What Chiropractors do

Category: Recent Posts  |  Permalink

Published: Monday, January 25, 2010

I often get asked, "What do chiropractors really do?"  Most people think we are back and neck pain doctors.  We do some weird cracking of the back and people feel better, or their headaches miraculously disappear.  The simple truth is that chiropractic since its inception in 1895 is based on four simple concepts.

1. The body is a self healing mechanism.  In other words, your body knows how to heal.  If you cut your finger, clean the wound and put a bandage on it the bandage will magically heal the cut. Right?  No of course not your cut is going to heal with or without the bandage.  Your body can heal itself.

2.  Your brain and nervous system controls how everything in your body works.  This means healing is controlled by your nervous system as well as the function of every cell, tissue and organ in your body.  The master controller, the brain, communicates to every thing in our body through our nerves.  What would happen if there is interference with this communication?

3.  Interference with the brains communication with the rest of the body will compromise your health.   It is impossible for your body to function at 100% if there is interference between the brain and the rest of the body.  Every nerve in our body travels through the spine at some level.  If the spine is out of normal position and not moving correctly it can interfere with these communication signals. We call this a subluxation.

4.  Removing the interference restores the bodies functions by normalizing the brains communication with the rest of the body.  That is what we do as chiropractors.  We are the only profession trained in the detection and correction of subluxations.  There are other professions that may manipulate the joints but mobilizing the joints is not the same as adjusting to correct the interference created by the subluxation.

Chiropractic has many techniques to detect and correct subluxations and thereby getting rid of pain and restoring function.  KST is one of the gentlest and most effective that I have found.

Great post and info! Chiropractors are such a difficult subject. You're gonna have your doubters, but it seems like more and more are having a positive experience, and then they tell someone. I think it's one of the most talked about subjects nowadays, and I think it's great. Chiropractors are unbelievable at helping the human health and its well fare.

I'm really interested about how chiropractic can be integrated with other forms of natural and mind-body medicine. If you haven't read it yet - I highly recommend Quantum Healing by Deepak Chopra.

chiropractic is a system of complementary medicine based on the diagnosis and manipulative treatment of misalignments of the joints, esp. those of the spinal column, which are held to cause other disorders by affecting the nerves, muscles, and organs.

"Your body can heal itself" To an extent this is true but without some sort of external intervention the process is slow and sometimes it does not work at all without it.

Chiropractic Care can be difficult to understand if you have never been exposed to it or experienced it personally. When you are searching for chiropractic care for you or a loved one you want to find something that not only works but is gentle and comfortable. We pride ourselves in providing both great results and light adjustments. Specifically, we offer a light force technique called Atlas Orthogonal.

You have lots of truly valuable information on your site, and I like this answer in particular. It gives a good straight forward approach to patients. Sometimes us chiropractors get too wrapped up in the terminology.

Understanding Vertebral subluxation | Murrieta CA

Category: Recent Posts  |  Permalink

Published: Tuesday, September 15, 2009

You live your life through your nervous system. It is the master system and controller of your body. Right now your heart is beating, kidneys are working, liver is functioning, brain chemicals are flowing all without you having to think about it. This is because your nervous system is coordinating it all and making it happen. What would happen if there was interference with the function of your nervous system? It would interfere with you body's ability to heal and regulate.

An important term and concept that every person should know and understand is vertebral subluxation. Vertebral subluxation, or subluxation for short, refers to a mechanical problem in the spine that relates to nerve interference. When a person is subluxated, it reduces their ability to heal, regulate and express well-being. Like cavities in teeth, subluxations are very common in our culture. It is the primary goal of the chiropractor to detect and correct subluxations so that you can improve healing, regulation, and general well-being.

A limited nervous system means limited wellness. If we want to optimally create higher levels of wellness, we then need to remove nervous system interference as a part of the process. Chiropractors are uniquely trained to do this. Millions of people, from infants to seniors over 100 years old, benefit from chiropractic adjustments every year. Set a Appointment

Based on this post i agree on the chiropractors, i believe that our body no matter what happens, will heal itself. It was controlled by our nervous. There's a thing that we should think and command first before we do but theres also a thing that we do not need to command just to to do it.

Every chiropractor should know what subluxation means. It is a word that grasp expertise. Anyway, people should know this information before visiting a chiropractor. In this manner they will know the whereabouts of how chiropractics work.

A limited nervous system means limited wellness - infact thats true. Our nervous system is sensitive. A small interference may cause serious health problems. We must be very particular to our health cause "health is wealth". If you feel something indifferently like back pain then chiropractors can be your aid.


Posted by: Austin chiropractor
Sunday, May 15, 2011 @ 11:08:48 PM

The nervous system is indeed very systematic. One disturbance or interference can contribute to a serious health problem. If you can feel something unusual to your health. Better see a professional chiropractor today and consult your problem.

Treatment/Therapy for Chiropractor really works well for musculoskeletal problems and nerve related problems. Though this method working well your chiropractor should be an experienced and registered also with govt. approved association. Chiropractors are available locally you can found one of them nearby you.

Nice blog, I look forward to coming here and learning much from you. I have gone to a chiropractor for 20 years now and do not want to think of where I would be without it, ugh. Dr. B is more than my doctor, he is my friend. In fact, I almost enrolled into the NY State Chiropractic College, but alas, Divine Providence had another path for me to travel. So be it. I have scoliosis, perhaps you could do a post on how chiropractic can help with that? Thank you.
