Can a Chiropractor pushing on a back really improve health?

Witnessing a surgeon cut open an anesthetized patient to perform surgery reveals the complexity and power of available through surgical procedures. Understanding the risks of such procedures usually cannot be tangibly measured until the risk becomes a necessity. Chiropractic adjustments offer a completely different perspective and approach.

A Chiropractic adjustment completely strays from the approach that cutting edge health care takes place with scalpels and surgery. Those people with limited understanding of the science surrounding Chiropractic know little about the nervous system beyond witnessing a Chiropractor apply pressure to the spine and neck. That scenario often leads to misunderstanding or lack of understanding and creates questions of validity regarding how adjustments on the spine can impact all parts of the body. The modern Chiropractor believes in the call to not only offer the best health care available, but to also create an environment of education that empowers patients to understand and take ownership of their family’s health.

Understanding the importance of a healthy spine begins the empowerment process. The purpose of the spine extends far beyond providing a strong tube-like piping around a delicate life-giving spinal cord. The spine supplies a significant amount of the vital nutrition to the brain through electrical feedback and movement. The better the movement, the better the brain and nervous system function. Every organ in the body connects to the nervous system. When the nervous system functions better, all aspects of health and human performance improve. A massive influx of research over the past 15 years proves the immeasurable value in living with a healthy spine.
