What is it exactly?
Taking a Natural Systemic Approach to Healing
Chiropractic is a way of looking at the human body as a whole. It's based on the idea that the body is self-sustaining and self-healing. The power that made the body also has the power to heal the body.
You know that your body is controlled by your brain, but the spinal cord and vast network of nerves that carry its messages are just as important. When this system is not functioning at its peak(somewhere along the line there is inflammation or pressure), your body’s overall performance suffers.
In the chiropractic world, we do not prescribe medication to treat symptoms.
We get to the root of the problem and treat the cause.
While supplementation and nutrition are almost always a part of the bigger picture, certain drugs and prescriptions can be viewed as bandaids to treat symptoms rather than alleviating the source of the problem. Chiropractic treats the problem naturally and in turn prompts the body to heal itself.
While it's often perceived that the chiropractor solely treats back and neck pain, this is a small piece of what the profession is capable of handling. Chiropractors not only treat soft and hard tissue problems such as sciatica and joint pain, but are largely called on to deal with many different health issues. Some of these issues include fibromyalgia, allergies, insomnia, and headaches among many more. Check out our 3D Spine page to learn more about this!
