What is a chiropractic treatment?


The word chiropractic is literally translated from Greek as “done by hand.” Chiropractic is the largest and most popular drug-free health care system in the world and has been a blessing to millions of people worldwide since its discovery in 1895 by D.D. Palmer. Chiropractors work primarily with the spine because the nervous system (brain, spinal cord and nerves) controls and coordinates ALL functions of the body. The innate wisdom or intelligence of the body is expressed through the nervous system at all times. A chiropractic adjustment is usually applied by hand but other limited force techniques including table drops or instrument adjusting can be used with similar results. With each adjustment a force is introduced into the spine in order to restore motion into the joints of the spine. The increased motion of the spine allows for better mobility, decreased pain and most importantly, it eliminates future nerve interference caused by global distortions in the spine. The adjustment is painless but if the “cracking” is bothersome then the aforementioned low force techniques can be used according to patient comfort. To understand Chiropractic you need to acknowledge the supremacy of the nervous system. Your immune system, endocrine system, digestive system and all the other systems of the body are not separate from the nervous system, in fact they are controlled by it. However, messages sent between the brain and body through nerve transmissions can be interfered with by subtle spinal misalignments called “subluxations.” Chiropractors remove these interferences in the nervous system by adjusting the misplaced vertebrae back into position and allowing the body to naturally heal itself with increased coordination and communication between the brain and the body. The clearance of nerve interference is how chiropractic can help a variety of conditions including some of those listed.

Your condition is not listed? Do not worry because this is only a partial list of what chiropractic can help. In fact, chiropractic care can actually help prevent these problems and many others from developing. Just remember that your nervous system controls EVERYTHING in the body and that any interference in the nervous system can lead to dysfunction in the body. Therefore, it is vital to have your spine checked regularly, EVEN IF YOU DON’T HAVE PAIN. After all, most of the nervous system is not pain oriented; you can have a subluxation and not feel pain!

Subluxation: Nerve transmissions (messages) between the brain and body can be interfered with by subtle misalignments of the spine called “subluxations.”

Specific and gentle Chiropractic adjustments are given to correct subluxations.

What conditions can be treated?

Chiropractic care is an extremely effective means of treating musculoskeletal conditions and is commonly employed to treat:

  • Back Pain
  • Neck Pain
  • Headaches
  • Joint Pain
  • Shoulder Pain
  • Arms & Legs Pain
  • Disc Problems
  • Neuromusculoskeletal Problems

However, because chiropractic care maintains mobility throughout the spine and therefore eliminates nerve interference caused by abnormal biomechanics, it is essential to every function in the human body since every function has it origins in the nerves that originate from the spinal cord.
