What is Chiropractic?
A. Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your body is a self-regulating, self- healing organism. These important functions are controlled by the brain. spinal cord, and all the nerves of the body. When your nervous system is working properly all of the tissues and organs of your body are designed to resist disease and ill-health. A common interference to the nervous system is the 24 moving, weight bearing bones of the spinal column. A loss of normal position or motion of these bones can irritate the nerves, tissues, and muscles surrounding these bones resulting in impaired nervous system function. This can result in pain or other abnormal bodily functions. The goal for us at Cedar Park Chiropractic is to detect these bones and joints that are not functioning properly, adjust the specific areas, and recommend stretches, exercises or other conservative methods so that you and your nervous system can operate at its best.
A health care profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on the nervous system and general health. There is an emphasis on manual treatments including spinal adjustment and other joint and soft tissue manipulation (World Federation of Chiropractic).
The focus of Chiropractic is the nerve system function. Your spinal bones protect your spinal cord & nerves which control every cell, tissue & organ in your body! Your nerve system is the master controller, & works like a switchboard sending messages to the brain and the rest of the body. Once your spine is balanced & free of nerve interference your body works at its best, self healing & self regulating.
Chiropractic is the treatment of ailments without the use of drugs or surgery. Chiropractors help restore optimum function by helping improve the nervous system function, which then allows the body to heal itself. A loss of normal motion of the bones can impair or irritate the function of the nervous system. Chiropractors fix the misalignment through regular adjustments.
