip pain and tingling
and numbness in the extremities. A thorough examination can show the
location and severity of subluxations. |
Can subluxations clear up on their own?
Sometimes they can, but an
uncorrected subluxation can place pressure on the nerves causing
nerve interference. Even the slightest pressure (the weight of a
dime resting on the back of your hand) is enough pressure to cause
nerve interference.
