WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?
Chiropractic is the worlds largest natural health care discipline based on the scientific premise that the body is a self-regulating, self-healing organism.
Every function of the body is controlled by the brain, spinal cord, and all the nerves of the body. “Chiropractic” comes from the Greek word Chiropraktikos, meaning “done by hand.”
The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine, and pelvis) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health. When this relationship is out of sync it can manifest poor health and decreased wellbeing.
The skull protects the delicate tissues of the brain. The moving bones of the spine protect the intricate communication pathways of the spinal cord and nerve roots. If these nervous system pathways are impaired due to things like poor posture, injury and stress this can lead to impaired function of supporting muscles, tissues and organ systems throughout the body.
IT’S ALSO…
✔ Chiropractic is the science of locating areas of imbalance, the art of reducing their impact to the nervous system, and a philosophy of natural health care based on your inborn potential to be healthy.
✔ Chiropractic also places an emphasis on nutrition and exercise, wellness and healthy lifestyle modifications.
✔ Chiropractic works by helping to restore your own inborn ability to be healthy by removing any interference to your nervous system. When under the proper control of your nervous system, all the cells, tissue, and organs of your body are designed to function well and resist disease and ill health.
Through Chiropractic care, we recognise that your brain and nervous system is the master controller of every function in your body. When it’s working without any interference your body can regenerate, regulate and develop to the best of its ability.
Your brain controls all function from how fast your heart should beat, what enzymes to produce and when for digestion, how to move your body and perceive every other sense in your body and more.
Your brain receives this information and tells your body how to function via the rest of your nervous system. Primarily through the “super highway” we call your spinal cord (see photo).
Much like your brain is encased in bone to protect it, so is your spinal cord. The difference is your spine is made up of 33 ‘movable’ bones. THAT difference is why your more susceptible to the physical, chemical and emotional stressors in life. When these stressors overcome us it can cause your spine to mis-align, interfering with your nervous systems ability to talk to your body appropriately.

“The Big Idea”
A slip on the snowy sidewalk, in winter, is a SMALL thing. It happens to millions. A fall from a ladder, in the summer, is a SMALL thing. That also happens to millions. The slip or fall produces a subluxation. The subluxation is a SMALL thing. The subluxation produces pressure on a nerve. That pressure is a SMALL thing. The pressure cuts off the flow of mental impulses. That decreased flow is a SMALL thing. That decreased flow produces a diseased body and brain. That is a BIG thing to that man.
Multiply that sick man by a thousand, and you control the physical and mental welfare of a city. Multiply that man by a million and you shape the physical and mental destiny of a State. Multiply that man by one hundred thirty million, and you forecast and can prophesy the physical and mental status of a nation.
Now comes a man. Any one man is a SMALL thing. This man gives an adjustment. The adjustment is a SMALL thing. The adjustment replaces the subluxation. That is a SMALL thing. The adjusted subluxation releases pressure upon nerves. That is a SMALL thing. The released pressure restores health to a man. That is a BIG thing to that man.
Multiply that well man by a thousand, and you step up the physical and mental welfare of a city. Multiply that well man by a million, and you increase the efficiency of a State. Multiply that well man by one hundred thirty million, and you have produced a healthy, wealthy, and better race for posterity. So adjustment of the subluxation, to release pressure upon nerves, to restore mental impulse flow, to restore health, is BIG enough to rebuild thoughts and actions of the world.
The idea that knows cause, that can correct the cause of disease, is one of the biggest ideas known. Without it, nations fall; with it, nations rise. The idea is the BIGGEST thing I know of.”
