Q. What is
Chiropractic? A. Chiropractic locates and removes a severe form of spine and nerve stress, a condition that puts pressure on nerves, unbalances your body, lowers your resistance to disease and weakens you: the vertebral subluxation complex.1 Q. What does a Chiropractor do?A. The doctor of chiropractic analyzes your body for vertebral subluxation using his/her hands and other analysis tools, and then corrects or removes any spinal nerve stress using various spinal adjustment techniques.Q. How do we get spinal nerve stress (subluxations)? A. From stress. It may occur in infancy from a difficult birth or from childhood falls. Later in life, emotional tension or stress can gradually damage your spine or violent injuries from automobile accidents or sports can suddenly knock you “out of whack”. Q. Who is affected by subluxations? A. Nearly everyone eventually gets spinal nerve stress. It is a “hidden epidemic” and it is for that reason that we all need to have our spines checked for this condition by a doctor of chiropractic every once in a while, just as we get our eyes, teeth and blood pressure checked! Q. Assuming I’m going to take chiropractic treatments, how are they performed? A. Chiropractors work with the bones and nerves of the spinal column and spinal cord respectively. Chiropractors spend years of highly specialized training in order to locate where misplaced spinal vertebrae are impinging the nerves which travel down the spinal cord and out through the spinal column to the muscles, organs and glands of the body. After locating the vertebrae impinging the nerves (subluxations) the chiropractor, using various highly specialized techniques, is able to replace the misplaced vertebrae and thus release pressure on the nerves. That is called a spinal adjustment. Q. Can I receive chiropractic treatments if I’m under medical care? A. Absolutely. Having your spinal nerve stress corrected is important to matter what other type of care you are receiving. You can have your spinal column checked for vertebral subluxations by a doctor of chiropractic and still visit a doctor of homeopathy, naturopathy, osteopathy or medicine. MD’s and other healers cannot tell if you are suffering from spinal nerve stress (vertebral subluxations) and are not trained in correcting it. Q. In Chiropractic are there other significant factors besides vertebral adjusting? A. Yes, there are five laws to obey for those who desire health and longevity:
Q. How long does a typical Chiropractic appointment take? A. Not long at all, a typical appointment takes 20 min or less.
