More About Chiropractic
Chiropractic?
Chiropractic deals with many aspects of how your body functions including; nutrition, ergonomics, sports
injuries, repetitive stress injuries such as tennis elbow and carpal tunnel, daily aches and pains, and
especially wellness care.
Inside of everyone’s back is a series of bones called a spine. Within the spine lies their nervous system.
The nervous system is a series of wires which allow the communication between every muscle, joint,
organ, and cell throughout your body. The nervous system tells all of these areas of your body how to
work, they determine you health. This means that in order to live a healthy life you must have a healthy set
of nerves.
The spine is made up of many joints, this allows the body to move and bend. Without all of these joints we
would have a much more difficult time putting on our shoes every morning. In between each of these joints
is where the nerve is allowed to leave and give the messages to the muscles and organs. If the joint is not
allowed to have the proper motion due to the joint locking up or muscle spasm then the joint will not
achieve the nutrition that it needs. The only way that joints are allowed to get their nutrients is through
motion. Without the nutrients the joint will start to break down, within 24 hours. After 90 days this break-
down will start to become permanent. As the joint breaks down the joint will become more narrow.
Since this is where the nerve leaves from pressure can be created around the nerve. Nerves are some of
the most pressure sensitive structures in the whole body. The weight of just one quarter will decrease a
nerves ability to function by 60%, and the weight of a dime will decrease the nerves ability to function by
40%. It is easy to see how over time these changes can decrease your body’s ability to function at its
best.
Very little of the nerve is actually devoted to sensing pain. This means that by the time that pain is noticed
the nerve may have significantly decreased performance, the joint may have considerable damage, and the
muscles / organs which operate by these nerves are likely not operating at their full capability. If you have
pain or symptoms already make an appointment with my wonderful staff. If you are pain free schedule a
spinal maintenance check up to help ensure that your body is able to perform at its best.
Dr August A White, MD professor
at Harvard Medical School... in
the July 1993issue of American
Health said; "...only 3% of all back
surgeries can be justified..."
"97% are unnecessary!"
