Chiropractic care focuses on maximizing the body’s incredible potential for self-healing by detecting, correcting and preventing interferences in your nervous system. It may include spinal adjustments, stretches, exercises or other healthy lifestyle recommendations.
Your spinal column is made up of 24 vertebrae which are stacked up like a pile of donuts. Between each of these vertebrae are pads of cartilage called discs, which act like shock absorbers. Discs also function as spacers, allowing your nerve roots to exit your spinal column between each vertebrae without being “pinched” or irritated. Healthy discs are an essential part of the spine’s amazing ability to protect the nervous system and allow flexibility and full range of motion.
You visit a dentist for oral care and an optometrist for eye care. Your chiropractor is your specialist on spinal care. Regular spinal check ups should be part of your balanced healthcare program.
Like regular exercise and a balanced diet chiropractic can have lasting benefits to long term quality of life.
