Chiropractic
Chiropractic is the largest drug free, primary health care profession in the western world. It is based on the scientific fact that the human body is both self regulating and self healing, and it is the brain, spinal cord and nerve function that allows this.
Chiropractic is based on the understanding that the natural state for our body is balance. Often, pain and other symptoms are a sign from our bodies that we are out of balance.
The beauty of Chiropractic is in it's simplicity. Chiropractic is a proactive, non-invasive approach to enhance health and well-being by fine tuning the body so it works at it's absolute peak. For health and vitality our nervous system needs to function without distortion or interference. The bones of the skull, spine and pelvis protect the delicate pathways that make up the nervous system. Imbalances within these structures can alter nerve function and therefore impact normal healthy body function. Chiropractic is enjoyed by millions of people every year to maximise their health and well-being.
Chiropractic techniques have been around since the earliest recorded history, often called 'bone setting' in many cultures. The word Chiropractic is from Greek chiro "hand" and praktikos "concerned with action". As a profession, it dates back to 1895. Chiropractors use a natural method of health care that focuses on restoring the balance to the body's structural framework (joints and muscles) and in many cases, affecting the nervous system. Accumulated tension and strain in these areas can adversely affect a person's overall health.
Chiropractic treats the causes of physical problems instead of just the symptoms. If pain is being generated from altered spinal biomechanics or irritation of the nervous system, pain medication may reduce the symptoms you are consciously aware of, but doesn't correct the underlying reasons why there is pain. The premise of chiropractic is that the body is better able to heal itself with normally functioning nerves and spine, along with a healthy lifestyle.
Chiropractors have five years of professional medical training, resulting in a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree. They study anatomy, physiology, pathology, diagnosis, and the biomechanical structure and function of the spine, and how it effects health and disease. It is the largest alternative medical profession, and the third largest doctored profession - after medical doctors and dentists.
