What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic works with the bones of the spinal column (vertebrae) and the nerves of the spinal cord. Your spine has 2 main functions: (i) to provide support & allow movement; and (ii) to house & protect your spinal cord. Your nervous system (spinal cord & exiting nerves) controls the function of every cell/tissue/organ in your body. Messages are transmitted from your brain, down your spinal cord, across exiting nerves to a particular body part; and then back up to your brain again. It is these messages that supply the vital information on how that particular body part should function, therefore if they are impeded in any way, that particular body part cannot and will not function at 100% of its capability.
Why or how do these spinal problems begin?
Every now and then, your vertebrae may displace or misalign. Sometimes this is the result of a sports injury, car accident, fall or spill, pregnancy, or poor posture. Other triggers include emotional stress and chemical imbalances. Some of these vertebrae may misalign to an extent where they actually impinge, or put pressure on, an exiting nerve root from your spinal cord. This impingement will interfere with the information flow across that particular nerve (this is called a subluxation).
How do I know something is wrong? What should I be feeling?
Because our nervous system controls the functioning of all our body parts, a faulty nerve supply can result in a vast range of health conditions. Neck pain, back pain and headaches are just symptoms of usually a much deeper health problem. Some people are totally unaware that they have a subluxation. This is because many spinal nerves do not possess the fibres that transmit pain messages. Other health conditions commonly helped by Chiropractors include: colic, bedwetting, sciatica, digestive problems, skin disorders, cramp, depression, allergies, asthma, colds & flu, sleeping disorders and fatigue.
