What Is Chiropractic ?
Chiropractic means to heal with hands and it is a conservative therapy involving the diagnosis and treatment of neuromusculoskeletal conditions. A Chiropractors primary goal is to make sure the spine is in the most neutral position possible to avoid wear and tear and degeneration occurring due to misaligned joints. They achieve this with the spinal adjustment which is explained later. Misaligned joints can cause impingement syndromes as well as incorrect functioning of the muscles surrounding these joints which can in turn lead to the development of trigger points in these muscles. All of this can result in a dysfunctional spine which can have a negative impact on the nervous system. The nervous system is the most important organ in the body, by keeping the spinal joints working and intact we are also keeping the nervous system healthy.
