Chiropractic is a
natural method of health care that treats the causes of physical problems
rather than just the symptoms. Chiropractic is based on a simple but powerful
premise: With a healthy lifestyle and normally functioning spinal joints
and nerves, your body is better able to heal itself. That's because the
spinal cord, which is protected by the spine, is the main pathway of your
nervous system. It controls movement, feeling, and function throughout
your body. What Is Spinal Subluxation? Subluxation occurs when joints in your spine do not move properly. This joint dysfunction can put pressure on the spinal cord or on nerves that exit from the spinal cord. Subluxation can happen when you misuse or overuse your spine. Injury, stress, or poor posture can also cause subluxation. You may have pain and stiffness in your back, or numbness and tingling in your legs or arms. Or you may feel no symptoms at all.
The joints in your spine allow the bones (vertebrae) to move. When the joints are aligned, the bones glide smoothly. Discs act as cushions between the bones, and ligaments and muscles connect and support the bones.
An unhealthy spinal joint
doesn't function properly. Joints can become misaligned or restricted
in their range of motion if ligaments and muscles are stretched or torn,
or if discs bulge, rupture, or wear down. Then the spinal cord or the
nerves that branch from it can become irritated, causing pain. Experience Our Personal Touch For Pain Relief! Most Insurance Accepted Se Habla Español East Colonial Chiropractic |
