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.
