What is Chiropractic?
Taking A Natural Systemic Approach To Healing
Chiropractic is an overall way of looking at the human body.
It's based on the idea that the body is self-sustaining and
self-healing. The body is in essence completely controlled by
the brain through its connection via the spinal cord and the
vast networks of nerves that make up the body. When this system
is not functioning at its peak, the overall performance of the
human body is lacking.
In the chiropractic world, drugs and medicine are not utilized
as a form of treating a patient. While supplementation and
nutrition are almost always a part of the bigger picture, drugs
and prescriptions can be viewed as band-aids to treat symptoms
rather than going to the source and treating the real problem.
While it's often perceived that the chiropractor is solely here
to treat back and neck pain, this is simply a small piece of
what the profession really 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 more
significant issues. Some of these issues include fibromyalgia,
allergies, insomnia, headaches and many more.
