WHAT IS AN ADJUSTMENT?
Chiropractic is based on the principle that the nervous system is the master control center of the body. Any interruption or alteration of the signals from the brain to the body, or from the body to the brain will cause disease or symptoms. Stated simply, the structure of the body affects the function of the body.
When the joints of the spine become misaligned, they loose proper motion as well. The chiropractic term for this condition is called subluxation. In fact, any joint in the body can become subluxated. Without exception, everyone has subluxations in their spine, caused by varying sources of trauma, toxicity and thought processes. Also without exception, everyone needs chiropractic care to keep their spine in proper alignment. We cannot escape the forces that cause subluxations no matter how hard we try to exercise, or eat right, or think properly. Chiropractic adjustments are applied to the spine and other joints of the body to resore proper position and movement to these joints and restore function.
Every year more research is done that validates the chiropractic principle that subluxations of the spine alter function and cause disease. All disease has an early departure from wellness that has little or no symptoms. Symptoms are the last thing to show up and the first thing to subside in the body, so if you have pain of any sort, the origin of it has been there for longer than you realize. The best time to get your spine checked and adjusted is before pain and symptoms arise. Call us today at 303-543-1400 for a complimentary consultation.
