spinal column (vertebrae). When a vertebra is doing what it is supposed to be doing, it provides a movable protective device for the spinal cord. However, if a vertebra gets misaligned it can fail to protect, and actually become an insult to the central nerve system. The scientific term for that is vertebral subluxation<\/em>.<\/p>\nA vertebral subluxation is a small thing that can make a huge difference. Distorted nerve supply may not produce immediate symptoms, but it always interferes with normal function. Unfortunately, we may not even feel anything wrong for prolonged periods of time.<\/p>\n
Previously we stated that chiropractic is an essential service that improves a person\u2019s function and performance. <\/em>Let\u2019s consider what that means. We all learned in elementary school that there are certain essentials necessary for health and function. We learned that good nutrition, adequate exercise, sufficient rest, pure water, clean air, and good hygiene were so vital that if we failed to provide our body with any of these there would be predictable, measurable functional problems leading to ill health and poor performance. A good nerve supply is also a basic essential, and arguably the most important and crucial of them all. That\u2019s why we consider chiropractic to be an essential rather than an alternative. It doesn\u2019t replace any of the other essentials, but it remains a key fundamental way of reducing nerve interference.<\/p>\n Many people don\u2019t seek chiropractic care until something doesn\u2019t feel right. The good news is that a precise chiropractic adjustment does much more than just pain relief, it actually improves life in many ways as the body begins to function more normally. That brings us to an important thought. Getting one\u2019s spine checked for subluxation and receiving a precise, gentle adjustment long before anything hurts can go a long way toward improving a person\u2019s life.<\/p>\n Chiropractic exists to identify and make safe and effective correction of vertebral subluxations. Reducing nerve interference allows babies, children, adults and elderly to perform at their best.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A common misunderstanding is that chiropractic care is an alternative form of medicine. Nothing could be further from the truth. Chiropractic is not an alternative form of health care. In fact it\u2019s an essential life enhancing service that compliments anything … Continue reading
