A chiropractic adjustment not only makes you feel better, but helps you function better for longer. Your body and brain do not want to be out of alignment, and that’s exactly what a specific chiropractic adjustment helps address.
When the spine is out of alignment, this has a negative impact on your body’s internal communication system, the nervous system. The nervous system is the electrical communication system of the entire body. If it is not working optimally, many facets of your health will suffer, such as sleep, digestion, mental health, hormonal regulation, immunity, and of course posture and muscle control.
As chiropractors, we don’t just make you feel better, but we also make you HEAL better. As a nervous system chiropractor, it is our job to deliver a nervous system requested adjustment to bring optimal health to your body, restore the brain to body connection, and continually encourage and stimulate your body towards wellness and optimal health.
A subluxation is a misalignment of a vertebra in the spine that is not just a misalignment, but has negative effects on the communication pathways between the brain and the body, blood flow, lymphatic flow, muscle, and joint health. This subluxation must be corrected by a nervous system chiropractor. When the subluxation is corrected by a trained chiropractor, this restores health to the nervous system, which has positive effects on the organs, tissues, and every single cell in your body. Only chiropractors are trained to correct a spinal subluxation. It is not the same thing as a spinal manipulation, it is not back cracking, but is highly specific and precise to draw the brain’s attention to a particular area that needs healing and greater communication with the rest of your bodily systems.
What causes subluxation?
Subluxation is caused by the three T’s – thoughts, traumas, and toxins. Our negative and stressful thinking causes neurological stress, which can lead to a tonal weakness in the body, causing subluxations. A serious trauma, like a car accident, can obviously cause a subluxation, but also microtraumas, such as posture, sitting, driving, and/or carrying a baby can also cause these subluxations over time and with repetition. And finally, toxins can cause neurological and biochemical interferences and weakness in the body, impacting TONE which can cause a spinal subluxation. These can all be corrected by a nervous system trained chiropractor.
