Chiropractic healthcare is the branch of the healing arts, which is based on the scientific principle that our nervous system controls or influences the function of all 11 trillion interconnected cells in our body. The term“Chiropractic” comes from the Greek words “chiro and praktikos” meaning “done by hand.”
The Chiropractic or wellness model of health is centered on the philosophy that the human body will heal itself given the right opportunity. In other words the body heals from the inside out. No Doctor or medicine has ever healed anyone of anything. Only the body can heal itself and chiropractors as healers just facilitate it with our trained “healing” abilities.
Interference to the nervous system, caused by a vertebral subluxation complex (what we all know as a misaligned vertebra or spinal bone) will affect how the nervous system relates to the cells to which it influences.
Think of nerve irritation like a dimmer switch on your lights. If the dimmer is turned down, the lights are still on, but the light is low. If it is turned up too high, the bulb may burn out prematurely. Therefore the muscle or organ still receives the nerve impulse, however it is altered. This helps to explain why when nerve irritation exists in the middle back region, an individual may experience indigestion or an upset stomach. Doctors of Chiropratic (DC’s) essentially promote the healing process by minimizing interference to the nervous system. By detecting and correcting nerve interference, Doctors of Chiropracticfacilitate the healing process, but it is still the power within your body that does all the healing.
