What is Chiropractic
In other words, the human body is a complex organism where every organ, every muscle, every cell, every molecule has its function.
But what organizes this sophisticated machinery is the central nervous system, and especially the brain. So we can say that the brain essentially sends health orders to the rest of the body.
This health information can often be disrupted when it travels through a damaged spine, when a vertebral, disc (herniated, protruded), or postural problem occurs.
What chiropractic is about?
A good example of multilevel consequence resolution is when a “malpositioned” cervical vertebra produces local pain, with tension headaches, dizziness, vagus nerve activation with nausea, and tachycardia. The chiropractor corrects the cervical problem, and all the negative consequences described above get subsequently resolved.
Also offering a more up-to-date view of the nervous system, it focuses on normalizing the activity of the central nervous system (migraines, vertigo, tremors, etc.) and the peripheral nervous system (neuropathic pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, brachialgia, etc.).
