What happens if I leave the problem or just cover the pain? |
|
All the evidence tells us that uncorrected Spinal problems get worse the longer they are left. Nobody likes to have an unexpected bill, even when it occurs as a result of an accident. To leave a problem or to simply only get some short term relief will eventually cost more, both in pain and suffering, as well as money. Why wait?
The price of the adjustment is known, but the value is priceless. |
Often described in practice as a partial dislocation, a subluxation is when the vertebrae move slightly out of alignment causing pressure or irritation to the nerves. The spine loses normal motion and/or position and can have an affect on the nerves involved and vertebrae around the subluxated area. As the vertebrae are not functioning properly this can cause wear and tear on the discs and associated ligaments, muscles and other spinal tissue. This nerve interference results in the body operating at a reduced rate. Pain, inflammation and tenderness often follow. Once the nervous system has been impaired via a subluxation, the overall health and wellbeing of the person is at reduced.
Chiropractors locate Subluxations which cause interference to the nervous system. They then correct the interference through gentle movements of the spine. This is usually done with the hands, which relieves the pressure to the nerves therefore assisting in correction and improving the health of the nerves. |
What Causes Subluxations? |
Subluxations are caused through varying ways. They can be responses to physical, emotional, chemical or genetic factors.
Physical – birth process, slips, falls, car accident, poor sleeping habits, repetitive motions, sports injuries, bad postural habits etc
Emotional – stressful conditions such as family problems, divorce, death in family, work stresses, life problems and not being able to manage stressful situations.
Chemical – external pollutants in the environment, smoking, drugs, car fumes, alcohol, poor diet
Genetics – Many health problems can run in families.
Muscle weakness or imbalance from stress, obesity or lack of exercise are all contributing factors to Subluxations
"The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease." -- Thomas Edison |
