The Science
Since its beginning, Chiropractic has been based on the scientific fact that the nervous system controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ, and system of your body. While the brain is protected by the skull, the spinal cord is more vulnerable, covered by 24 moving vertebrae. When these bones lose their normal motion or position, they can irritate the nervous system. This disrupts the function of the tissues or organs these nerves control, and is called Vertebral Subluxation Complex.
Lessened ability to respond to physical and emotional stress
Lowered resistance to disease
Joint degeneration, bone deformation, disc destruction
Loss of height
Inability to "hold" adjustments for long periods
Subluxations Can Also Effect
Emotional Health
A subluxation can disrupt neurotransmitters, chemicals released by nerves in your brain, spinal cord and immune system. This can have wide-ranging physical and emotional effects.
Trophic Substances
Chemicals that travel along nerves to supply muscles and other organs with nutrition. They are essential for muscle tone and organ vitality.
The Meninges
The wrap around your brain, spinal cord and many nerves, and connect to your spine, can be distorted by subluxation. This can affect the stability and health of your entire spinal column and nervous system.
Organ Health
A disruption of the nerve-organ relationship has been linked to weakened immune system, increased tumor formation, blood pressure irregularities, disrupted kidney function, altered heart regulation, hormone level abnormalities and other conditions.
Immune System Function
Nerve fibers go into virtually every organ of the immune system and form direct contacts with the immune system cells. If you took the nerves away from the spleen or the lymph nodes, you've virtually stopped the immune response system.
Elimination of the Vertebral Subluxation Complex Produces
Better Spinal Function - Every Time
Spinal muscles,ligaments, joints, discs and cartilage become healthier.
Improvement in posture, body balance and a slowing, stopping or in some cases a reversal of subluxation degeneration.
Better Whole Body Function - Every Time
Better spinal, nerve system, organ and tissue health
Attitudes and outlook improve.
Improvement of the Spine and Whole Body function improves whole body health, resulting in better healing, better expression of life, an increase in wellness and a better world.
After a through exam and review of your health history, Dr. Greg Muchnij from My Chiropractic Health and Wellness Center will recommend a specific care program. If yours is a chiropractic case, be it from an auto accident, personal injury, mental, emotional or chemical stress or birth trauma, your care will include specific spinal adjustments. The word adjustment describes hundreds of ways of using carefully directed and controlled pressure to restore spinal bones to a more normal position and motion. When spinal function is improved, nervous system functions (health) can improve too.
Today's Doctor of Chiropractic takes four years of college after premedical school to master the adjusting "art" of chiropractic. Chiropractic philosophy recognizes that only the power that created the body can heal the body, and can do so more efficiently when there is a good nerve supply - free of any distortion. Instead of covering up your symptoms with drugs, chiropractic looks to correct the underlying causes.
